Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, bringing lots of excitement to the American people as he made history. These days the country of Israel is experiencing similar excitement, as Omri Casspi of the Sacramento Kings is making his mark in the history books, becoming the first Israeli baller in the NBA.

Casspi, 21, has been one of the hottest names in European basketball the last few years, starring for Maccabi Tel Aviv. He now has the entire country of Israel celebrating its first representative in the best basketball league in the world. In this exclusive FanHouse video, we catch up with Casspi, a talented player known for his toughness. We also hear from his teammates Donte Greene, who tells us about Omri's hip-hop nickname, and Jason Thompson, who says Casspi reminds him and a taller, right-handed Manu Ginobili.
