. often at the magic scenes in the final of the nevins basketball championship in twenty fourteen between the end and technique are to some extent typical of the root of the sport has taken since the early ninety's and. they also reflect sectarian and political developments in this turbulent country and the post civil war era up. the rivalries between what where the top two teams in the country reached its peak in the late ninety's and early two thousand and letting these basketball was enjoying its most successful period in terms of popularity funding and playing success.

competition between the players and sectarian tension between fans often resulted in many riots like this in scenes reminiscent of football in europe and south america at their worst. is supported by mussina fans and their rivals at hackney by christians. and some of the problems within the sport may simply be an expression of the sectarian divisions. that afp league let in for decades and which are no closer to being resolved today. the captain of our reality at the height of their success was when he done nothing as a star player in the late nineties and to fancy the end. it was my. washing.

up looks up to. his big rival was it be al hackney captain elaine shannon duff the two former captains now reflects on what made basketball such a force in their playing days on their an amazing on court success on their intense rivalry and on the national and sporting politics which have seen their sport decline and their roles within it changed considerably. over the. other kilauea the can did he fit in a laugh at the a for russia sneeze. into the mob as she sets out but not by the. high at their daily she could look on to follow knievel to do it all now while they're back in a godly moment game what does about that can leave. it there that.

these two men were dominant figures in lebanese basketball for a decade they commanded fanatical support and thousands of fans had their posters on their walls they were there or not oh and messi off their sport. legends along with other big names like fag. who still playing today.

a whole. coming from advertising he attracted sponsors did t.v. deals and while he was involved there was a buzz around the beirut basketball scene. and read all the verses and hackney was the bin root derby and it meant everything especially to the former captain when we do not see the level of the you know that it would appear. to have not been a lot of. what there's a. bizarre vision. well i missed out see a lot by it killing way. this will feel our fear. and i wish the those are as well because the senate was up with our mayor.

and hackneys former president ran in major advertising and media company which was influential not just in lebanon but across the middle east. he invested in several basketball clubs and some estimates say that he put nineteen million dollars into me to create his dream team. to understand the whole phenomenon of letting his basketball you have to go back to nineteen ninety two king and.

make. sense that they're not the same and warmish really. cage's it and how does but you see if you look in the n.b.a. and what it in i'm seeing it became who we eventually there linny gaming but be was that would hang for. one hundred. billion believe me. as a daily aleck and. feel there he made the shady little mini with the bar on the bush deed what the other big daley felina not alone want us the hand of the bull. mockingly mean not a foot of futile then given what we can do we hustle to cissy a lot of basketball and then maybe it's maybe the spirit. but the spirit

world's biggest economies should not affect relations in the long run right up to date those are the headlines it's get back to al-jazeera world now. and i think that i would put it in the burgeoning sport of basketball in lebanon in the late one nine hundred ninety two teams were serious rivals to me and. a nine hundred ninety eight under the media through to the final stages of the champions cup the premier tournaments in asia by god from hong kong by the tightest margin eighty two points to. be kept. away. from that where the first thought of the politics of food. was up front of ok a couple of bottles of fun but the let me go to this little bit because that's doesn't

want you. to think that he was good enough to of. either kids elected him bulletin nor you know one wish he had a kid live many years can hear the the c.e.o. . look in it they live in norway and she bust the money on them give me an animal for the music it was i mean enough. that they can make you have to for the who have been let me in on it is it is it we assumed we would i mean. any nine hundred ninety eight and hackney made their own breakthrough by getting to the final of the arab club championship against the club dad.

and mo out within it if you know that if you don't three what have you done mean almost nothing to what he did the field then with his argument that he is you know more than any of you love that are you that many wanted the son. what is it. that. this was the first international trophy for the christian supported and had me its captain. and their funder on twenty twentieth's. and then letting. thing.

you'll who. laugh again and. others. follow me is how long i think my neck. of the funny it's on your own medicine. then the next year nineteen one thousand nine. or so jess as they're sometimes known because of their maronite christian connection went to one better. big one the biggest continental prize the feedback champions cup by beating the chinese club young in the final eighty four in one thousand nine. or suggests as they're

sometimes known because of their maronite christian connection went to one better. big one the biggest continental prize the feedback asia champions cup by beating the chinese club. in the final eighty four to seven thousand. people. who watch the sugar. somehow decided she wanted a year out of the uk there were fifty of them i wasn't there. but there's. one that is weird. in the middle of the us i was like angry all the. while hella funny made in the

middle. funny millionaire but i guess us has a lot of alchemy on our bill through sally. chantilly. now when i get there about thirty some odd not only. about that about the city figure who was kind of with us going it all about the wind isn't quite under. and we also want to see champions cup the next year two thousand and ten again two thousand and four. the. big enough to do little. fan.

won't. move up to me. but that kind of thing to me bin laden is their thing and enough they've been able to get back to back and fan them on it if it. can only one of a lot of people have a bill with them so where are the big trouble on the part of the matter is the net about to be a little game had a couple divisional been shot at it been shut down because. it was a lot of four zero but they had the. big three a little bit just. a limit. but some had sayed hassan nasrallah i mean i'm has a little bit i decide that my. mates hate me when foreigners be marketable probably think i'm going to cook. then think the amount of him as

a lay up a couple for the lock up for cutler on one of them on the third one in the. more than on. the instant analysis. as well. as a week of a savvy year to play in. the bad luck in the match then a lot of. well. but after the two biggest clubs had reached such heights a shift began to occur in levin's basketball. it seems to have been a combination of different factors. one funding onto one trade he gradually became disenchanted with events off the court increasing sectarianism and party political intervention by two thousand and four he had completely pulled out of me

with effect rippling across the sport. to sectarianism and politics i sound circus's outspoken remarks after i'd hackneys in a cup win show that figures within the sport had strong political affiliations. some argued that basketball gradually became a tool in the hands of political parties causing players and financier's and even fans to withdraw and. their money i should feel. it whatever it was so what. the exposure to. the two unlucky fan but then it didn't feel that gays that somehow love. it. and it wasn't. a war or. no.

but someone who are. of. as i. had been in. on twelve. some of them. assess it must be really how we'll need the e m a c. one mano with the only man to resist on another team you don't talk to. us of the name of the city maybe met the sea man who is in need if you mean maybe medicine is easy to come see i'm going to be for the man of the lobby and even before them that i'm. on the list you and. you must not even

the len it easy one has said no no come in on a visit. how will. that all she thought so. how will it look here that. there was no more buffy coming is the movie you can drop out of the normal book a few. of our lives and a lot of i love enough to. be baby enough to know. what i had to shelley but i said i last had been in. such power and influence on twenty in the early two thousand in the sport and across the media that his withdrawal from acme affected not only the club but the sport as a whole. a look at the offices of the lebanese basketball

federation today which still bears issue eighty's name suggests the bus and dynamism of the early two thousand is no longer their. way to ease frustration with the christian administration of the acme club seems clear. but he would not be the first sports finance here to come up against entrenched club attitudes. like me still play in the lebanese league and command loyal support but they're struggling with debt and their form is inconsistent. you. are the and. and. former captain tough became the manager in twenty seven and then president and his

to revere by today's players like evil stuff. oh and. i'm looking at them with my. butt dollar do you enjoy the month of the bar. good she ought to have a good bargain on the books mamma the public men cannot muster but i did if somebody or. river from a neighboring billion of anonymously or. by lobby i'm trying to. either let a leader in the world give mistrust that i did. it with the comment this material beauty or the amendment i meant one gets is

wrong or at least a bit of news. and an abrasive some of it had to be sure to help a little there are no women. she is special in. i'm limited as about the revolution a little basket miserable year it can all work through your rhythm kumar now i can offer our grass or the having our new. vision their beloved. technically really lovely can she. softly facilities our daughters how to feed. both because.

lawson pulls it from a small foot up on the truth they want to force hallucinate something. and some of. the little danielle will stand for a thorn but at the. bottom and actually that was your c.s.e. or your bubble. like in the upper one the c.s. that they showed the wall then none. of the other from a well at all if that. include

for the bother what. so obvious of the clue you would assume use. of the do or the. i think simply by way of the truth is a love of the lost cause along in verse one of his boots off and you feel. it in my mouth but i never had the muffled police i did you know that they have not dropped the point of what i have done a feminine to follow the law but it all down which in effect i shall have nothing if i listen and shut up like for someone about my own you ought to listen nothing but i felt it was one of them then i let me out that night on the john had to go off alone to cut the.

dog has succeeded in securing viable funding but the constant twyford with me as. they continue to win trophies after his decline but when they won the league in two thousand and six their captain was no longer living. on the highly public not knowing something they will saletan on something cassimatis and i while on your phone like you say come the material thing happened last night i. had to find a couple of some kind of comes out little said how they got their home without the name that it could out sunday oh ballad leave all. that kind of last sell out of. their lives then let some of them with me set out at the. end of the.

political battle that could be. but. he mentioned taffeta now runs a national resort and is not active you can evolve in acme at the moment. he's critical of the increasing involvement of political parties in the club he stays. away. a lot of them useful to know we need to take me because of the ease for could be a teeny sound this year the billion i'm a bit on my lawyer door to be a busy it overnight but i belatedly i'm just near there carlos and in town.

we found on the budget i mean i'm in the final four weekend haggis's abolished and i'll suddenly about. and i can have a fee. but a damn a c.s. ability and you know not a lot but. you didn't like me make one ended up as book but you know as a fifth of c.s. hemo we. could be nearly cool. with that many other obstinacy is the other. one i'm a. fan and i know you're on was almost. on the other hand while. on. nor. about would even get the flick of a bad on an. on it because she. is an ex

like me on in. the is whether or not the hunt to see is excited. because. i had to handle sikkim know. a way to know how it could have been a word ok. until. our new sort of congress leaves. us on of have been. if with. all the vision i think. when you do not he is also critical of the room of party politics in his old club.

he's coached clubs and lower divisions and aspires to be a commentator. as in the you know. in the. she beat me and. leave. us is a. mess isn't a mother is legally old it is and when your mother is needed me i'm a. good listener will national he. was on the view even when he saw the job you know you are my everything was. never on the understand it in the middle of all honesty sympathy because she. believed. that only about. the two and a mafia would have done. in or. button or an account of how

have continued to develop since. so the fortunes of the country's most successful sport really reflect events course the country as a whole. fans and commentators often plead for sport and politics not to mix but in a country like lebanon on that can really feel. more fanciful today than ever.

a bit nice warm sunshine it's still cloudy in tashkent some sort of temperature notice and behind it is still sunny that circulation in northern side a bit of a hint if we've got that going on then that could be some pretty big thunderstorms the whole lot develops as it moves east across the flatlands iraq to west and iran and that green is of course a full cost of rain probably representing big thunderstorms that will tail down through kuwait eastern saudi might reach as far as bahrain or even cut other this is the lower limit south of that federal breeze it's been quite just dusty recently it will carry on in that same vein the cloud tends to fade away come saturday but it doesn't mean it'll be bone dry not just yet southern africa should be seeing the end of its wet season and that's certainly true in the forecast for friday that are all noise and maybe it's still wet.
