Ibrahim Jaaber: Where are they now? The former two-time Ivy League Player of the Year discusses the glory days of Penn basketball, how the game has been therapeutic, the art of stealing the ball, the EuroLeague vs. the NBA, playing while fasting, and what he’s up to today.
Ibrahim Jaaber played for the men’s basketball team during its glory days, when the Quakers were expected to win the Ivy League every year and usually did.
Between 1992-93 and 2006-07, the Red & Blue won 11 of 15 Ivy League titles, including four straight from ‘92-93 to ‘95-96 and three straight from ‘04-05 to ‘06-07. (The Quakers also won 11 of 13 between 1969-70 and 1981-82, including six straight from ‘69-70 to ‘74-75 and five straight from ‘77-78 to ’81-82.)
