  1. Shame on the reportes have some respect for yourself and Deni at his special moment!! All you goofies jumping all over like it's back home ืจืขื‘ื™ื ืœื›ื•ืชืจื•ืช ืคืฉื•ื˜ ื‘ื™ื–ื™ื•ืŸ

  2. As a blazers fan, Iโ€™m happy heโ€™s an all star but unfortunately when the play-in comes and they focus on his weaknesses, people will question this all star. He always come back to that right hand and certain teams can lock in on that

  9. Translation of the Hebrew part (from 3:15 to 5:15 and from 5:50 to the end) :
    Reporter: Deni, how does it feel to be one of the 24 best players in the world?
    Deni: Itโ€™s amazing. I donโ€™t really have words other than to say I worked very hard for this. Nothing comes easy. I sacrificed a lot over the years, and I hope to stay here, to stay at this level for a long time. Itโ€™s fun to know that itโ€™s possible.
    Reporter: What do you feel youโ€™ve improved in your game this year?
    Deni: I think a lot of things. My game is very versatile. I feel like I impact the game in many ways, even if itโ€™s not by scoring. Thatโ€™s what I like about my game, there are a lot of things Iโ€™m good at and a lot of things I can still sharpen. But I think mainly my aggressiveness is something I improved this year.
    Reporter: Hello Deni, I wanted to ask about the Israeli flag on your jersey. Itโ€™s very exciting for all of usโ€ฆ
    Deni: The flag on the jersey is amazing. Iโ€™m happy to represent the country. Having the flag on my back on the biggest stage in the world really means something very special. Itโ€™s also important for me to mention that I have my fatherโ€™s side too, which is less present, but the Serbian geneโ€ฆ
    Reporter: Yugoslavia?
    Deni: Serbia. Iโ€™m happy to represent both peoples – his people and our people. Itโ€™s truly a great honor.
    Reporter: How did it feel to see your jersey for the first time, with the All-Star logo, your name, and the flag?
    Deni: Itโ€™s crazy. I donโ€™t really have words. Seeing the jersey with my name and the flag is emotional, especially for a player whoโ€™s gone a long way to get here.
    Reporter: What do you want to say to the people in Israel who will wake up in the middle of the night to watch you play?
    Deni: First of all, thank you for waking up and sacrificing your sleep to watch me, I know itโ€™s not easy because Iโ€™m a guy who loves to sleep. I want to say thank you, because many of them voted for me and follow me, and… Iโ€™m playing together with the people of Israel on this court, so itโ€™s fun.

    Reporter: If you could talk to yourself right after you were traded, what would you say?

    Deni: That everything happens for the best. At first I wasnโ€™t the happiest in the world, because at the end of the day Washington was my home. But I ended up in such a great situation, with people who love and embrace me, and I couldnโ€™t have gotten to where I am today without that.

    Reporter: Before you step onto the court, what will you say to yourself?

    Deni: What will I say to myself? I don't think I'll be able to speak!

    Reporter: People are saying this is the greatest achievement ever by an Israeli athlete.

    Deni: Theyโ€™re focusing on things that donโ€™t need to be focused on. I feel like everyone achieved incredible things in their fields – we have athletes in our country whoโ€™ve done amazing things. Thereโ€™s no need to compare. I think itโ€™s just a big achievement.

    Reporter: What are the plans going forward?

    Deni: The plans going forward are to stay at this level, keep working hard, keep improving, and enjoy more moments like this.

  10. Not enough phones in the frame, we need more!!
    As a cameraman there is nothing more frustrating than setting up your frame only to have a bunch of reporters stick their phones in front of your camera with no regard to anyone else!!

  13. Ban cam phones. Use a shared feed itโ€™s 2026 already. Guyโ€™s a star and we see mostly hairy hands holding a damn phone.
