Please do not misconstrue my previous comments as any sign of egoism. I view you all as my nepali brothers having competed against many of you throughout the years, I was deeply hurt to hear such negative comments. Yesterday, I had an emotional breakdown and just cried myself to sleep as I have been unable to deal with your criticisms. I look forward to the ANA each year, not just to play basketball, but to meet with old friends and make new ones. I respect your opinions that participants should all be from one state and we are working on ways to rectify that situation. Currently, the only two out-of-state performers on our team, one from New York and one from Texas, are looking for jobs in Arizona so they can relocate and and we can represent AZ. One of our players is considering taking a job that pays 20,000 dollars less in annual salary in comparison to his NY job so we can all live in the same state and have your respect. However, until this happens, I regret to inform you that DH will not be participating in the upcoming tournament as we concede it is wrong to play with people from other cities. Thank you my brothers for your words of wisdom and good luck in ANA 2009!
