Great Work D4! I swear, we have the best internationally aware mix of fans outside maybe the Spurs.
nm, found the article. Roscoe to update the link. Quote:

Ronzone believes Burstein, 26, can find his place in the NBA as a role player. "It's about time there was an Israeli in the league, and I would like to be the one to find him," Ronzone said after last summer's championship in Serbia.

So this is a marketing thing right? Appeal to the jewish community?
If you read that statement on it's own, it sounds like there should be an Israeli because there should be Israelis in the NBA, not because Burstein deserves to play in the NBA. I'm not familiar with him, but NBATV Canada is showing a lot of Euroleague playoffs, now I am inclined to check his game out.
