BASKETBALL LEGEND CALLS IT A DAY

One of Jordan’s biggest sporting stars of the past two decades has called time on his remarkable career.

Ayman Adais has been a leading light in the national basketball set-up but has decided, at 36, the time is right to step aside and focus on his flourishing coaching career.

Adais, who is 2.08m tall, played for the national team for nearly 20 years, retiring from international duty in 2013, and was a part of the Jordan side that competed in the Basketball World Cup for the first time back in 2010.

The centre also played for Jordan’s top teams including Orthodoxy, Zain, Al Riyadi and Applied Science School.
