Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv announced this Sunday the signing of Cuban basketball player Jasiel Rivero.
The habanero thus ends a four-year journey through the Spanish ABC League, which led him to successfully wear the Hereda San Pablo Burgos and Valencia Basket jerseys.
The new club of the Cuban power forward is listed as champion of the Israeli Basketball Super League (BSL) and has 53 titles, the most successful in the Hebrew country.
In addition to the titles in the so-called Winner League, as the Israeli championship is also known, Maccabi has six champion trophies in the Euroleague of this sport.
Although the blues and yellows have not won the continental tournament since 2014, they will guarantee Rivero to play in the strong tournament of the Old Continent next season.
The Cuban, 29 years old and 2.06 meters tall, will meet again with James Webb III, his teammate from Valencia Basket. He will also fight for a spot on the court with the likes of Josh Nebo, Roman Sorkin and Jake Cohen. Without a doubt, there is an overcrowding in the positions of four and five, in which Rivero performs.
“I am super happy and excited about this opportunity. We want to achieve many successes with this great project. I can’t wait to get there and join this family.”said Rivero through the profiles of Tel Aviv on social networks on the Internet.
