He was inducted into the LIU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2002.

## Early life

Leibowitz was born and raised in [the Bronx](/source/The_Bronx) in New York City, New York, and is Jewish.[1][2][3] He graduated from [DeWitt Clinton High School](/source/DeWitt_Clinton_High_School) ('63) in the Bronx.[4][5] There, he was a standout basketball player alongside future Hall of Famer [Nate "Tiny" Archibald](/source/Nate_Archibald), and their team won the New York City [PSAL](/source/PSAL) championship in 1962–63.[6][7][8] He was the first white basketball player to play in the [Rucker Tournament](/source/Rucker_Tournament) in [Harlem](/source/Harlem) in Manhattan.[7]

## College and Pan Am Maccabiah Games career

As a 6' 2" [guard](/source/Guard_(basketball)) on scholarship at [Long Island University](/source/Long_Island_University) in the [Metropolitan Collegiate Conference](/source/Metropolitan_Collegiate_Conference), from 1964–67 Leibowitz scored a total of 1,032 points.[9][7] He helped lead the [LIU Blackbirds](/source/LIU_Brooklyn_Blackbirds) to a 60–18 record, three consecutive Tri-State League championships, and three straight [NCAA](/source/NCAA) College Division appearances.[9] He was All-Met and All-Tri-State in 1966, co-captain of the team in 1966–67, and was named an [All-American](/source/All-American) in 1967.[10][11][12]

He played for the United States in the 1966 Pan American [Maccabiah Games](/source/Maccabiah_Games) in [São Paulo](/source/S%C3%A3o_Paulo), Brazil, at which Team USA won a gold medal.[13][14] Leibowitz played alongside, among others, [Mark Turenshine](/source/Mark_Turenshine) and future [NBA](/source/NBA) players [Dave Newmark](/source/Dave_Newmark) and [Rick Weitzman](/source/Rick_Weitzman).[14][7]

## American Basketball Association career

After graduating from LIU in 1967, Leibowitz was selected by the [New York Knicks](/source/New_York_Knicks) in the fifth round (48th overall) of the [1967 NBA Draft](/source/1967_NBA_Draft), and by the [Pittsburgh Pipers](/source/Pittsburgh_Pipers) with the 12th pick in the [ABA Draft](/source/ABA_Draft) (directly ahead of [Clem Haskins](/source/Clem_Haskins)).[5][15] He chose to play for Pittsburgh in the new [American Basketball Association](/source/American_Basketball_Association).[5]

Leibowitz played one season (1967–68) in the [American Basketball Association](/source/American_Basketball_Association) (ABA) as a member of the [Pittsburgh Pipers](/source/Pittsburgh_Pipers), [New Jersey Americans](/source/New_Jersey_Americans), and [Oakland Oaks](/source/Oakland_Oaks_(ABA)).[1] He was traded twice and played for three teams in the first four months of the season.[5] Playing first for the Pipers alongside [Connie Hawkins](/source/Connie_Hawkins), who had played for the [Harlem Globetrotters](/source/Harlem_Globetrotters) and asserted that in their travels he had become fluent in 50 to 60 languages, Leibowitz quipped: "He learned one word in every country, so he thought he was fluent in fifty to sixty languages. And nobody was going to argue with him."[16][17]

Leibowitz was traded by the Pittsburgh Pipers to the [New Jersey Americans](/source/New_Jersey_Americans) (now the [Brooklyn Nets](/source/Brooklyn_Nets) in the [NBA](/source/NBA)) for [Art Heyman](/source/Art_Heyman) (the first overall pick in the first round of the 1963 NBA draft) in December 1967; the *[Miami News](/source/Miami_News)* called it "one of the few straight-Jewish-player trades in sports history."[5][18][19] Two months later, Leibowitz was traded again, this time to the [Oakland Oaks](/source/Oakland_Oaks_(ABA)) (for [Levern "Jelly" Tart](/source/Levern_Tart), who was leading the league in scoring at the time), with whom he finished the year.[5][20][21] In 82 games, he averaged 10.9 points and 3.7 [assists](/source/Assist_(basketball)) per game, while shooting 80.5% from the [free throw line](/source/Free_throw_line) (11th in the ABA).[1] He was 5th in the ABA in assists (301).[1]

## Israeli professional career

### Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Haifa

In June 1968 before the start of the 1968–69 season, the Oakland Oaks sought to send Leibowitz to the [New Orleans Buccaneers](/source/New_Orleans_Buccaneers) in a trade for point guard [Larry Brown](/source/Larry_Brown_(basketball)) and small forward [Doug Moe](/source/Doug_Moe), and he was signed to a two-year contract for $11,000 ($102,000 in current dollar terms) a season.[22][23][24] The Buccaneers then traded him with that contract to the [Utah Jazz](/source/Utah_Jazz).[13]

During that off-season, however, Leibowitz decided against playing for a fourth team in the ABA. During his summer vacation he took a trip to the Greek islands, after which he dropped by for a three-day visit with his college teammate [Ivan Leshinsky](/source/Ivan_Leshinsky) and his friend [Mark Turenshine](/source/Mark_Turenshine) who were playing basketball in Israel.[13][25][23] Unexpectedly, he ended up signing to play in Israel as well, instead of returning to the U.S.[13][25][23] He spoke to his new coach in the U.S., who told him that it was a shame, but that if Israel did not work out for him "then come, you have a place."[13] So he said to himself: "What do I have to lose? I'll try it for a year and if it doesn't work out, I'll come back."[13][26] He later said that he stayed in Israel because of its sea, [hummus](/source/Hummus), and [tahini](/source/Tahini#Israel) with olive oil.[13]

Leibowitz played professionally in Israel for [Hapoel Tel Aviv](/source/Hapoel_Tel_Aviv_B.C.) of the [Israeli Basketball Premier League](/source/Israeli_Basketball_Premier_League), with whom his first salary was 600 Israeli pounds ($170 ($1,600 in current dollar terms)) per month.[22] He played for the team from 1968 until 1982, with a short break from playing.[22] He was temporarily banned by [FIBA](/source/FIBA) from playing because he was not an amateur, having played one season in the ABA, and he instead became the team’s coach for a time.[25][22][27] He coached the team to the Israeli Basketball Premier League and [Israeli Basketball State Cup](/source/Israeli_Basketball_State_Cup) double in 1968–69.[27] He then returned strictly as a player.[27] In 1976, Leibowitz scored 51 points in a [Korac Cup](/source/1975%E2%80%9376_FIBA_Kora%C4%87_Cup) game against Spain's [FC Barcelona Bàsquet](/source/FC_Barcelona_B%C3%A0squet), although Hapoel Tel Aviv lost 117–126.[27][23] His high-scoring season was 1979, when he averaged 22.6 points per game.[28] He was named the Israeli Basketball Premier League Player of the Year in 1975, and a Premier League All Star in 1973 and 1975, 1976, and 1977.[25] From 1982 to 1985 he played for [Hapoel Haifa](/source/Hapoel_Haifa_B.C.).[26][22] In 1985, at 40 years of age, he retired from basketball.[23]

## Israeli national team and Maccabiah Games career

Leibowitz was the captain of [Israeli national team](/source/Israel_national_basketball_team) that won the [silver medal](/source/Silver_medal) at [EuroBasket 1979](/source/EuroBasket_1979) in Italy.[13][29] He also played for it in the [1973](/source/EuroBasket_1973), [1975](/source/EuroBasket_1975), [1977](/source/EuroBasket_1977), and [1981](/source/EuroBasket_1981) [European championships](/source/EuroBasket).[30][31][32]

He played basketball in the [1973 Maccabiah Games](/source/1973_Maccabiah_Games). There, he won a [gold medal](/source/Gold_medal) with Team Israel alongside [Tal Brody](/source/Tal_Brody) and [Mickey Berkowitz](/source/Mickey_Berkowitz).[33] He also played for Team Israel in the [1977 Maccabiah Games](/source/1977_Maccabiah_Games), winning a silver medal.[34][35]

## Hall of Fame

In 2002, Leibowitz was inducted into the LIU Athletics Hall of Fame.[9]

## Personal

While in Israel, Leibowitz married an Israeli woman, and [made *aliyah*](/source/Aliyah) by immigrating to Israel.[25][36] In 2002, he was working as a children's basketball coach, but his main profession was as a high school teacher of physiology and anatomy.[22] He later lived in [Plantation, Florida](/source/Plantation%2C_Florida), and [Fort Lauderdale, Florida](/source/Fort_Lauderdale%2C_Florida).[13][23] He has a daughter, Alona, who lives in Israel, is married to Israeli coach and former basketball player [Yehu Orland](/source/Yehu_Orland), and has a son named Omri.[37][13]
