A Little Break From Politics For Some SlamBall!




SlamBall is back for Summer 2008 and this season it has two Arab American players. Nick Shwaery (left) from Florida and Ameer Ismail (right) from Michigan were rookie teammates on the Hombres. They helped the Hombres reach the semi-finals and were one shot away from making the finals.

Nick is a basketball player who earned his graduate education with a basketball scholarship to New York Institute of Technology and Ameer is a football player and an All-American from Western Michigan University . Both of these powerful athletes provided strength to the Hombres’ defense. They beat out hundreds of competitors from around the country for positions on the Hombres’ roster.

Nick, a Web designer, designed the Slamball court where the athletes played. You will be able to see it on CBS later this year. He also created Slamball’s interactive blog
