    Kenny Sailors passed away this morning, 1/30/2016, at the age of 95. The time has long passed to put this man in the hall of fame.

    "One thing that has stood the test the time is God. He has satisfied me in a way that all the fame and success could never do." #faith I love that quote. This whole video should be transcribed. What a wise man!

    Lucky me... I love Basketball and the Jump Shot, I've lost Love, and after finding God, I'm a "Born Again..." type too!
    For me this is a Treasure; thanks for Posting!

    Why isn't he in the NBA HOF, tho? He revolutionized the whole sport! The jump shot allowed 3 of the 5 all-time points leaders (MJ, Kobe, and Karl Malone) to dominate the game. WTH

    • @jasonfishburnmusic
      @jasonfishburnmusic 10 років тому

      At the end of the video, it says he was inducted into the hof.

    • @axeldelumen
      @axeldelumen 10 років тому +2

      ***** That's the college HOF, not the NBA Naismith HOF. He deserves to be in both IMO.

    It would be wise to listen to what someone Mr. Sailors' age has to say, and respect it, even if you disagree. In this case he has related the Truth. What you do with it will have eternal ramifications, one way or another. God bless you, Mr. Sailors for keeping it real.

      well there was a Bible verse in the beginning and the channel name is Explore God so I can't see where you would be confused

    • @m3gusta17
      @m3gusta17 10 років тому +8

      So just because they mentioned God or Jesus, you can't enjoy the fact that this dude invented the shot that made the accomplishments and moves of MJ and Kobe possible?

    • @SAOProductions1955
      @SAOProductions1955 10 років тому +3

      Confusion is what results when anyone tries to walk around with blinders on.

    • @fentonabad4714
      @fentonabad4714 10 років тому +6

      To this guy, basketball and his spiritual life can't really be separated, so however you put it, what you just enjoyed watching is what he's calling his experience with God, mate. Not much else to it.

      Deb Thomas that's the college HOF. he's not in the NBA's Naismith HOF, sadly. Here take a look at the list:

    Find ALL the videos on UA-cam from Explore God sources and you will tap into some of the best material, conversations, and rational information on the possibility of truth, Bible, and primacy of knowing God (and being known by God). Watch it all before deciding (Heb.10;24).

      well, it's on a channel called "Explore God", what did you expect? lol
      You don't have to agree with his views, but I think it's nice that he has something to look forward to beyond the basketball court. I love basketball the most out of all my hobbies, and I think if I had nothing to look forward to, I'd probably be kind of sad after I no longer had the physical capacity to play my favorite sport.
