• ... that despite basketball player Barry Leibowitz having been drafted by the New York Knicks and playing in the ABA, he chose to play in Israel instead because of its sea, hummus, and tahini?

• Source: Irad Tzafrir (November 14, 2017). "Barry Leibovitz: "What did I stay in Israel for? Sea, hummus and tahini with olive oil," Haaretz " 'You're talking about hummus and tahini, right? That's what settled me in Israel. It's interesting that I didn't get fat all these years with everything I ate. ' You also loved the sea. Yes, that was part of the satisfaction. Sea and hummus and tahini with olive oil. What did I stay for?" (translation is by Google Translate, but this sense is clarified in the article title.))

• • ALT1: ... that despite basketball player Barry Leibowitz having been drafted by the New York Knicks and played a year in the ABA, he chose to play in Israel instead because of its sea, hummus, and tahini with olive oil? Source: This is the hook as suggested by the IP editor, but it's too long. My version above is trimmed, but there may be other ways of trimming it.

  • Comment: Nominated on behalf of an IP editor (see my talk page) who has also provided the QPQ. That said, I shall paste a note that this IP left on my talk page. Schwede66 23:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

"Note - I should perhaps point out that I have opened up a conversation with an editor who has to my surprise stripped RS-supported mention of Leibowitz from half a dozen articles today between 14:40 and 14:50 (see ). But while I've opened up discussion with the editor, I don't believe that impacts the DYK itself, as that editor has not as of yet sought to delete the same text from this article. --2603:7000:2101:AA00:6103:B31A:D0F4:8A0E (talk) 03:23, 27 February 2025 (UTC)"
