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.
