10 years have passed since what Maccabi Tel Aviv fans call the Zalgiris Miracle. Possibly the greatest game in European basketball history. Maccabi Tel Aviv was set to host Zalgiris Kovna, featuring the giant, Arvidas Sabonis, one of the greatest players in European Basketball history, in a must win game for both. The loser would go home. The winner would go to the final four tournament. Sabonis would retire at the end of the season, so this marked his last game. Maccabi was set to host the final four tournament that year, so a loss would be particularly painful. Maccabi, featuring amazing players like Derrick L Sharp, Anthony Parker, Maceo Baston, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Nikola Vujcic and Gur Shelef went on to win the Final Four games and go down in history as one of the greatest teams to play European basketball. If youre a basketball fan, take ten minutes and watch this video. Honestly, I still get emotional thinking of that day. youtube/watch?v=T44ijSraSlY
