When the ex-NBA player was asked why he chose to join the Jerusalem basketball team, he gave an incredible response.

Playing in Israel is a "dream come true," Stoudemire said. Playing for Jerusalem will be a "spiritual journey."

Israeli basketball star Omri Casspi had the best game of his life on Wednesday. He equaled his team record of 9 three-pointers in a game AND set his NBA career high.

Israeli NBA player Omri Casspi will visit Israel this week with seven other NBA players in a tour organized by a foundation Casspi has formed that seeks to fight the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
