Tamir Goodman, the "Jewish Jordan"

Steve Lipman writes, "A decade after Goodman earned the distinctive moniker while starring on his yeshiva high school basketball team in Baltimore, Goodman is still a hero in his hometown. His combination of Sabbath-observant piety and laser-passing skills earned predictions of a bright future where frum (religious) players had never gone before, but that career never quite materialized."

He used to live in my neighborhood. Once we saw this camera crew parked out on my block. It wasn't that close to where Tamir's parents lived, but I guess they were waiting for a glimpse of him.

I have no idea how good he might have been. But it seems that injuries prevented him from achieving his professional athletic potential.
