Hey everyone, times have been hectic, I’ve been spending most of my daily (and nightly) hours following the Israeli national team, on and off the court. Last night (July 26th) I was at the game with Andy and the sports rabbi when Israel played a friendly match again Netherland. It was tight but after the third quarter we eventually pulled through and came out with the “W”. Casspi was good, AGAIN. He really looks good on the court, plays with great passion and intensity. I also went with him to a children’s prison to visit young inmates as a part of his NBA cares duty. Anyway, back to last night, after the game I went out for dinner with my co-host David Blu and Israeli Center Uri Kukia, it was really fun despite Blu forgetting his 50% off card (next time bring it man). But we got free drinks (twice) which was cool. Talked a bit about our (mine, Wolf and Blu’s) show and what Blu wants to do after his basketball career (Anchor, Actor), we are working on a few things now. I keep getting carried away, back to the game. The national team looks really good even without a big body in the paint (as of now), despite having NBA player, Francisco Elson crushing the boards and dunking on anything and anyone that got in his way. Overall the team looks like they’re coming together which is really important. The sad part about all this is that I haven’t played ball for over a week because the gym is under construction, I feel a bit like my life is empty without playing with that round orange thing. This week I started to work for one of the biggest basketball websites in Europe, Eurobasket.com (you can follow my articles) which will increase my publicity in Europe as well. Tonight we (Israel) I can say “we” right? I mean It’s my job to follow the team, so yeah, WE, are playing Britain for another exhibition game, I also met Chicago Bulls forward, Luol Deng who is a really nice guy, too bad Ben Gordon didn’t make it. Damn, all these trips to Tel-Aviv are killing me, why couldn’t they make the games in Ra’anana. I’ve been to Tel-Aviv every day in the past two weeks, but hey, not everyone gets exclusive looks with the National team, so I guess it makes up in a way.
That’s all for now, I’ll keep you guys posted soon, feel free to comment on the bottom.
