New installment of Inside Israeli Basketball airs

In the fifth episode of Inside Israeli Basketball, Maccabi Haifa forward Richard Roby, the all-time leading scorer at the University of Colorado and the half-brother to the NBA’s Denver Nuggets power-forward Kenyon Martin, takes a trip to the Haifa Zoo.

Inside Israeli Basketball focuses on the Maccabi Haifa basketball team, which is currently 11-5 and tied for second place in the Israeli Basketball Super League.  The episode includes a segment on last season’s MVP of the Puerto Rican League, Jesse Pellot-Rosa, who takes his teammates out for a paintballing session in Haifa.

The program airs Wednesday, March 10, at 5 p.m. ET on Comcast Versus; Thursday, March 11, at 8 p.m. ET on JLTV; Sunday, March 14, at noon ET (re-airs at 10 p.m. ) on the YES Network; and Tuesday, March 16, at 6:30 pm ET on SUN Sports, with repeat episodes throughout the month.

Maccabi Haifa, owned by Jeffrey Rosen of Aventura, FL , through his Triangle Financial Services firm, was the surprise runner-up in the Israeli Basketball Super League last season.  This year’s team features a number of American players, including Davon Jefferson of Southern California; Todd Golden, a former St. Mary’s College of California product; Jason Rich, a Florida State University standout; Jesse Pellot-Rosa of Virginia Commonwealth; Richard Roby of the University of Colorado; and former San Diego High phenom Jeremy Tyler.

The program is hosted by Israeli actress and model Becky Griffin, and produced on location by Joseph Marc Sports (which produces shows including Yankees Magazine, Nets Magazine, and Inside Rutgers Football).
