Mazel tov!
stu is jewish? that's news to me. as a follower of jewish athletes, i wish i had known.
Who else do you follow?
Like Josh Bartelstein's dad?
I thought you believed in only one God? Shouldn't you follow Him and not Jewish athletes?
Who Knew? Nu?
Jew Douglas! Inappropriate?
Worse?
Better
After my sophomore year at Michigan, I played on the USA team in the 1953 Maccabiah games (the first held after israel became a state). I hope Stu enjoyed his time there as much as I did. We won the championship game against Israel, in a very low scoring game, with a tap-in at the buzzer. We had a couple of college stars on our team, but most of us were just fair to middling players
Don't you mean thunderous, explosive, rim-rattling dunk to describe your buzzer-beater?!
Cool story, though. Congrats to Stu for representin'. Congrats to you for representin' a few decades ago!
but I'm not sure Stu is Jewish. It looks like Stu is playing in the Israeli basketball league now, and I'm pretty sure each team is allowed to have a certain number athletes that are in a professionial Israeli sports league but aren't Jewish.
