[Mayyas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mayyas) are making us feel things we, as Lebanese youth, have always longed to feel. The same goes for the Lebanese national basketball team [^1]. Not for the performances themselves, but for seeing those crowds waving the Lebanese flag, and having the chance, for at least a few minutes of their lifetimes, to feel like they belong to something that brings pride.
