Biography

A classic example of your blue-collar workhorse type of player, Kamal does all the little things to get the job done, and he doesn't mind getting his hooves dirty doing it. Whether it's setting that high screen, boxing out under the rim, diving on the floor, or mixing it up with the strongest, toughest guys in the league, Kamal will do what it takes to get the victory for his team.

Often going unrecognized for his contributions, Kamal is happy being an extra in the background quietly toiling away or being widely praised for his grit and effort. It doesn't matter to him. The only thing that matters to Kamal is winning, and he makes this very well known in the locker room and on the floor, yelling and rambling in a thick, Moroccan accent that is very tough to understand. Many feel that Kamal is nearly a shoe-in to be a coach one day, and his maturity and leadership have progressed well beyond his 20 years. But for the job at hand, his skills on the court, mixed with his never-say-die attitude and his veteran-esque leadership are a good combination for a solid FBA player whose head and heart are fully immersed in the game.

Kamal (or 'Humps' as he is affectionately, if not uncreatively titled by his teammates) uses his broad body to earn himself nearly a rebound double-double in every game, and he is very physically ready to take on the FBA's strongest players right now. He trusts his teammates and blends in with any team-based system, and can step up and knock down the midrange shot, spin and score from the block, or get the alley-oop. He helps set his teammates up for success with his communication, encouragement, picks, screens, and ball movement, and will go down fighting for the ball or against any opponent.

Many have speculated that Kamal might have a bit of an ego problem. He demands respect, and has a fiery passion for the game. However, the sacrifices he makes every game for his team should speak against any indication of selfishness. Besides, with his tireless endurance on the court, it's only a matter of staying clear of personal and technical fouls, something that he's gradually learned not to argue with the officials over.
