Pini Gershon
Summary: Charismatic, smart and ambitious, Pini Gershon not only is one of the best European coaches of his time - but he is also a one-of-a-kind character who is always fun to have around. Gershon took Maccabi to a second golden era, winning the SuproLeague title in 2001 and then back-to-back Euroleague trophies in 2004 and 2005. Gershon has also won six Israeli league crowns and six Israeli Cup titles in as many years with Maccabi. Perhaps most remarkably, Gershon also won the Israeli championship with Galil Elyon, the only club other than Maccabi to win since 1967.

WHAT THEY SAY...
Pini Gershon: "First of all I appreciate all the people that voted me. I am very, really excited. It is a big honor to be here, to hear and to see what people think about you when you are alive. Being here is already one of the biggest memories of my career, but to choose one moment in a good career is like choosing among your children."
