Alef: The NEXT Conversation
The "Jewish Jordan" is retiring. No word yet on the Jewish Ron Artest.
The JTA, citing the Baltimore Jewish Times, reports that Tamir Goodman is retiring from basketball.  Goodman has played in both the U.S. and Israel, and is considered by many to be the greatest Jewish basketball player since Jews dominated the sport over 100 years ago.
To mark the departure of this tefillin-wearing titan of the court, take a look at this recent MSNBC report on the life, times, and career of Tamir Goodman, “the Jewish Jordan.”
According to the JTA, Tamir plans to continue his work with Haifa Hoops for Kids and will be living in Cleveland for the next few years.  We can’t help but think that, Haifa Hoops for Kids or not, Tamir is going to have some free time on his hands, now that they’re not busy slam dunking basket balls.
So, whaddya say Tamir? Wanna write for Alef?
