Brooklyn Nets 19-year-old Israeli guard Ben Saraf (drafted 26th overall in 2025) took control of the arena music during pre-game warmups and cranked the popular Israeli party anthem “Mahapecha Shel Simcha” by Omer Adam at full volume.
The moment was captured on video and posted to X, where it’s already racking up hundreds of thousands of views. Fans are calling it “instant vibes” and pure Israeli energy in the middle of an NBA arena.
Quick background:
- Ben Saraf is the latest young Israeli making noise in the NBA. The 6'6" guard/forward from Israel has been getting real minutes with the Nets this season and is known for his smooth scoring and confidence.
- “Mahapecha” (which means “revolution” in Hebrew) is a high-energy, feel-good banger by superstar Israeli singer Omer Adam, the kind of track that gets entire crowds jumping at parties and weddings back home.
The video shows Saraf casually walking the court while the beat drops and the song echoes through the arena. Nets staff and teammates didn’t seem to mind, it just added to the pre-game atmosphere.
