The game of basketball spread like wildfire through turn-of-the-century
New York settlement houses and proved a perfect fit for urban Jewish
kids longing to assimilate into American life. 

 

Chock full of vivid anecdotes and distinctive characters this engaging
documentary brings back famous as well as unsung basketball legends to
reveal the rich history and amazing contributions of these pioneering
Jewish athletes. Tamir Goodman, dubbed the "Jewish Jordan" by Sports
Illustrated magazine, and who also appears in the film, leads a
post-viewing discussion.
