The story · English

Roman Sorkin, Maccabi Tel Aviv’s center, is under renewed fire on social media after another difficult performance in the Israeli Basketball Premier League finals. The article says he is again struggling in the championship series, with criticism focusing on how effectively Hapoel is neutralizing him.

The report was published by Sport 5 on June 23, 2026 at 21:54. It does not detail the exact game numbers in the text provided, but it says the criticism is based on both the statistics and what viewers saw on court.

The piece frames the reaction as part of a wider online backlash, using the quote, “Oh Roman Sorkin,” to reflect the tone of the commentary directed at the Maccabi Tel Aviv big man. It suggests his impact in the finals has fallen below expectations and become a talking point among fans.

The article also notes that the finals series continues, with Hapoel’s defensive approach presented as the main reason for Sorkin’s reduced effectiveness. It does not mention any disciplinary action or official response, only the online criticism and the ongoing championship context.
