OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Yahoo Sports) – Ali Farokhmanesh. Some folks may not be able to pronounce his name. But no one ever will forget it.

He is Confident, not Cocky. Bravo Ali.
by mehdi2009 on Mon Mar 22, 2010 08:31 AM PDTWhen you are good and back it up with positive action, it is called Confident not Cocky. Twice in a row in a pressure packed situation is not lucky, it is skillful.
Good Luck in the Sweet Sixteen against the Purdue. Bravo Ali.
Salutations to All the TRUE Sons and Daughters of Iran.
