The Jewish Jordan

As if I wasn't offended enough, I am an avid basketballer.

"Lessons on passes, dribbling, and life; Hoop player turns attention to youth" by Peter Schworm, Globe Staff | August 6, 2009

A decade ago, Tamir Goodman was a national sensation, a basketball star so gifted Sports Illustrated dubbed him “the Jewish Jordan.’’ As a high school junior, when he averaged more than 35 points a game, the Baltimore native accepted a full scholarship to the University of Maryland. His athletic future seemed limitless.

No truth to the Globe rumor that he beat MJ one-on-one.

But the fast-track to NBA stardom would not be Goodman’s calling. An Orthodox Jew who wore a kippah during games, the lanky redhead decided the demands of big-time college basketball were incompatible with his unwavering observance of Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. A winding path led him to Israel, where he now plays professionally, as point guard for the Maccabi Haifa Heat. In Boston yesterday as part of a US tour of speaking engagements and basketball clinics, he said he is using his gift for the sport to teach kids about life.

Ever notice how much the Jews care about everyone else?

Don't you wish you could be as good, goyim?

Judaism teaches that everyone has a mission in life, and mine is basketball,’’ he said in an interview. “God entrusted me with my talent as a tool to do good.’’

Is that what dropping WMD on Palestinians is? Doing good?

Goodman drilled about 20 teenagers at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in the basics of the sport in an event organized by Combined Jewish Philanthropies as part of its partnership with Haifa, Israel’s third largest city.

Yes, this state is under Zionist control big time. They are looting us dry.

Goodman told the group that with his kippah and 6-foot-3 frame, some people once viewed him as an oddity in the basketball world and assumed he was not good enough to make it in the professional leagues. “I was told I could never play at the next level,’’ he said. “But if you work hard, work the right way, no one can really stop you.’’

Using his status in the Jewish community as a springboard, Goodman has pursued a charitable mission, spearheading Haifa Hoops for Kids, which helps disadvantaged and special needs Israeli children, as well as children affected by Palestinian rocket attacks.

And I'M SURE he enlists PALESTINIAN KIDS who have come under ISRAELI FIRE, right? I mean, he's such a good joo!

This summer, he has traveled across the United States promoting the game and the personal qualities it demands and instills, such as teamwork, discipline, and dedication. “Sports brings everyone together and brings out the best in people,’’ he said.

THAT I agree with!!!!

You see, we have THREE YOUNG BLACK GUYS that play with us OLD WHITE MEN and there is NOTHING BUT RESPECT all the way around!!

NO RACISM HERE, sorry!!!!!

While leading youth basketball camps might seem deflating for a player who once enjoyed much acclaim, Goodman seems perfectly content. Working with children, he says, is deeply rewarding. “It’s very special to me,’’ said the 27-year-old married father of three young children. “I believe it is my mission in life.’’

Jews are so much more purposeful and satisfied than the ret of us complaining scum, ever notice that?

So Israel's mission is to wipe out the Palestinians, 'eh?

Injuries have robbed Goodman of some of his skills on the court.

Oh, DON'T I KNOW IT!!!!!

But he remains committed to his career and said his love for the game is undiminished.

My love for the game knows no bounds; it is without a doubt my most favorite activity on the face of the planet (sorry, sex).

He described the heartbreak of two tough playoff losses this season and said he continues to work hard to improve. Yet he welcomes the chance to make advocacy and coaching a more central part of his career, saying it is part of God’s plan.

I'd like to think he's up above sometimes.

Heartbreak of loss, huh?

:-)

He hopes his own story of faith and determination in the face of adversity will inspire others. “From every setback, you grow stronger,’’ he said.

That is probably true (unless you get a limb blown off in a lying war or something); however, I don't want some preachy Zionist delivering that message.

Goodman said he is still recognized from his high school days, when the four-page spread in Sports Illustrated vaulted him into the spotlight overnight and established him as a Jewish icon. But he refuses to dwell on what might have been, describing his life as “perfectly ordained.’’

See how much BETTER the JEW is than YOU, 'murkn!

We all know how you GOY FAILURES love to hang on to past glory.
