Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 6 5-1 1
Amman reclaimed the top line with a 61–56 Game of the Week win over Jerusalem, and this one felt like a championship-caliber response. Jay Mustafa had the captain’s composure when the game tightened, Mahdy “MVP” Suleiman continued to bend the defense with every touch, and Adeeb Yousef helped keep the group organized through Jerusalem’s pressure. The difference was the second-half poise: Amman won the final frame 33–27, got timely support from Big Sal, Ali Suiafan, and Malik Zubi, and reminded the league that their best version is not just explosive — it is calm under heat.
Week 5 4-1 4
 
Amman answered last week’s Tripoli loss exactly how an elite team should: with a ruthless 111–67 response against Istanbul. Mahdy Suleiman still bends every defensive game plan, Jay Mustafa kept the machine organized, and the supporting cast made sure the game never slowed down. Adeeb Yousef brought two-way force, Malik Zubi gave them clean scoring and tempo, and Nour Moati added to the balance that turned this into a track meet early. The key takeaway is not just the blowout — it’s the reset. Amman looked sharp, connected, and reminded everyone that when they play with pace, discipline, and full offensive balance, their ceiling is still championship-level.
Week 4 3-1 4

They finally took an L (48–50 vs. Tripoli), and it wasn’t for lack of talent — it was late-game execution. Jay Mustafa kept them organized, Mahdy Suleiman still commanded attention every touch, and Adeeb Yousef had stretches where he looked like the best athlete on the floor. Ali Suiafan lived in the mid-range, but a couple empty trips (plus a few tough whistles) flipped the night. They’re still elite — just not untouchable.
Week 3 3-0 1

Business as usual: 78–62 over Dhaka and they never looked rattled. Uncle Jay Mustafa kept the ship steady, Mahdy Suleiman set the “every possession matters” tone, and MVP candidate Adeeb Yousef had them winning the physical battle in the second half. Big Sal anchored the defense with presence + talk, and Malik Zubi gave them clean bench minutes that kept the pace high. If Amman plays this connected week-to-week, the #1 line stays theirs until someone takes it.
Week 2 2-0 1

Amman stayed perfect with a statement win over Cairo (79–64). Uncle Jay Mustafa had them playing with pace and confidence — and with MVP Mahdy Suleiman plus Coach Adeeb Yousef steadying the ship, the talent + composure gap showed as they pulled away in the second half. At 2–0, they’ve earned the top line and look like the team to beat until someone proves otherwise.
Week 1 1-0 2
 
Amman handled business vs. Kabul (77–72), and the talent is unmistakable. After falling behind 20–0, Uncle Jay Mustafa settled them down, and with MVP Mahdy Suleiman plus Coach Adeeb Yousef leading the push, they always look like they have another gear. It wasn’t a stroll — they had to earn it late — but if they stay locked in for a full 40, they’re still the team everyone’s chasing.
Preseason 0-0 1
An incredibly stacked squad led by Mahdy Suleiman—MVP the past two seasons—and his uncle Jay Mustafa, last season’s Defensive Player of the Year. It’s a family-powered roster with a strong supporting cast. If they stay healthy and build chemistry quickly, they could be the favorites to win it all.
