Listen "48. Bigger Than Jordan w/ Tamir Goodman"
Episode Synopsis
Tamir Goodman is the only basketball player in history to play at a D1 level while fully observing Shabbat. It’s a story that includes shocks, setbacks and lots of uplifting moments.
Glancing at the Wikipedia version of Tamir’s story would lead most to exclaim “Yoshke! This guy sacrificed a lot to keep Shabbat!”
But this isn’t how Tamir sees it. Shabbat kept him.
The ups and downs of Tamir’s path were received with a sage-like equanimity which he attributes to wearing G-d’s jersey.
Videos: Tamir's background; and the 1999 SNL skit with Jerry Seinfeld playing the "Jewish Michael Jordan" (16:30).
Music by Flint — "Cloudy Skies," "Glitch Flop."
