Wow, talk about an unlikely combination! Who would’ve thought that the NBA and Jehovah’s Witnesses could ever come together? But it’s true - there are actually quite a few players in the NBA who are Jehovah’s Witnesses. From Derrick Rose to Metta World Peace, these guys have found a way to balance their faith with their basketball careers. It’s pretty amazing how they manage to do it all!
Who In The Nba Is Jehovah Witness? [Solved]
Wow, who knew? Three NBA players are Jehovah’s Witnesses — Dewayne Dedmon of the Heat, and Danny Granger and Darren Collison from the Pacers. Crazy!
Beliefs: Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in one God, the creator of all things, and that Jesus Christ is his son and our savior. They also believe in the Bible as their source of truth and guidance.
Practices: Jehovah’s Witnesses practice a number of religious activities such as attending weekly meetings at Kingdom Halls, door-to-door preaching, studying the Bible together, and abstaining from certain activities such as celebrating holidays or birthdays.
NBA Players: There are several current NBA players who are Jehovah’s Witnesses including Thabo Sefolosha (Atlanta Hawks), Luol Deng (Los Angeles Lakers), Al Harrington (Orlando Magic) and Metta World Peace (Los Angeles Lakers).
Refusal to Play on Sundays: As part of their beliefs, many Jehovah’s Witness NBA players refuse to play on Sundays due to their religious convictions which can sometimes lead to fines or suspensions from the league for missing games without prior notice or permission from team management.
NBA players who are Jehovah’s Witnesses face a unique challenge. They have to balance their faith with their career, which can be tough. It’s not easy being in the spotlight and having to make decisions that go against your beliefs. But they do it with grace and dignity, showing that you can still be successful while staying true to yourself. Plus, they’re an inspiration for other JWs who want to pursue their dreams!
