Your Biennial Tamir Goodman Update
Dec 5th 2007eBasketball
The “Jewish Jordan” (not me, the one officially recognized by the national media) is returning to American soil. Tamir Goodman has agreed to join the Maryland Nighthawks of the Premier Basketball League, and he will make his U.S. professional basketball debut when their season opens in January. Goodman’s excitement about the new job is prototypical of a man who’s been is the spotlight for too long.
“I loved living and playing in Israel, but I’m thrilled to come home to Maryland and join the Nighthawks,” Goodman said.
It’s nice Goodman’s so thrilled to be home—for six long years his adoring fans have been eagerly waiting for him to lead some kind of Maryland basketball team to the promised land (figuratively speaking of course).
Goodman’s shooting should help take away the sting of the Nighthawks losing 7″9 center Sun Ming Ming to Mexico’s Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional. However, the team shouldn’t expect much else from their new new guard. I saw Goodman play in high school once and he couldn’t even cover the point guard for the Yeshiva of Greater Washington. Then again, this is a league that has a rule allowing celebrities to suit up and play, so perhaps Goodman is MVP material.
