    Dude almost couldn’t play ball because of injuries but he became a key starter on a championship squad. All glory to God!

      It’s the best when you find out about another Christian NBA player as a big NBA fan. I always liked Michael and really rooted for the nuggets last year to win it all. Now I see why I’ve always been drawn to supporting Michael! Great guy

    I love this topic. Really good to see a celebrity/ athlete that worships Jesus. Not many of those out there. & it’s crucial / beneficial that you asked about his struggles with the outer worlds view on it.

      Sorry this isn't real christianity. Real Christianity has Christians meditating on death judgment heaven and hell and contrary to Martin Luther who called Jesus Christ an adulterer, St Paul Christ in St James say a lot about how we will be judged by our works, the same works that must be done in Christ

    "Christian"....sure.
    Buttttttttttt,
    Is he actually ***preaching the Gospel*** to his teammates, coaches, fans, and reporters, or,
    is he quiet about sin, repentance, and salvation (like the majority of timid "Christians")?
    There^ lies the key;
    for, Messiah Yeshua said:
    "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments" (John 14:15).

    God bless, thank you for the video.
    we all have sinned and done wrong, and God is just and will punish sin. The punishment of our sins is eternity in hell. But God sent His Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment on our behalf that we may be blameless before God. He paid the fine, for our crime(sin), on the cross. Repent and put your faith in Christ that you may be saved.
