Dear Assi and Richard, Wow, wow, wow! Just from being part of the Wild West group from afar, I could see how much fun you were all having. Geva and Yariv were so excited about this trip, and throughout the entire journey, they couldn't stop smiling and sharing how insane, amazing, fun, and unforgettable the experience was. They're coming back home on such a high after 10 incredible days, with a taste for more, filled with excitement, stories, and memories, yet so disappointed that it had to end. I'm not sure you fully realize what this trip meant to them, especially this year... with Yariv completing 326 days of reserve duty and Geva being displaced from his home for over a year, desperately missing some father-son time. You created the perfect quality time for them—an absolutely amazing experience that they'll cherish for the rest of their lives. It's so heartwarming and exciting for me to see them like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything! 🙏🙏 Tzofit, Who stayed at home, consumed by jealousy 🙃 ❤❤❤

Just as we’ve dived back into the daily action at home, I want to join what others have written here and add my own heartfelt thanks to Ido, Assi, and Richard for an extraordinary and unforgettable trip that I was lucky to experience with my boys. As a mom who joined this unique adventure with a bit of hesitation, it only took one day to realize that we had found the perfect place for us. The way you introduced us to the NBA world through the games and the unique experiences you organized went far beyond anything I could have imagined. I’m not sure who was more excited—my boys, who had dreamed of these moments, or me, watching them so thrilled and happy. Thank you so much for the effort, care, and love you poured into every single detail. And to all the amazing people on the trip—it was such a pleasure meeting you, sharing these incredible experiences, and forming friendships along the way. You are a group of wonderful people and kids 💜

Dear trip friends, It was such a pleasure meeting and spending time with you! What an amazing group of kind, positive, cheerful, and supportive people. Wishing you all a safe flight back home! Ido, Assi, Richard, and Bar – You’ve set the bar impossibly high for our future trips with the kids! With your professionalism, patience, and incredible service, you made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. Truly above and beyond! You gave us the perfect trip, and we’re so grateful for everything. Hoping to see you again in the future!

Now that it’s all behind us and feels like a distant dream, it’s time to say thank you. Assi, Ido, Richard, and you too, Barkat—you created a trip that feels like a fairytale. As the kids said, it was far beyond our expectations. We enjoyed every moment—from the games, the breathtaking sights, being on the court, and even the exhausting rides that were still so much fun. The luxurious hotels and every small detail you organized made us feel like royalty. But most importantly, the incredible people who were with us every step of the way. Every single day, we were amazed at how such a large group managed to stay on schedule, handle all the logistics, and turn the entire experience into absolute perfection. A huge thank you for everything, Dudi, Sharon, Yonatan, and Daniel

Dear Richard, Ido, Assi, and the NBA Trips team, "Sometimes dreams come true..." About a year ago, when we first heard about your incredible project, Amit made an official announcement: for his Bar Mitzvah year, he wanted to celebrate with an NBA trip. We quickly caught onto his excitement, bombarded Assi with questions, set up an NBA "command center" at home, and got our friends and family just as hyped about the trip. Now that we've reached the end of this incredible journey, we just want to say—thank you 🙏🏽. Thank you for making Amit's dream come true. Thank you for the amazing experience filled with dedication and creativity. Thank you for showing us the U.S. in the most perfect way imaginable. And thank you for giving us the chance to meet you and an incredible group of people. To our fellow travelers: it's amazing how, in just 10 days, we managed to connect and bond—kids and adults alike. It was a pleasure getting to know each and every one of you, and we hope to meet again on future NBA trips or somewhere along the way. With appreciation and gratitude, Elad and Amit Ohava

What makes the NBA Trip an unforgettable experience? As mentioned here, it's the organization, the games, and the arenas—but most importantly, it's the people we meet along the way. So, thank you again to Assi, Ido, and Richard, as well as all the friends we made here. The morning smiles and coffee, cheering together for Avdija, getting excited about LeBron, jumping into the jacuzzi, and planning dinner together. Yair and I join all the gratitude shared here. For us, this was an amazing father-and-son experience—not the first, but definitely the most meaningful one. You gave us a truly special experience, and we returned home with countless stories, photos, and a craving for more.

I’m not even a sports fan. My son, Assaf was supposed to join the first trip of NBATrips but due to Covid regulations he missed the flight. Immediately after Ido Gur returned to Israel, he came especially to meet Assaf and brought him a pretty amazing gift. There and then I made a decision that my son would not miss the next trip. A few months later, Assaf and his brother Roey made reservations. I wasn’t supposed to come to the trip but I decided to surprise both of my sons after Asi pressured me. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever had if not the best one!!! As someone who doesn’t understand the NBA I absorbed a lot of knowledge and had amazing experiences. Asi, Ido, and Richard were the best. Thank you so much for giving me the privilege to take part in this experience. With much love, Einat Peleg joined by Roey and Assaf.f.

At first I was afraid to go on an organized trip because I didn’t know how it would be and how the people and everything would be, but already on the first day I realized that I had made the right choice. The trip, led by Ido and Asi, was undoubtedly one of the best trips and experiences I’ve had so far. They are all amazing people, with a vibe. The team that Ido and Asi put together was really a great team which was the best part of the trip. The games we saw were on a completely different level – especially the performance of LeBron James who scored 56 points against Golden State in a game I will never forget. LeBron probably won’t forget it either because it’s the third highest number of points he scored in his career and we were there to see it up close. In general – everything including everything (the activities, the hotels, the transportation, the bus) was at a very, very high level – much higher than I thought and I undoubtedly recommend the trip to every basketball fan and am waiting with a trillion eyes for my second round.

In the month of March 2022, I set out with you on a magical journey on the West Coast, which for me was a kind of dream. The trip was prepared and organized in a professional and masterly manner by the company. The schedule was indeed tight, but everything worked and ticked very efficiently. We were privileged to stay in first class hotels and travel in a luxurious bus. We toured Los Angeles, tasted stardust, and had a great time in Venice Beach where we played on the legendary basketball court. When we went north, the beaches of California really amazed us and the highlight, of course, was the wonderful city – San Francisco. But the main focus was basketball. It is impossible to describe in words the intensity of the experience of watching very closely LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Luka Doncic and of course Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. This is something that not everyone gets. For me the highlight was sitting in the new and magnificent hall of the Golden State Warriors. Before that, we made a mandatory visit to the group’s store, which is an experience in itself. The professional Ido Gur was responsible for the basketball side. Always kindly, with an eternal smile and endless patience. These qualities made a decisive and important contribution to the success of the trip. Highly recommend to any basketball fan in general and NBA in particular to join such a journey. Rise and succeed, Ami Lin, Haifa.

A dream that came true period! It seemed so far away and so hard to plan but with the help of the amazing guys led by Ido Gur, Asi Ohana and Richard Green, I got to see all the big stars on the floor up close! Really close!! Stepping on the Lakers legendary floor and throwing in a free throw (airball shame) was an experience I will never forget in my life, there is no doubt that I will return again for a 2nd round, everything is sweet, tidy, hotels of the highest standard, free time for shopping, exciting attractions, historical sites, everything in detail Details and the most important thing is the people, amazing guys one by one with a common theme that connected us all which is the great love and passion for this wonderful thing called the NBA. People I met on the trip have already become lifelong friends for me. A perfect trip, a once in a lifetime experience!

This trip is a once in a lifetime experience. The group had an amazing atmosphere, full of laughter and the people were good and nice. We played basketball on the beach, in the games we upgraded the tickets and sat on the courtside, we went up to the floor to throw a free throw which was the most fun experience for me. We slept in a hotel near the Crypto.com arena and met NBA players there and took pictures with them. I recommend everyone to join all this fun. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable bar mitzvah trip!

Midlife, Wife, job, kids, another girl on the way, and then it happens. out of nowhere. Ido Gur, the guru of NBA fans in Israel, announces a trip to the USA that includes a powerful experience of NBA games, with all the biggest stars. What else can you ask for? The trip was a month away, and I didn’t even have a visa, but Within two weeks I already had a visa in my hand, a pass from the woman, and… let’s get on the flight. From there, two weeks of intoxication. Star Trek, and along the way a game that will also be the final series that same year. And everything with commentary and professional explanations at the highest level, almost like on TV, only with a much more personal attitude. In conclusion – I have had many experiences in my life, but I have no doubt that this was the biggest and most powerful of all, for the reason that it was simply a dream come true! so thank you NBATrips, thank you for making my dream come true!!

When I first heard about the trip, it was clear to me that it was going to join. After a few days of deliberation (which mainly concerned the organization of my schedule at short notice, it is well known that a working mother is the busiest creature in the world) and several conversations with Ido, who from the beginning proved to be patient and attentive, I decided to go for it. To summarize in a few words, it was a dream come true. And to summarize in a few sentences, it was a one-time experience that included a visit to the main cities on the East Coast at the most magical time of the year, amazing games in legendary halls, pampering conditions, a successful balance between group activities and free time, and above all an amazing group of people who share a common love and experience together as closely as possible This league we love so much. Ido and Asi did everything to make our experience perfect even when reality tried to intervene (Omicron, Corona protocol, postponement of games, what not) they managed to find creative solutions and get the best out of everything. This trip was the best gift I could give myself.
