  • Tal Brody is an American-Israeli former basketball player, and current Goodwill Ambassador of Israel, who lives in Israel. Brody was drafted # 12 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) draft, but chose to pass up an NBA career to instead play basketball in Israel. He played on national basketball teams of both the United States and Israel, and served in the armies of both countries. A New Jersey All Star basketball player in high school, Brody led his team to an undefeated state championship. In college he was a high-scoring, slick-passing All American and All-Big Ten guard in 1965, while playing for the University of Illinois. That year, he was drafted 12th in the NBA draft. Before the NBA season started, he traveled to Israel where he led the U.S. basketball team to a gold medal in the 1965 Maccabiah Games. Convinced by Moshe Dayan and others to return to Israel to help elevate the country's basketball team and morale, he passed up his NBA career to instead play basketball in Israel, as the shooting guard and captain of the Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team. He was voted Israeli Sportsman of the Year in 1967, and was a member of the European All Star Team. In 1977, he led tiny Israel's basketball team to the European Cup Basketball Championship. Along the way, his team defeated the heavily favored Soviet Red Army team. Brody's famous remark upon beating the Soviets – "We are on the map! And we are staying on the map – not only in sports, but in everything. " – became a part of Israeli culture. It has been used for decades in various contexts, from political speeches to National Lottery commercials. In 1979 he was awarded the country's highest civilian honor, the Israel Prize. He was named the University of Illinois "Man of the Year" and inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1996, and inducted into the U.S. National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. In Israel, he is a revered national hero, icon, and legend — a superstar akin to Michael Jordan in the U.S. He is thought by some to be the greatest and most famous athlete who has ever represented the country. As Israel's first modern-day sports hero, he is a symbol of all the young country's achievements.

  • Tal Brody is een voormalig Amerikaans-Israëlisch basketbalspeler en huidig Israëlisch verzekeringsagent. De 1,87 m lange speler kwam meestal uit voor Maccabi Tel Aviv BC. In Israël heeft hij een status van nationale held verkregen, en niet uitsluitend in basketbal. Zijn beroemde uitspraak "we zijn op de kaart (en we blijven op de kaart)", na een historische overwinning van Maccabi Tel Aviv over PBC CSKA Moskou is een gedeelte van de Israëlische cultuur en wordt gebruikt in vele situaties en contexten, van politieke speeches tot reclamespotjes van de staatsloterij. Brody is de eerste Israëlische sporter die de nationale Israëlprijs ontving.
