The NBA's Starting חמש
- Lebron James - who previously had much respect for the Schottensteins, recently met with R' Yishayahu Yosef Pinto for business advice.
- Amar'e Stoudemire - who went to Israel to find his "Jewish roots" and said that he would fast on Yom Kippur (unless there's a basketball game) and not eat bread on Passover
- Shaquille O'Neal - who suddenly spoke Hebrew
- Omri Casspi - the first Israeli in the NBA
- Doron Sheffer - who opted not to go to the NBA and found Yiddishkeit

This is a sign of the Geula approaching.
What is your reasoning? From Tzephania 3:9?
My reasoning is not from Tzephania 3:9, but from the following. In the Midrash Rabba, Rav Isaac clearly compares Esav to a pig. And a number of authorities including Rav Menachem Azarya Defano, Rav Chayim Ibn Attar, and the Chatam Sofer suggested that the pig will undergo an evolutionary process and develop a cud, rendering it kosher with the coming of the Moshiach. So as we get closer to the Geula, just as I expect some kind of change in the pig, I expect that Esav will endeavor more and more to emulate Yaakov.
