The Key To Middle East Peace? Jordan Farmar
That’s right, the Jordan Farmar. While other players are working on their defense and jump shots, Jordan Farmar will be taking his three-point shot and lack of defense to the Middle East in an attempt to do some good. From the LA Times:
The Lakers’ guard, who is Jewish, will travel to Israel to run basketball camps for Israeli and Palestinian children in association with the Peres Peace Center. The goal of the camps, which take place Aug. 4 to 11, is to bring Israeli and Palestinian children together through basketball and create a foundation for peaceful relations between them in years to come.
No jokes. That’s good work, and brave work. I may criticize the guy for getting man-handled on the defensive side, but you won’t find a better example of giving back to your community. He’s not just going down the street, he’s going right into the middle of the problem, and working to make a difference.
In related news, I once shared crayons in kindergarten.
Good show, old chap. It’s good to post good news every once in a while. Too bad that it means this post will get five views. Oh well, no one watches the train as long as it’s still on the tracks.
