Nachum had the pleasure of hosting former Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball star Derek Sharp on this morning’s JM in the AM to discuss his time playing basketball in Israel and to preview the upcoming game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Italian team, Armani Milano at Madison Square Garden on October 4. “Maccabi Tel Aviv returns to Madison Square Garden on October 4th! The Israeli-European powerhouse will play its Italian rivals, EA7 Armani Milano, for the first Euro Classic games on American soil. The game will present an opportunity to celebrate Israel, Italy and Euro pro basketball. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Milan enjoy one of Europe’s most enduring rivalries. In 2014, Maccabi dramatically defeated Milan in a best-of-five playoff series to advance to the Final Four and eventually win the Euroleague title.” Click here to purchase tickets.
