Biography
Behdad Sami broke the Iranian barrier in American basketball. Born in Iran on June 20, 1986, he is an Iranian American professional basketball player whose career marked a watershed moment for Iranian representation in Western sports. In 2007, Sami became the world's first Iranian basketball player to play professionally at any level in the United States when he signed with the minor-league American Basketball Association. The achievement opened a path that few Iranian athletes had previously accessed. In October 2010, he expanded that legacy further by becoming the first Iranian to play professional basketball in Portugal, cementing his status as a pioneer across multiple continents. As a Gemini born in mid-June, Sami's adaptive, boundary-crossing career reflects the sign's reputation for versatility and communication—in his case, bridging cultural and athletic worlds. His professional basketball career spans both American and European leagues, making him a figure of international sports diplomacy as much as athletic achievement.
