Euroleague game victory
Many around here in Israel seem excited over the Israeli team winning on the Euroleague games. You can catch screaming people, and people babbling without control. There are numerous celebrations on the streets and in community centres. Heck, one of my mother’s client set an appointment with her, and forgot to even call and say he won’t be arriving…
All because a group of our highly paid muscled guys turned out to be marginally more successful than a group of someone else’s (Spain?) highly paid muscled guys, at throwing balls through hoops. Truly fantastic. Of all the things we need in this country, being the best at throwing balls short distances through hoops, is certainly at the top of the list. Along with bouncing same balls on the floor while running, of course.
Sorry, did I say our guys? I meant our, as in the ones we hire and pay for, not that they are Israelis. From what I was told, about half of them are foreign contracts. So the victory, the exciting point, is that some Israeli coach was able to assemble a team of people from all over the world, that was able to shoot balls through hoops better than a team that some Spanish coach was able to assemble…. Do you get the sense that maybe I don’t quite feel the full impact of the gravitas of the situation?
