Movie: The First Basket

Hmmm...the intersection between history, sports, and Judaism.

Seems like a good combo for me.

What impressed me most about the movie wasn't so much the fact that the first basket in the NBA was scored by a Jew or the role of Jews in the formation of the league.

What really impressed me was how many quality interview (ranging from Red Auerbach to hard-core Rabbinical authorities) were part of the documentary.

The filmmaker is David Vyorst whom I met a few weeks ago and he's done a very impressive job in documenting this story.

Who wants the DVD? I'll send it to you (and yes, review of the movie would be necessary). Hey, no such thing as a free lunch!
