Tony Skinn blogs from Israel

Former Patriot Tony Skinn apparently has a blog at Pro Basketball Overseas where he talks about playing in Israel: 

"Last time I checked in I was in Germany dealing with a foot injury. I am thankful to report my foot is doing great now and I am back on the basketball court. I arrived in Ashkelon in September, on a tryout basis, and signed shortly after. Being brought in on a tryout basis wasn't necessarily the opportunity I was looking for, but with the NBA's lockout in full effect and having just come off of an injury I didn't think it was my place to be picky. I am here now and that's all that really matters. We are currently 6-3 and hope we take this team deep into the playoffs. Overall, the league is pretty competitive. Most people know of the league's powerhouses, Maccabi Tel-Avib and Hapoel Jerusalem, but my experiences and observations prove the entire league to be competitive and well balanced.
On another note, let's talk about where I live. I'm currently living in an apartment, walking distance from the beach. It's been a great feeling being able to wake up and look outside my window to see the waves. Most days here are warm and sunny so I do not have any complaints in that category. One of my biggest fears when getting onto a plane and coming to Israel, was whether I would feel safe here. Let's just say I feel safe and haven't felt like I'm in any danger. The food is good, the weather is beautiful, the people are nice and spirituality surrounds me; I'm loving it!
One thing I am definitely going to miss is spending time with my family and friends during the holidays. Until the next time, wishing you and yours a happy holiday season!
