The Sports Rabbi in The Jerusalem Post features an Interview Preview with Deni Avdija! \u201cDENI AVDIJA READY TO STEP UP FOR BLUE-AND-WHITE\u201d<\/a> – Host Israel looks to repeat as U20 European basketball champion with NBA lottery prospect at the helm!

Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div>
\nAs we head into the Under-20 European Basketball Championships<\/strong>, The Sports Rabbi will have an interview a day with some of the players on the team. Today Yotam Hanochi<\/strong> from Hapoel Gilboa\/Galil joins us to talk about the competition and his young career to date:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to be a part of the Under-20 Israel National Team and we\u2019re excited about hosting the European Championship here in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upbringing:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI was born in the north and I began playing basketball when I was 8 years old. I actually started off playing soccer and I was a goalkeeper but the director of the basketball department saw me and that was the end of my soccer career. He saw my potential as I was tall and from the first practice I was off and running.\u201d
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nRole models:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI really enjoyed watching Kobe Bryant as a child. His personality and what he brings onto the court was extraordinary. When he won the title two season in a row I was in awe. Today, I am super impressed with Kawhi Leonard and the way he carries himself as well as how he plays on both sides of the court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recovering from injury:<\/strong>
\n\u201cI tore by ACL and MCL a little over a year ago and I underwent surgery last summer to repair it. I recovered well and I feel really good going into the championships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goals:<\/strong>
\n\u201cMy dream is to play at the highest levels whatever that may be, the NBA, Euroleague. I am always striving to be the best that I can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

About coach Halachmi:<\/strong>
\n\u201cCoach Ariel Beit Halachmi is first and foremost a special person. I played with him for two seasons at Gilboa and I was able to get to know him really well. It\u2019s great to be with him as well with the National Team.\u201d
\n

\"\"<\/a>
