Whatever Happened to Tamir Goodman?

In 1999, Tamir Goodman was featured in Sports Illustrated and hailed as the 'Jewish Jordan.'  Amazingly, Tamir was an Orthodox Jew, playing for an Orthodox high-school, and seemed headed for the University of Maryland on a full scholarship with the understanding that he wouldn't play on Shabbos.  Unfortunately, Tamir's career did not unfold as he and so many others had hoped.  He explains why in this interview and also discusses his current projects, which include a book, a film, a basketball camp, and a popular basketball invention.The Jewish Jordan's Triple Threat by Tamir GoodmanSports Illustrated story on Tamir Goodman (see also here)www.TamirGoodman.com  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
