The Israeli basketball team Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Skipper Bologna over the weekend to win the European Premiere League championship. Nice to see Jews triumphing over the totality of Europe for once, instead of the other way around.
Speaking of which, here's a profile of my old friend Ron Garber, who played basketball professionally in Israel for a year after walking on at Michigan. And, because of that pesky little payoff scandal that caused two years of forfeits, Ron technically won more games as a Wolverine than Chris Webber did.
