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. 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 six when 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 muslim 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 after plagued lebanon 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 ninety's and to fancy the end. of. the end up. watching. the bottoms up the. his big rival was it the al hackney captain elaine shannon duff the two former captains now reflect 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 for russia sneeze. into the mob as he sets out but not the other mob . hiatt there daily he could look on a father knievel to do it all now while they are back in a godly won't 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. with elections along with other big names like fag. who still playing today.

of it would have been a lot of. what there's a. bizarre vision. well i missed to see a law i'm allowed by the way. as well for the level of fear visibility illusion i wish the those are as well because i was up with i'm a lawyer. 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 at the n.b.a. and what it in i'm seeing a bit like him who we eventually there lanie naming but would be young was that would hang. one hundred houses c.c.

by the tightest margin at eighty two points to. the captain was aware. of where the first thought of the politics of food getting a lot of trouble ok a couple of us thought it was fun but the most moved let me go to the group because that's what you lose. at it but he did a good job of. either kids elected him boy eleven nor the one wish he had a kid lived many years can hear the the. clown a few daily. to look in it they live in norway and she bust the money on them given and when i moved to the new show it was i mean enough. that they can queue

handle for the who have been let me in and inches it is that 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 algerian club dad. and mo out within it if you know that you know three what they mean almost nothing to what he deployed then with his argument that he is more than any of you up that are you that of many others that's not. what is it. that. this was the first international trophy for the christian supported and helped me it's captain fantastic and their founder on twenty twentieth's.

and then letting. evening. meal while. the. afghan. fathers. of follow me is how long i think my neck. of the funny it's on their 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. in the final eighty four to seventeen. who. know how to play if you want to you out of the uk you were shouting at them i wasn't there. but i think there's. one that is. very. much. in the middle. oh well hell of any medium limited.

only what the heck you know i can. never guess as a lot of alchemy when i built truthfully i didn't. get it. really. how would. you sum of money only. that about the city figure who was kind of with us going it all about the wind isn't going under. and we also want to feel better champions cup the next year in two thousand and ten again in two thousand and four. the measure. big enough. to limit her. fan.

won't. move out of the me. but that kind of thing to me bill a is a thing and then. you're back to back. it's name on it is. only one valid bother we will have a bill which will be somewhere i will be sure have you heard of the matter is the net about to be a little game because the bell division. and the been shut down because. for all but their last big dear little bit just so yeah sure so young talent should be. some had. has done us a lot i mean i'm as a little bit. moderate and any one fan is

the margin of a little professional going to cook. can't think the amount of him as a lay up a couple for the lock up for cutler no wonder. the third one in the bin if more than on. the instant in. as well. as a week of his savvy year to play in. the bad luck in the match then a lot of. but after the two biggest clubs had reached such heights a shift began to occur in lebanese basketball. it seems to have been a combination of different factors. one funding onto our 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 acme's enjoy a cup win show that figures within the sport had strong political affiliations. some argue that basketball gradually became a tool in the hands of political parties causing players and finance fears and even fans to withdraw and. their money i should feel. it all over that was so what. exposure to lives. must have thought to unlucky but then it didn't feel that gays that somehow love. it.

and it wasn't until i was out. nor. about the issue. with someone who are. aware labby. of. as i. had been. on twelve months. 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 or . then even the city maybe make the see man who is in need if you meet on the medium of the seams you need to come see i'm going to be for the moment the lobby

and even before them. an additional. you must not even the len it easy one has said no no come in and observe. how or. why they are. so. how will it look here that. there was no more buffy coming is the movie you can drop out of the normal book of. life and a lot of i love enough to. be a baby enough to know it. had a shelley but i said i had been in. such power and influence on twenty eight in the early two thousand in the sport and across the media that his withdrawal from that had me 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 construction of the acme club seems clear. but he would not be the first sports finance here to come up against entrenched club. 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 he was stuck. what had been my area. but over the years i don't have a durbar. good she ought to have a good part of it in my book mamma the public men cannot muster but i did if somebody or. it was. from a neighbor billion of anonymously. by lobby i'm trying to. either let a leader in the world get misplaced that is. it with the comment this makes you to be

little solution. lawson pulls you from a small foot up on the trunk they want to force hallucinate while something. and some of. the little bunny i will stand for a thorn but at the. mirage here on the yellow you at the bottom and actually there as well as your c.s.e. or your bubble. like in the upper one the c.s. that they. were bought then none. of the other from

a well at all if that. include for the bother what. a serious. 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 never the bottom of the food police i did you know that they have no problem the point of what i have done a feminine to follow the law but it all done which in effect i shall not just am i listen and shut up for someone about my own you are clueless i'm not going to cut it with a then i let me on the on the john had to fall off a lot to catch up. has

succeeded in securing viable funny but the constant trying to race with attack me as. they continue to win trophies after his decline but when they want to leave in two thousand and six their captain was no longer living. on the thing. being public may not know something they will saletan something cason mother doesn't know while on your phone like it they come the material thing happened last night i can't. find a. dental comes out little it's a. home without the name that it could out sunday oh ballad leave all. that kind of last sell out if. there. was some other than would

set out at the end. of the day i live there but at the could be. but at. eighteen chen taffeta now runs a national resort and is not active you can evolve and acme at the moment. he's critical of the increasing involvement of political parties in the club he stays. away with a lump sum of the useful to know he needed to take me america's at the ease be a teeny sound this year the billion i'm a bit on my lawyer door to be

a new visit overnight but i've been lightly and just near there carlos and in town . we found on the budget i mean i'm in the final four weekend had the c's abolished it and i'll suddenly about two. and i can have a fee. bella damn c.s. ability you know not a lot but. you didn't like me make one and if she is him up his book but you know as a fifth of c.s. hemo we. well i don't know how in the nominal we could be nearly cool. with that many other obstacles he is the other. one i'm a. fan and i know you're on with oliver thomas. on the other hand while. on. nor.

would even get the flick of a bad on and. on it because she. is an ex take me on in. is why they're not at the moment and the hunt to see is excited. and. a way to. go until. our new sort of congress leaves. office and of have been. if with the middle of the mission 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 i'm in the us in the you know most in the. be lenient and. leave. us isn't a mother is legally old it is and when your mother is needed me i'm a. good listener will national. on venus on each song you know you are my. what. never are they understand it then you move them all and i see a simplified because she. believed. that only about twenty diageo she said she can and must the two animal would have done. in or.

nine to one it did not resolve the incredibly complex politics and sectarianism that have continued to develop since. so the fortunes of the country's most successful sport really reflect events cost 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 corinthian. seems more fanciful today than ever.
