During high school, Goodman was ranked among the top 25 recruits in the country, and he garnered attention after averaging 35.4 points per game his junior year, all while remaining faithful to his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. He achieved additional notoriety after being named MVP of the prestigious “Capital Classic All-Star Game,” an award won by players like Shaquille O'Neal and Lebron James. Tamir went on to make history as the first Jewish basketball player to play D-I college and professional basketball, while faithfully wearing a yarmulke on the court and without playing on the Jewish Sabbath. In 2002, Goodman fulfilled his dream of moving to Israel, signing a three-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv and serving in the Israeli Defense Force, which is a requirement of all Israeli citizens.

In the Jewish religion, the Sabbath is observed from sundown Friday until Saturday evening. It's something that has been observed for thousands of years. For Tamir Goodman, this has been part of his life and he wasn't going to allow anything to change his faith and the way in which he practiced his faith. Even if it meant adjusting his basketball schedule around.  During his high school days, he climbed up the rankings to being a top-25 player in the country, and he had a decision to make. He originally committed to Maryland, and ultimately made a big-time decision highly influenced by his faith and Sabbath Day observance, to change his commitment and play at Towson. His journey is super unique and inspiring. It's a story of a young man, who knew what he believed in and stood for what he believed in, in a world where this is very difficult to do.  Listen to our conversation today and learn from the man known as the Jewish Jordan, Tamir Goodman. He still was able to play the game he loved and although the journey may have been "different" than what people thought it would be, it's the exact journey that God had destined for him.
