Tamir Goodman, dubbed by Sports Illustrated magazine as the "Jewish Jordan", is an American-born Israeli retired Orthodox Jewish basketball player. After averaging 35.4 points per game for the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore, in 11th grade he was ranked the 25th-best high school player in the country. Goodman received a scholarship to the University of Maryland. The team's schedule of practices and games meant having to play on Friday nights and Saturdays, against the rules of Orthodox Judaism, so he declined Maryland's offer and accepted a scholarship from nearby Towson University. Goodman then moved to Israel and signing a 3-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2002, and was loaned to Giv'at Shmuel for the 2002?03 season, and then played for Elitzur Kiryat Ata in the 2003?04 season, and went back to Giva't Shmuel for the 2005?06 season.
