ISRAEL: March Madness and the 'Jewish Jordan'

In honor of the NCAA tournament, we present one blogger's guide to prominant Jews involved in college basketball.

Another blogger muses about the ongoing and sometimes over-reaching search for the next "Jewish Jordan."

And for those who don't already know (we sure didn't) the best Jewish player in the NBA is none other than Lakers guard and former UCLA star Jordan Farmar.
