Why Europe Rocks: Reason #12

The Wide World of Sports

Luc and I were flipping through the chanels a few days ago when a familiar, yet out of place, scene popped up: BASKETBALL. But instead of it being, like the Illini vs the Hawks, it was Tel Aviv vs. Pireus (Greece). Everything seemed about the same, except for all the ads being in Hebrew...and the last names (like Solomon and Tzsakikii or something like that...but there was also a Lewis and a Green). And the cheerleaders wore cocktail dresses and danced to some discotheque music at halftime.

The Tel Aviv Maccabi won, 77-74.
