Kenny Lôpton Jr., a star player for Hapoel Jerusalem, has playfully mocked the two Tel Aviv basketball teams, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv, by placing them at the bottom of a power ranking he was asked to create for the league. Lôpton ranked Hapoel Tel Aviv last, in 14th place, and Maccabi Tel Aviv second to last, in 13th place. He placed his own team, Hapoel Jerusalem, at the top of the ranking. The ranking was compiled ahead of Hapoel Jerusalem's Winner Cup semifinal game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled for Sunday evening. The full ranking listed Hapoel Jerusalem first, followed by Hapoel Emek, Hapoel Holon, Bnei Herzliya, Maccabi Ramat Gan, Kiryat Ata, Galil Elyon, Ness Ziona, Hapoel Eilat, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Rishon LeZion, Maccabi Ashdod, Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
