Satnam Singh Bhamara |
Don’t look now, but another highly-touted prospect from Asia is fast emerging as the next Yao Ming in the NBA. No, he is not a Chinese like Yao and Yi Jianlian but a native of Punjab, India. Meet Satnam Singh Bhamara, who stands seven feet tall and still growing at his tender age of 14 years old. He is big and athletic and his NBA dreams are very much alive. Troy Justice, NBA Director of Basketball Operations, is very much impressed and see a lot of upside with Satnam's raw talents, which he saw personally in action in India, according to NBA Fanhouse.
“Satnam could one day do the same thing for India that Yao Ming did in China -- put the spotlight on basketball through an entire country. It really could be something. First time I saw him play, he was wearing shoes that were falling apart. The seams had split, and he was coming right out of them. That's all he had. He was growing so fast. We tried to help him get shoes. I've heard people talk, but we're not sure they know how big he'll get.”
