Re: Israeli Basketball
[QUOTE=la bomba]maccabi are renowned for making shrewd signings. Parker,Morris,Fischer,baston etc ,players that were not very well known but did big things for maccabi.ok they do screw it up sometimes,like bluementhal or bynum.[/QUOTE]
Maccabi hasn't, nowadays, the roster they had in the past, mainly when Anthony Parker, Sarunas Jasikevicius and Nikola Vujcic were there. With this players, the yellow and blue team won back-to-back Euroleague titles (2004, 2005).

Re: Israeli Basketball
Can someone explain to me why Casspi wants to play for rookie scale in the nba if he has offers for 3-4 million tax free. Is the nba really great to sacrifice being a big star in europe.

The lure the NBA has for some(most players) to me is a mystery. I have always played basketball and even in my wildest dreams I didn't even think of the NBA,my wildest dreams where always winning the european cup final/final four.I saw one of the best of 7 kobe vs nuggets games and it was ludicrous.At one point Kobe had 3 possessions in a row where he used all 24 seconds and did not pass it to anyone!Kept bouncing and bouncing and when time ran up he stepped back and threw a brick.If I was Gasol ,Fisher or any of the other lackeys I'd have ****ed off!Lakers have only won that tie once they decided to play inside to Gasol and Kobe cuts his shots down from 1567 to 20!

[URL="http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/2009_06.html"]Here's a link to Omri Casspi's workout in Sacremento.[/URL] From what I saw he's an nba athlete but by the amount of mistakes he made, he's not ready for the nba. He needs to spend a year away from Israel on a team that's not going to kiss his ass and fix the mistakes in his game and develop in the weight room. I think the star potential if he gets that america's not israel and is a chrissy-chris country.

Re: Israeli Basketball
Former newspaper and current washed-up left-wing blog Haaretz that likes washed-up Derek Sharp is reporting rumors from washed-up management of maccabi that Casspi will return to maccabi and not play in the washed-up nba. The washed-up nba is currently part of the "sports entertainment" industry along with the wwe and is not considered a "sports league" like the euroleague, nhl, nfl, and mlb. The nba draft is full of boring players with no personality in their game. I'm not going to watch Stephan Curry because he's Dell Curry's son.

[QUOTE=Grinder]Maccabi has signed Chuck Eidson. Big pickup for them, he lead Rytas to the Eurocup, National Championship, President's cup and Baltic league titles.[/QUOTE]
Eidson hadn't yet sign officially. Same for Allen Anderson.

[QUOTE=cormacraig]And he is still far from being a European star...[/QUOTE]
Second half of the year he did well. Winning won't be a given with Chuck Edison or David Blumental. Casspi is someone to draft to see his potential after six months in the weight room and learning the nba game.
Jeremy Tyler is allegedly signing at Maccabi Haifa. I think it's great for Maccabi Haifa but I don't know how it benefits Jeremy Tyler. Center is the one position in israel that will less like suffer the Marcus Fizer or Carlos Arroyo effect. Still, Maccabi Haifa isn't in the euroleague, I don't think player development in israel is that good, and he could be the next guy that comes to israel and struggles.

This will get Haifa a lot of publicity if nothing else.

Don't dismiss publicity so easily - in a league were the last 40 years had one team winning 38 championships, making some PR impact could really help in money recruit for the team.

Re: Israeli Basketball
What does everyone think of the national Israeli team in the Eurobasket 2009. This Israeli team could really surprise a lot of people because they have some go-to-scorers in Halperin and Eliyahu, a good post presence in Green, and hopefully a rising star in Casspi even though it looks like he won't play this year. [URL="http://euroleagueadventures.com/israel-i-believe-you-believe-we-believe/"]Look for Israel to advance at least one round in this tournament[/URL] and possibly shock Croatia in it's first game.

Re: Israeli Basketball
The off court antics of israeli basketball continues. Pini Gershon refused to leave the court in an exhibition game against the Knicks. Maccabi is not a good team this year but if my team outcome was predetermined by the officiating, I would make a statement too. Best line was "I don't work for the nba"
Moshe Fanan committed suicide, it's another sad story of an athlete with nothing but his sport. There are way too many sad stories of athletes being dumb ex-jocks because they had no identity outside of basketball, football, soccer....
