All basketball eyes are focused on San Antonio until Monday night\u2019s NCAA ceremony and rightly so. History has already been made in that three of the four head coaches \u2014 Auburn\u2019s Bruce Pearl, Duke\u2019s Jon Scheyer (my youngest son, Luke, is a fourth-year manager for the Blue Devils) and Todd Golden of Florida \u2014 were bar mitzvahed. Their respective work ethics are second to none, and they are as imperfect as all of us. Hallelujah! Mazel tov! They are Jewish, brought up to celebrate Purim, Passover and Chanukah, yet their \u201creligion\u201d may as well be called \u201choopism,\u201d consistent with the 100-plus-year Jewish addiction and attachment to this glorious game.<\/p>\n
There is Black Pride, Gay Pride, Hispanic Pride, MAGA Pride, and there\u2019s always been Jewish Pride \u2014 you were exposed to being \u201cdifferent,\u201d a minority, an outsider from an early age. You were taught about the Holocaust, the most loathsome acts of inhumanity in a deeply troubled world.<\/p>\n
You were expected to be respectful to elders, to women, to teachers, and that \u201ceducation\u201d was your ticket to the \u201cAmerican Dream.\u201d So you learned to strive, work, read; \u201cbe a doctor,\u201d the mother whined; \u201ca lawyer,\u201d the father shouted; a teacher; \u201cbe happy, bubala,\u201d said the grandma. Cause here comes the whisper embedded in your head: \u201cMost of them hate us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ah, but here\u2019s a ball, an equalizer, a means to assimilate. Here is the bottom ladder of a fire escape, a half-moon backboard on Mosholu Parkway, a Settlement Home on the Lower East Side built by the architects of the turn-of-the-century honest Progressive Movement. Take this roundball, child, use your rolled-up dirty sock bouncing off the bent hanger as a rim on your closed bedroom door dunking over your younger sibling, imitating the play-by-play voice of Marty Glickman or Marv Albert. That ball grew into the Voit. The fire escape ladder into backboards and rims, friends and competitors and teams, rules, coaches good and bad, into love, obsession, is there any difference at the start?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
