Jewish Jordan Spreads his False Righteousness

On Saturday morning I attended Orthodox services at Penn Hillel to celebrate my brother's aufruf (pronounced "oof-roof") the day before his wedding, and a former media darling happened to be in attendance by the name of Tamir Goodman. You may remember him as the Orthodox Jew who could light it up, averaging 35 points a game as a junior at Talmudical Academy in Baltimore. Gary Williams offered him a scholarship as he continued to tear up Jewish and non-Jewish competition alike. He had to give back the scholarship because Williams could not make accommodations for Goodman to not play on Saturdays, which lead to a spot on the Towson Tigers, a low-major program. After a year of what some considered completely missing expectations, Tamir claimed he jumped at the contract offer he received from Maccabi Tel-Aviv, fulfilling his dream to play in Israel. However, the conditions that the team had taken in Goodman were hurting the team as Goodman played terribly. Coach Mike Hunt was a little ridiculous in throwing a chair at Goodman, but he had his reasons. If Goodman had played as well as he did in high school, I think Hunt would have kept up the agreement, or just let them schedule games he couldn't play in on Saturday. And I almost neglected to mention that Goodman's time in Israel had been even more underwhelming, as he found no playing time, even when he was playing for second division teams over there. I don't want to sound like an anti-Semite, especially because I am Jewish, but Tamir just was never that good. But now some professional team has signed him in the US (he wouldn't disclose it, but it is definitely not an NBA team, and he told me it isn't an ABA team, which are known for promotions like naming a team the Atlanta Krunk), and the team has agreed to not play games Friday night or Saturday. Hopefully he can redeem himself, give us Jews some street cred, and not get a chair thrown at him.
