The King James Bible

Sometimes something comes along which is just so freakishly crazy that even we couldn’t come up with it. Case in point–that NBA superstart LeBron James, when asked by Time Magazine who whom he would tap for the Time 100 (kind of like a goyish, less prestigious Heeb 100), picked Jay Schottenstein, the clothing store magnate (and Heeb non-advertiser), who is better known in some circles for footing the bill for the Artscroll translation of the Talmud into English. This endeavor, known as the "Schottenstein Edition" is apparently what caught LeBron’s eye. It’s a little too close to April 1 for Jewdar to completely trust this item, but hey, even as a joke, it’s pretty damn bizarre. Dare we dream that LeBron may be planning to join the Tribe? We hope so, as it’s been a looooong time since the NBA has had a black Jewish superstar–we don’t care what anyone else says–as far as we’re concerned, a guy named both Julius and Erving, who’s a doctor to boot simply has to be a Yid.

What do you think?
