The main (and almost only) rivalry in Israel is Maccabi-Hapoel, but to the every team's fan's it is very important to win the championship. every team exept of Maccabi want to make history, Mainly Hapoel who didn't won a single chapionship yet altough the are one of the best team's in Israel in the last to decades.
Maccabi want the championship very bad after they lost the championship last year, Shimon Mizrhai (Maccabi chairman) say every time that in first place come's the championship and then come the Euroleague. in the last two years Maccabi coaches got fired over losing in the Israeli league, not over losing in the Euroleague (that why Zvi Sherf who got to the final game in the Euroleague but lost the championship, didn't continued with Maccabi this year).
