Host Laragh Widdess tells this week’s weird and wonderful sports stories from Israel and around the world, and picks a ‘team of the week’ that did something a little bit special.

In Israel: Hapoel Tel Aviv became the first Premier League soccer club to be run by its fans; Beitar Jerusalem FC is suffering from ’empty stadium’ syndrome; Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball is going through a lethargic phase; Israel’s Olympic hopefuls get to Rio a year-and-a-half early.

Further afield: The giant-killers, Bradford City, are at it again; David Blatt’s Cleveland Cavaliers get stomped on by the Chicago Bulls; the highest-scoring NBA all-star game in history was a romp for LeBron James; and why European soccer wouldn’t benefit from an all-star game.
