Full-Court Miracle
Manage episode 388280262 series 2832249
🕎 It’s 2003, and a team of Hebrew school basketball players think they’ve found the ghost of Judah Maccabee in a random guy living in a van.
It’s time once again to think about the Seleucid Empire as we watch a Disney Channel Original Hanukkah Movie very loosely based on the true story of former college basketball star Lamont Carr and a yeshiva’s struggling team looking for a leader.

5. Alex’s prized Dr. J basketball card isn’t even a rookie card and isn’t that valuable.
