A Referee, Nate Robinson And A Rabbi Walk Into MSG...
↵The Knicks hosted Euroleague team Maccabi Tel Aviv on Sunday for a benefit for an orphanage. Of course, that doesn’t mean the game wasn’t competitive and tempers weren’t flaring, just ask Tel Aviv’s coach Pini Gershon who refused to leave the court after he was ejected. Things got so heated and confusing that a rabbi on hand had to step in to broker the peace deal:
↵↵Sometime during the 10-minute discussion in front of the visitors’ bench, Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, with a long white beard, a black hat and a black coat, crossed the court from his seat to intervene.
↵“This is not a regular game,” Grossman said he told the officials. “In a game for friendship, you forgive.”↵Think of all the headaches the Knicks could have avoided if they’d had Grossman on hand as the Team Rabbi during the Isiah Thomas years.
