## Resource

In this very special episode of Restart, I had the honor of speaking with Tal Brody — an Israeli legend, an athlete who didn’t just play basketball, but changed the story of Israeli sports and pride forever. We spoke about the unforgettable night of 1977 when Maccabi Tel Aviv shocked the world by beating the Soviet Union’s team in Belgium — a team that was considered unbeatable. Tal shares how this victory was much bigger than a sports moment — it became a symbol of hope, strength, and the Israeli spirit. Tal opens up about the emotions, the atmosphere, and how his famous words, “We are on the map — and we are staying on the map!”, were born from that magical night. This is not just a story about sports — it's a story about Israel, about standing tall, about restarting even when the odds are against you.
