After Meir Tapiro retired the most veteran crown moves to Ido "Concrete Wall" Kozikaro. The massive inside player hasn't missed a single EuroBasket in the new millennium and is considered one of the most important locker-room players on the team, regardless of his toughness and great strength he adds on court. In the Israeli league he continues to be a force in the paints and now he carries on his wide shoulders a lot of experience that might turn out very beneficial for the team. Kozikaro will push, shove, fight and hustle for every point and rebound. If you want to show some fans what hard work and passion can do, focus their eyes on the Israeli big.
