Maccabi!
Tonight will be the final game of the European league final four, Maccabi Tel Aviv Vs. CSKA Moscow.
I'm not a big sports fan, but my father and brother got me into the European basketball league, espacially since we won two years straight, and now maybe for the third time?
Maccabi's stars are Will Solomon, Anthony Parker and Derrick Sharp. Occasionally they let an Israeli play. But all European teams are mixed like that, Americans, East Europeans and locals playing in the different teams, just like the NBA.
Europe's big on soccer, basketball isn't as popular. Countries that have a strong soccer league usually don't have good basketball teams, like Germany, France and the U.K. The only exception is Spain, that has 2 very strong teams (made it to the 3rd and 4th places this year).
I wish more people knew that kind of stuff about Israel, and not just the war-terrorism-things blowing up stuff. Anyways, wish us luck!
