2012 is the year of glory<\/B>. On the brink of celebrating the 80th<\/SUP> anniversary of the founding of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Club, the club held a thrilling opening ceremony for its new Hall of Fame, called the Hall of the Maccabim. The ceremony, which was hosted by Maccabi\u2019s famed former announcer Rafi Ginat, celebrated the induction of some of the legendary team captains in the club\u2019s history: Tal Brody, Doron Jamchy, Nadav Henefeld, Mickey Berkowitz, and Gur Shelef.<\/FONT> <\/P>

Wait a second\u2026isn\u2019t someone missing? Of course! We can\u2019t leave out Derrick Sharp, who retired after the last season (his fifteenth with the club) and has become an assistant coach for Maccabi. Not only was there a special highlight film of Derrick\u2019s days on the court, but he got a special surprise in the person of his good friend and former teammate, the fabled star Nikola Vuj\u010di\u0107, who flew in from Croatia especially to honor Derrick.<\/FONT> <\/P>

Before each home Euroleague game this season, Maccabi will honor the club\u2019s greatest players, coaches, and staff \u2013 the people who, throughout its history, have transformed the club into an empire. Every inductee into the Hall of Fame will receive a special plaque and a gold ring adorned with a diamond and engraved with the player\u2019s name and jersey number.<\/FONT><\/P>
