Omri Casspi, the Sacramento Kings rookie who is the first Israeli to play in the NBA, has been tearing it up as of late, averaging a respectable 13 points a game (which is bound to rise now that he’s been starting more and more). So it’s not too late to vote him into the NBA All-Star Game, held next month in Dallas. It is, however, too late to start a special Twitter feed devoted specifically to getting Casspi into the game: Yediot Ahronoth’s twitter.com/Casspi4Allstar has already got that beat covered. Check it out!
