I read your interesting article with great joy and I really wish
Tamara good luck in her journey...

However I still haven't received any feedback about Sagesse admitting
their mistake in their calculations with regards to the all time
female leb basketball player of all Salpi, who on so many occasions
was elected best arab female player of the year.

By the way, just to add on your article, Salpi also was the very
first leb and arab female, if not the only one at least for the near
or further future to go for a full TRYOUTS at the WNBA..

Sagesse? We can't hear you anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
