Yo, listen up, all you basketball folks! Today, I’m gonna talk about somethin’ special, somethin’ close to my heart – it’s about them NBA players and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Yeah, you heard it right. Them tall fellas bouncin’ the ball, some of ’em are Jehovah’s Witnesses. Ain’t that somethin’?
NBA and That Religion Thing
Now, the NBA, that’s that big basketball thing everyone’s watchin’. They got players from all over, different folks, different beliefs. And some of them, they’re Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s a big mix of people there, just like in that big stew we make down at the church potluck. Different ingredients, but all come together in the end.
These Jehovah’s Witnesses in the NBA, they’re just like us. They go to their meetings, they read their books, and they try to be good folks. But they also play basketball, and they’re real good at it, too! Some people say being a Jehovah’s Witness and a pro basketball player makes no sense, but those people don’t understand, that everyone is different.
Famous NBA Players – Some of ‘Em Jehovah’s Witnesses!
You know, there are some big-name players who are Jehovah’s Witnesses. I can’t recall all their names right now, my memory ain’t what it used to be. But trust me, there are some real famous ones.
- One fella, he was real good, but he stopped playin’ ’cause of his religion. Said it was more important.
- Another one, he’s still playin’, and he’s doin’ great! He shows that you can do both, play ball and follow your faith.
- There was another big name, I think. My mind is getting’ all jumbled up now.
You can find out more by checkin’ online if you are curious. But the point is, Jehovah’s Witnesses in the NBA, they’re there, and they’re doin’ their thing.
How That Faith Thing Works with Basketball
Now, you might be wonderin’, how does that faith thing work with playin’ ball? Well, it’s simple. They believe in bein’ good people, bein’ honest, workin’ hard. And that’s what they do on the court, too. They play fair, they work hard, and they try their best.

- Some of ’em are like doctors and such, making lots of money.
- Some of ’em do regular jobs, just gettin’ by.
- And they all work hard, just like them basketball players.
I heard that some big shot there, makes over ninety thousand a year! And some others, they’re just scrapin’ by with fifty thousand. But you know what? They’re all doin’ honest work, and that’s what counts. Just like those NBA players, Jehovah’s Witnesses, they’re all about hard work and doin’ what’s right.

So, what’s the big deal about all this? Well, it’s simple. It’s about bein’ a good person. It doesn’t matter if you’re an NBA player or a Jehovah’s Witness, or both!
