After last year´s succesful stint in the ACB league, where he was named “Newcomer of the year” with CB Granada, Richard Hendrix is now mid way his first season with Maccabi Tel Aviv. The US big man has declared that he feels “very happy in Maccabi. I love Tel Aviv and since the beggining my teammates and coach, David Blatt, have given me all their support and confidence. I am enjoying a great basketball and personal experience”. Hendrix, who signed a two year contract with Maccabi stated that “my only intention is to honor this contract. There have been rumors about my departure but there is nothing to it, neither my agents nor me have received any proposal from other teams and the only place where I want to play is Maccabi”.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, stands at the top of the Israeli league standings and is getting ready to compete in the Euroleague´s Top 16, playing in the same group as Regal FC Barcelona, Lottomatica Roma and Union Olimpija Ljubljana. “It is a complicated group but our goal is to keep winning and ultimately play in the Final Four in Barcelona”, Hendrix said.
