Just oughta curiosity...this is the first time I hear about this guy...is he a christian?? Did he professed Christ on the basketball court? Why did he skyrocketed on the TV scope so fast? Is he another Tebow?
He’s apparently a nobody. He came out of nowhere and is sleeping on his brothers couch.
Yes, he’s a Christian, I believe an Evangelical. There are some very strong Christians these days in China and in South Korea. I’ve met a few of them.
Obviously there’s some interest because most Asians are relatively short, and therefore not usually basketball material. And I suspect some interest because it offers a chance to cheer for a non-black basketball player without being accused of being a racist who cheers for Whitie.
He’s a Christian, and he didn’t come out of nowhere. Anyone who’s followed his progress from HS to college to the Golden State Warriors to The Knicks knew he could play. He’s been relegated to lots of bench time behind guys with bigger salaries and egos. He’s getting a chance to shine now because of injuries to other players....
Yes, he is a Christian who openly confesses his devotion to Christ.
He has always been a good basketball player, yet he was always overlooked. Despite leading his high school team to a state championship and being California player of the year, he didn’t get a scholarship. He got accepted into Harvard, made the team, and had a record setting college basketball career. Yet he didn’t get drafted by any pro teams.
A pro team eventually signed him, but only played him sparingly last year. They cut him before this year. He was eventually picked up by New York, but was mostly on the bench. When a bunch of New York players got injured, the coach was forced to play him, and he has led them to 6 straight wins. He broke the record for most points for a players first five starts in NBA history.
And he is doing it in New York, the biggest stage. It is a great story.
