Today is Day 25 Netzach sheb’netzah. #Winning #Ringz When you look at the list of NBA players with the most championships, 8 of the top 9 are members of the great Boston Celtic teams of the 1950s and 60s. The 9th is Robert Horry aka “Big Shot Bob.” Besides those Celtics,…

Today is Day 24 of the Omer. Tif’eret sheb’netzach. Within endurance, there is beauty. Andre Miller first came on my radar as the point guard for the University of Utah basketball team, led by Keith Van Horn in 1995. In 1998, with Van Horn gone, he led the Runnin’ Utes to…

Today is Day 21 of the Omer. Malchut sheb’tiferet. Beauty/balance/truth that manifests as Kingship. Jersey numbers are strange. 300 players have worn the #21 in NBA history. Only 26 have worn the #29. Why? I don’t think 29 is that bad of a number. But when it comes to choosing one…

Today is Day 20. Yesod sheb’tiferet. The beautiful pioneer. With the 57th pick from the in the 1999 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs selected an unknown guard from Argentina, Manu Ginóbili. Once Ginóbili made his NBA debut in 2002, it didn’t take long for Manu to make a name for…

Today is Day 19 of the Omer. Hod sheb’tiferet. Compassion that leads to Gratitude. If you know one thing about Knicks great Willis Reed, it’s probably his heroic appearance in Game 7 of the 1970 Finals vs. the Los Angeles Lakers. After suffering a torn thigh muscle in Game 5, his…
