Critics Review
“I never imagined that when I first worked with Idan before my rookie year, our relationship would extend more than a decade. He has influenced me tremendously and I am very grateful for his loyalty, friendship, and guidance. He is passionate about everything he does and, while some may consider his methods unorthodox, the end results for me have been remarkable.”
—Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks
“Idan inspired me to see my full potential, to become more than others had ever expected of me, and challenge myself to do more than I had even expected of myself. He showed me the importance of resilience and determination; and to capitalize on all my opportunities I had coming out of school and even to this day. His challenge to never become ‘regular’ stuck with me and kept me fierce in my determination to be committed to who I am, what I stand for, and to leave my lasting fingerprints on the game I so dearly love.”
—Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
“Idan believed in me when others didn’t. He challenged me when others couldn’t. He cheered for me when others stopped. He praised me when others wouldn’t. He stood by me when others ran. He encouraged me to find my greatness, which I did and continue to find.”
—JR Smith, New York Knicks
“Idan is the first guy that I’ve worked with that brought something different to the workouts, who pushed me past my limits, who made me think of the game on a different level. He pushed me with his words, encouraged me and built my confidence as the days went on. Truly one of a kind and I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from him.”
—Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder
“Idan was the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. The drills that we did pushed me to and past the limit. Working with Idan allowed me to fall in love with the game of basketball all over again. If you want to be great, go see Idan and it will change your life.”
—Dwight Howard, Houston Rockets
