Allan Houston had a ball in Israel. The former NBA star recently toured the Jewish state with his wife, Tamara, and they stopped by the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens to plant a Ficus tree with the Jewish National Fund.
The Houstons said they plan to return to Israel in a few years with their five children to check on the tree’s status.
“We are very excited to be in Israel and plant a tree, one of some 240 million trees planted in this country so far,” said Mr. Houston, 38, who now works on player development for the New York Knicks. “We thank JNF for bringing us here, and will definitely come back with all our kids.”
