Sonny Side Of Sports - Voice Of America

On Monday's show, we'll hear from Egyptian player Anas Mahmoud of reigning Basketball Africa League (BAL) champion Zamalek. Mahmoud was named the BAL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2021. Over the weekend, he demonstrated his defensive skills when he blocked a game-high seven shots in Zamalek's 80-63 victory over Cobra Sport of South Sudan. The photo shows Mahmoud blocking a shot for the University of Louisville in 2018. He'll be back on the court Tuesday when Zamalek hosts the Cape Town Tigers in Cairo, and Petro de Luanda plays Cobra Sport in BAL action.
