Thousands of fans enjoyed surprises in the concourse of the arena, including a wheel of fortune game with prizes from the team store, photo magnets, life-size cutouts of the players, and more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-395c6faa-a1a5-759b-e8da-afceeafffafe\">Once inside the arena, the fans got to decide which Maccabi players would be on each team (yellow and blue) and then watch a practice game. The blue team, led by head coach Guy Goodes, included Jeremy Pargo, Guy Pnini, Ben Altit, Brian Randle, Alex Tyus, Sylven Landesberg, and Dragan Bender. The yellows, coached by assistant coach Alon Stein, included Yogev Ohayon, MarQuez Haynes, Nate Linhart, Jake Cohen, Aleks Mari?, Idan Zalmanson, and Joseph Forte. In addition, two lucky fans were chosen at random to play.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-395c6faa-a1a5-759b-e8da-afceeafffafe\">During halftime of the abbreviated game (two ten minute halves) a slam dunk competition was held between Pargo, Haynes, Altit, and Landesberg. Haynes was selected the winner by the non-competing players. The action-packed game (\u201creffed\u201d by Nikola Vuj?i? and Pini Gershon) ended in a 46-46 tie thanks to a last second three pointer by Maccabi captain Guy Pnini. Instead of going into OT, the outcome of the game was decided by a half-court shot competition, with players from each team taking turns attempting the shot. Landesberg was the first to do so, bringing victory to the blue team.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to watch the fabulous event Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv held for the members of the Maccabist Fan Club to kick off the new season.
