IMO, the best players were Bipin (from Boston...met him in Mad City last wkend as he's currently playing the Tibetan tournament there.  Like me, that cat seems to be everywhere), Sonam (NYNYC...a collegiate player going to Rutgers from this Fall) and Rinzin (MMC, Nepal National player and as per one of the kale Refs after watching his skillz, "He got sum black in him").  They may be the best players where akin to the NBA the best players are the explosive first step guards like Kobe, Iverson, etc. but when it comes to winning a championship, its the fundamentals that count ala a Tim Duncan.  And that Duncan would defn be someone like Saurav.  Saurav is defn a very humble guy off court but when on it, he's a beast!  Opponents get flat-rolled over.  Not only that, DH has the best supporting cast too. 

And for peeps complaining about the Shaq bodied tall guy in DH, quit being lil puzzies.  He's half Nepali and he should and needs to be allowed to play in the ANA.  This ain't Nepal where they have restrictions on Samten playing.  This Samten cat is half Tib and half white and does 360 jams, alleyhoops and has the hops of a grass-hopper...Just because he is half white, the NBA (Nepal Basketball Association) made rules barring him from playing in nepali tournaments but when there is a National competition, he is immediately called for practices.  Can you beleive that BS!!  Damn, he has lived in Nepal all his life and yet, banned!  Sometimes, our mentality that we Neps have disgust me to no avail. 

Comin back to the ANA, I still believe that MMC was the most talented team this ANA but them losing to Boston was a huge disappointment (especailyl Boston paid Bipin $50 per game...unbelievable!!).  Maybe next year MMC would fare better.
