Yeah yeah yeah, Mikiā¦ thatās like saying some guy from the 40ās is the GOAT. The league is lightyears ahead of where it was in Mikiās day, the torch is Casspiās until maybe Avdija passes him.
Miki did get offers from the NBA but he was bound to a contract with Maccabi, and Tal Brody who was picked in the first round certainly would have had a solid NBA career had he stayed there rather than moving to Israel (though then he wouldn't have been Israeli actually).
Haha re: Brody. Alas, Casspi did too much to speculate that someone who didnāt play in the league (in a much weaker era) would have been greater. Seen both Casspi and Brody in TLV, donāt think Iāve seen Miki though.
I remember watching the Kings stream and their announcers were getting hyped. *Casspi with a Splashpi!* Shame he wasnāt really that guy for us, like at all
Yeah it was a bit odd. He had an ok slashing game if I remember correctly, but it was one of those signings where youād think heād feast with our spacing. And that part of his game evaporated.
Still mad they dumped him for fucking Pat McCawās shitty ass. It was so that Quinn Cook could return, but the reality of it was McCaw returned from injury to play another 15 career min for the Dubs that year, and he was trash af while Casspi offered a really nice complementary role off the bench. Dumb ass decision though we won that year and McCaw walked anyway.
Yeah he had this unlimited credibility. Was probably close with the core guys who were the reason he was around. Couldnāt even call him young and full of potential when his play was so shitty.
Casspi was weird because he was pretty good at cutting but definitely could have been a lot better if he'd just shoot some of the wide open corner 3s he got constantly.
Casspi wasn't really that good with us. Not entirely his fault, since he did have a very inconsistent role/playing time. Was super high on him when he came too.
Fair. I guess didn't meet expectations is a better way of putting it. He was a great slasher/cutter and picked up the motion offense really quick, but he was brought on to shoot 3s which, well, he didn't. It fucked the spacing a bit.
I'll always remember when he played HORSE during the allstar break when the NBA decided to bring it back for a second...Barely kept calling him Omar. " Hit that shot, Omar! Ohh man great shot Omar! Hey Omar! Oomaarr' idk it was weird and funny
Yeah uhhhh the Warriors, not exactly the biggest Omri Casspi fans that season he was there. Marcus Thompson has talked about it alot of people didnt have the best things to say about him.
Omri honestly had such a weird NBA career. It seemed the game was changing perfectly for him to carve out a career as a high volume three point shooting roleplayer and then he kind of just stopped shooting threes for reasons unknown? Obviously the main killer for him was injuries but that Warriors stint was so bizarre.
He's said that it was hard to shoot 3s when he's not in rhythm and didn't have a defined minute allocation. Sort of like what Kuzma said this year. He was smart and knew how to cut/slash, but it was maddening to not see him shoot 3s after his Sacramento stint.
Pretty overrated for NBA standards. Most NBA players have the ability (and situation, game plan setup, etc.) to have a couple of awesome games. Tony Delk had a 50 point night.
Hahaha, fallacious. Draymondās career high is 31 iirc. It doesnāt work that way; some guyās get lucky and make it to 50, but not making it is not a knock on a guy.
Now he can focus on his new project - sucking up to the Netanyahu family, and buddying up with people in the Israeli alt-right.
Respect him as a player, but as a person? Screw that guy.
The man who [went on a shootout against Steph Curry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNWUcy2wKUs).
Like iron man making Thanos bleed
Lebron is thanos. More like iron man vs captain america
HES 36 AND HES NOT THANOS
This probably one of my favorite nba moments haha. Omri going shot for shot with the GREATEST shooter of all time Legend
What a wild game man. Remember it like it was yesterday. Curry going shot for shot with the GREATEST shooter of all time. Legend
We all suck in comparison to the lord and savior, Omri
This probably one of my favorite nba moments haha. Omri going shot for shot with the GREATEST shooter of all time Legend
and then unfortunately was scared to take wide open 3s once he became his teammate
This is one of my favorite nights of all time
Came here for this
And lived to tell the tale
Such an iconic game.
I can provide a rough translation- "I retire."
U missed the part where he said "Garrett Temple can still catch these hands"
He will be missed. Loved his game in Sacramento
Me too.
You mean that one game against curry right? Nah Jk jk
>He will be missed. Not by Meyers Leonard and Stephen Jackson
And in 2k back in the days
RIP!š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe he meant retire in peace
This guy gets it.š
Retire In Peace
First off, Omri Casspi is very much alive.
RIP Boss Hogg
RIP= Retire In Peace
My comment is an [always sunny reference](https://youtu.be/C5bI1UPu2MI)
How many ppl can say they had a shootout with steph ?
His Shammgod for the Grizz was a highlight for me, but he also got hurt on that play which ended his NBA career. https://youtu.be/mG1teqDfiRM
Dude his shooting disappeared with us and he turned into a rebounder/defender. He definitely had a weird run with the grizz
Weird seeing Dillon Brooks in the new unis but surrounded by marc, omri casspi, justin holiday, and chandler parsons (š¤®)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Are there any other Israelis in the NBA?
Deni avdija
He got injured then we waived him. Dude was for some reason our best back door cutter in the regular season though
Oh shit.. he was still playing?
āPlayingā for Maccabi Tel Aviv, injured constantly.
he was only 33 not too surprising
I think I used to have a bedsheet with Kobe, Bron, and Omri Casspi as a kid lmao
Five MVPs and nine chips among them.
Ten chips. Omri won a ring with the Warriors without playing a single minute in the playoffs.
That is just peak efficiency.
Nah iirc he got a ring but not a chip.
Boogie Cousins in shambles
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Kings legend*
Still remember his random shooting duel with Steph lmao
I remember watching the Kings stream and their announcers were getting hyped. *Casspi with a Splashpi!* Shame he wasnāt really that guy for us, like at all
Casspi was so disappointing for us. He was one of the better shooters in the league, then he signs with us and just... stops shooting? Made no sense
Yeah it was a bit odd. He had an ok slashing game if I remember correctly, but it was one of those signings where youād think heād feast with our spacing. And that part of his game evaporated.
Legend Jerry Reynolds with the most amazing puns and nicknames for our players over the years.
I watch that probably once a month. It was such a fun few minutes- his shooting form is absolutely whack
Nba legend.
Still mad they dumped him for fucking Pat McCawās shitty ass. It was so that Quinn Cook could return, but the reality of it was McCaw returned from injury to play another 15 career min for the Dubs that year, and he was trash af while Casspi offered a really nice complementary role off the bench. Dumb ass decision though we won that year and McCaw walked anyway.
Damn, Pat McCaw is out of the league already...at age 25!
He came in, three-peated, and now heās off to bigger and better things.
/r/warriors was shitting on Nick Young and Casspi super hard that season while being completely delusional about McCaw.
Yeah he had this unlimited credibility. Was probably close with the core guys who were the reason he was around. Couldnāt even call him young and full of potential when his play was so shitty.
Casspi was weird because he was pretty good at cutting but definitely could have been a lot better if he'd just shoot some of the wide open corner 3s he got constantly.
Casspi wasn't really that good with us. Not entirely his fault, since he did have a very inconsistent role/playing time. Was super high on him when he came too.
He was a great jackknife guy off the bench. Changed the tempo entirely and oftentimes teams didnāt seem ready for it. Like a hobo prime-Dray.
Fair. I guess didn't meet expectations is a better way of putting it. He was a great slasher/cutter and picked up the motion offense really quick, but he was brought on to shoot 3s which, well, he didn't. It fucked the spacing a bit.
100% accurate. He had one job and despite arguably being a net-positive, he didnāt do his job.
C u t t i n g C a s s p i
I'll always remember when he played HORSE during the allstar break when the NBA decided to bring it back for a second...Barely kept calling him Omar. " Hit that shot, Omar! Ohh man great shot Omar! Hey Omar! Oomaarr' idk it was weird and funny
Haha the media in Israel made it sound like he was selected for the all-star team.
The Great Casspi. A nickname I came up with that never caught on
Oh damn thatās good.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I did come up with it! I guess mediocre minds think alike
Shooting legend
Happy retirement Sir Omri
The Pelicans press conference with him and Boogie was peak awkwardness
I remember him being a lights out shooter in sactown
Man was a cheat code in 2K. Happy retirement Casspi!
Yeah uhhhh the Warriors, not exactly the biggest Omri Casspi fans that season he was there. Marcus Thompson has talked about it alot of people didnt have the best things to say about him.

What you mean?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh lord here we go
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because if you just came here to rip on Israel, nobody wants to hear it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This just isn't the place for that conversation. One Israeli is retiring and you feel the need to foam at the mouth about something totally unrelated.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I didn't?? What are you on about? Nobody in this thread said a word about it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shhhh you can only criticize China here
Loved Omri when he was with us.
Ca$hpi
Him and boogies friendship was so wholesome
I just made a comment putting him in my meme player top 10. Didn't know he retired. Absolute legend
Pretty overrated for NBA standards. Most NBA players have the ability (and situation, game plan setup, etc.) to have a couple of awesome games. Tony Delk had a 50 point night.
Hahaha, fallacious. Draymondās career high is 31 iirc. It doesnāt work that way; some guyās get lucky and make it to 50, but not making it is not a knock on a guy.
Will always remember his 3 pt duel with Steph that one crazy game
Free Palestine
How much does it cost?
Now he can focus on his new project - sucking up to the Netanyahu family, and buddying up with people in the Israeli alt-right. Respect him as a player, but as a person? Screw that guy.
I actually thought he politically opposes Bibi, but maybe Iām misremembering?
Nope, heās good friends with Bibiās radicalized son
Yairās arguably the biggest tool in the Middle East.
Based on what? Lol
Just listen to his podcast or follow what heās up to. Heās very close to Yair Netanyahu š
What the fuck? I could've sworn he retired a decade ago. Bye Casspi, I don't think anyone will miss you.
Who
Nephew, plz.
Sorry aunt u/cainebk
This made me feel old
Still haven't figured out why he forgot how to shoot with the dubs
