Becoming an icon in two teams over the course of your career is a certificate of appreciation that says a lot about who you are as an actor, and your connection to the audience.
Bar Timor is a unique character.
His quiet leadership, made him everywhere he went far beyond just another player.
His career has been divided mainly into two bio groups.
Hapoel Jerusalem where he played 6 seasons, and Hapoel Tel Aviv which he promoted in his first season to the Premier League.
In the current term in Tel Aviv, he plays for the club for two years, and is signed for another 3 seasons.

Timur is a consensus not only within his teams but also among opponents, in fact apart from the outing to Alba Berlin he has played in the first division only in these two clubs, which is an unconventional thing in an era where players are constantly moving from place to place.
In every team he has reached in his career, Timur has become a household name thanks to his good and egoless basketball, but also thanks to his personality - leadership on the one hand, and modest on the other.
Here is a striking example: in the summer of 2017 he was signed by Maccabi Tel Aviv, but the next morning he decided to stay at Hapoel Jerusalem.
The reason?
He decided it was home.
This is what the heart told him, before he signed for another three years in Jerusalem.

He played for the club for more than half of his career, winning a championship and a trophy with Danny Franco, his current coach at Hapoel Tel Aviv.
When Katsch replaced Franco in Jerusalem, the guard left the team, and I am not sure that the release of such a popular, positive and dedicated player was right on the part of the team.
Even if the coach did not want the player, there are places where the club must dictate, there are things that are above the immediate professional goals.
Bar is a fighter.
He fought in difficult times.
After the injury to his ego when he left Jerusalem, he flourished at Hapoel Tel Aviv.
After already being erased as a national team player, at Guy Goodes at the age of 30 he returned.
When it looked like Hapoel was about to break down he led her to one of the greatest of its victories.
His team selection is as stated not only professional, he goes where his heart leads him.
Therefore, he returned to Hapoel Tel Aviv despite other offers.
It's a club with which he made his comeback to the major leagues and helped him put a stake there, it's a club that was connected to him and the crowd, and there is a situation where he will end his career.
Derby victories are something Timur is well aware of.
His record has the rare number - 19, next to the column of victories over Maccabi.
Already in his first season in the Premier League he had his first.
If yesterday was his best game of his career, then the second game of its kind was in his second season at Hapoel, and the first in the Premier League - in the home arena of Hapoel at the time, Beit Maccabi in Rishon LeZion.
In the game itself Bar Timor was much more decisive ... No, @Noapoplinger?

"It's up to me," Timur told his coach in the middle of the derby after it became clear that Jacoben Brown would not return to play.
Without the big star Brown, and without James Young, Timor demonstrated peak ability and united a bunch that in light of the blows she received last week could break.
That's why the big show yesterday takes on another dimension.
It was the highlight of his career and not just in terms of points.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
