My back court mate came to visit me 2day. I thank God 4 bringing Doron Sheffer in my life. He made me a better person

Glad to see Doron is out of Israel at the moment.

Doron's number should be on the Wall.

Did anyone throw the 3/4 court lob to a breaking Husky better than Doron? Loved his game, what a thinker and coach on the court………he and Nadav were 2 of the smartest basketball players to don the uni…..amazing coming from Israel the basketball sense they had. I guess at the time there was some great programs out there I don't know but both guys so fun to watch without being great athletic specimens in any way.

We were in line to get next great Israli(reported to be even better than Dove and Doron) PG Oded Kattash, but then I believe he changed his mind and wanted to go somewhere different than Dove and Doron . I am pretty sure he was looking into Miami and Seton Hall. He ended up never playing in college.

Was supposed to join the Knicks in 1998 but it never happened due to the NBA lockout.

Don't think he's anywhere near a city though. I thought I heard he had some Zen all natural spiritual farm thing going in the hills .

Yeah, based on the article he is about as far away from Gaza as is humanly possible, while still being in Israel.

Ahhh, thanks. It might have come from that article. I probably read it a long time ago.

Yeah, but there aren't really any hamas anywhere near where Sheffer is located.

Rumor on the first meeting was that Doron was waiting outside the building entrance. Ollie was walking towards him and when Doron extended his hand out Ollie slapped a twenty in his hand and told him to go ten toes in for a meal.....

Yeah, no one threw the two handed three quarter chest pass better than Doran.

I don't know if my memory is warped on this, but I loosely remember a game against St. Johns where Sheffer decided to make Felipe Lopez into his personal beatch, and did so very effectively. My memory is 20ish points on like 75% shooting. I can't find the box score though.

I'm sure many here remember the significance of that pic.

UConn beat GTown at GTown on a weekend game. That pic was taken in the final seconds. When the polls came out on Monday, UConn was ranked number 1 for the first time in school history. The women were also ranked number 1.

Doron has impeccable style, I'm more curious as to why KO is flexing
