The perfect role model of what hard work, drive and desire can accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>The big man played the entire Final Four with a partial cast to protect a hand injury and then had to wear a wrap around his head after having incurred a laceration just minutes into the semifinal. The captain made sure that nothing would stand in his way to hoist the championship trophy high in the air to the delight of the fans. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t describe the emotional feelings that are going through me,\u201d he said immediately after the victory. \u201cIt\u2019s an unbelievable feeling, it\u2019s insane.

Very quickly the 6\u20196 power forward joined the Maccabi Rishon Le\u2019Zion youth teams but then moved to Nes Ziona in 2008 and helped the club move up to the first division just a few years after.<\/p>\n<p>Together with head coach Nadav Zilberstein, Dunne was surrounded by the late Tyler Honeycutt, Cory Carr and Preston Knowles in the club\u2019s first year in the Premier League while former NBA 3-point Champion Daequan Cook was the team\u2019s anchor during the first few campaigns in the FIBA Europe Cup. <\/p>\n<p>After more than half a decade in charge of Nes Ziona, Zilberstein was replaced on the sidelines by Brad Greenberg who along with general manager Meir Tapiro, put together a team for this campaign that looked like it could do some damage on paper. However, in reality they had a miserable start going 1-5 out of the gate in the Israeli domestic league which meant changes needed to be made and made swiftly.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_28339\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28339\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tal Dunne &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nOut went three of the four foreigners and in came Braian Angola, Jerome Meyinsse and Wayne Selden in their places right around the international break in November.

Perhaps this is a sign to come for the club.<\/p>\n<p>However, right now Dunne will head for surgery as his domestic season will come to an end. But as modest as ever, he didn\u2019t want to be seen as a hero, \u201cI played injured and after this game my season is over as I will have surgery. I received permission from the doctor to play and there was no way I was going to sit on the sidelines in jeans and clap my hands. This in my mind was never an option. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to show the children of Nes Ziona that they should be proud, but I am no hero. Everyone called me a hero but I am just a basketball player. The real hero is this child who helped me lift the trophy. He had a deadly form of cancer a year ago and he is the true winner after being cured. My message to everyone out there is: Never give up, follow your dreams and do everything to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nes Ziona are European Champions.
