Here's the link, pretty good list here, takes Casspi too in an interview with Elie Seckbach

Awwww yeah OMAR CASSPI BABY. His name isn't overly difficult, how come nobody knows how to spell or say it right?

irony=painful
Omri Casspi

Its how the reporter said it in the video. I should have added more i's and r's for effect.

I wonder how many people from Israel actually have the name OMAR? LOL

He won some points with the respect for Tyreke but lost all of em with the Omar Casspi.

There are 1.2 millions Muslems living inside the 67 border line of Israel, and few other millions on Ghazza and the west bank.

That's a fine factoid, but I am Jewish and I have NEVER met a Jew in my life named Omar!

It's a fact, not a factoid, and he was talking about people from Israel, not necessarily jews.

Easy guys! No need to get all worked up over a simple mistake.

It's great that both Evans and Casspi are getting the respect and recognition they both absolutely deserve. Brockman has been making some noise too. Let's enjoy it!

I'm not worked up just clarifying a point about the place I live in.

espn.com has new rookie rankings out and says there is a new number 1! Idk who it could be, they make it look like its omri.

I love how Elie Seckbach runs to the defense of fellow Israelite Omri Casspi.

I also love seeing all the versions of Casspi's name that have popped up.

They lose all credibility for the list because Omri isn't the best rookie. He's the one playing the best right now.

I feel sorry for Kings moderators here on RealGM. Having Casspi simply on our team is going to cause all sorts of frivolous political discussion, let alone the fact that Casspi is very vocal and proud of his nationality.

The discussion in this thread wasn't frivolous, it was a correction of a very common misinformation, more importantly it wasn't even political, seeing the name of Israel in a discussion shouldn't always make your butt clinch, I don't know why you felt you had to make this comment.
