A Head Coach in Israel's Third League, Yair Gewirtz is a rising star in the world of Israeli basketball. He has quickly built a reputation as a charismatic, multi-lingual, defensive-minded, player's coach that uses Brad Stevens as inspiration for his coaching style. He also happens to be Ben's first cousin and (possibly) his ticket to being an assistant coach one day 😉. Both are 34 year old basketball junkies who prefer not to talk about the Knicks at the moment. Coach Gewirtz breaks down 2020 lottery pick Deni Avdija's potential, teases about 2 relatively unknown Israeli prospects with NBA upside, discusses Maccabi Tel Aviv's makeup and chances, and predicts this year's NBA Finals matchup (which may surprise you). Also, what's Knick-turned-Jew Amare Stoudemire up to? @7minorless can't wait to have him on again soon!

How the Zenmaster popularized the Triangle Offense.

Bill Simmons got it all wrong about The Worm.

Was Pippen petty? Sure. Did he have a good reason to be? That's debatable.

The Director left out possibly the most historic Michael Jordan accomplishment from the 1984 Olympic games.

David Stern wouldv'e done something about this. Adam Silver better wake up! Oh and tremendous job by Steve Stoute, our new PR guru is hard at work already. Good luck to Leon Rose, it's nice to sorta meet you.

Kawhi is still better than LeBron until proven otherwise on the big stage. Where do Giannis and Luka stand in the MVP power rankings?

CP3 and Embiid proved that they are more respected by their peers that fans and media give them credit for. Reggie Jackson is a great piece to the puzzle, diversifying the Clippers pick and roll options. But they're still one piece away from being unbeatable: a long, defensive-minded, rebounding PF/C who can finish around the rim and use up fouls against Anthony Davis. Tristan Thompson would be perfect for them, but who knows if the Cavs want to move on just yet. The waiver wire will change the fate of both LA teams.

The final days of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons as teammates are upon us. The Warriors took a necessary gamble on Andrew Wiggins and have a likely top-5 pick to boot. James Dolan thinks he has Knicks fans fooled again with the hiring of Leon Rose and Steve Stoute. Brad Stevens has the most weapons. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks aren't getting the credit they deserve. Marcus Morris solidifies the Clippers as the best team in the league. LeBron James lost the "it" factor. Morant will be regarded as the best pick in the 2019 draft over Zion Williamson.

And this was his first day on the job. May God have mercy on our souls.
