Maccabi Tel Aviv, Israel's top basketball team, recently signed (former Chicago Bull) Marcus Fizer to a contract. Fizer spent last year playing in Spain, and will in the coming years, if he can stay out of trouble, play in Israel.

Fizer, in a "dis" to Tel Aviv, while claiming his colorful past is behind him, said, "in Israel I will do everything I can to live outside the Tel Aviv area, because quiet and peacefulness are very important to me."

Take that Tel Aviv! You are too busy for the likes of Marcus Fizer! You really must be "the city that doesn't sleep!"
