NBA Basketball Star Visits Hebron

The Israel365 “Beauty from Ashes” tour which travels to Poland
and Israel visted Hebron last week. Among the participants was Michael Redd, a former
NBA basketball player with the Milwaukee Bucks. He also played for the United States
Olympic basketball team which won a gold medal in 2008. 


 


Redd visited a school in Kiryat Arba, Hebron’s sister city where played with
local students. At the school Redd stated, “I am enjoying your beautiful nation, and we
are humbled to be here. Basketball has been very good to me. It has literally taken me
all over the world, and the more I travel, I understand that basketball is a universal
language. One of the first things I saw when I came to the nation was a
basketball court, and it really touched me.”
