NEW YORK, AUGUST 24, 2009 – Former New York Knick Captain, Two Time
All-Star NBA and Olympic Gold Medalist Allan Houston
(www.AllanHouston.com) announced today he plans to visit Israel this
week. Allan and his wife Tamara will  participate in a JCRC visit,
flying El Al Airlines and highlights will include government briefings,
sightseeing and a basketball clinic in Sderot.

A delegation of community and political leaders from New York will visit
from August 25 — 31, 2009 to explore first-hand the current situation
in Israel, as it strives to achieve a lasting peace and provide security
for its citizenry.

“I am pleased to visit Israel on a solidarity mission and look forward
to visiting the sites I have read so much about in the Bible,” said
Houston.

    I love Allan, and I could be wrong about what I’m gonna say, but I don’t think this is about a scouting trip. I’m gonna go out on a small limb and say that this probably is more related to Allan’s born-again Christian faith. He thinks he’s gonna see where Jesus will be resurrected. LOL.
