Alright, so ya wanna know how many NBA players are Jehovah’s Witnesses, huh? Well, it ain’t exactly a straightforward thing, see? It’s kinda like countin’ chickens – they keep movin’ around, and some ya just don’t see.
From what I hear, there ain’t a whole lot of ’em. Some folks say there’s only one right now playin’ in the NBA. That fella, Dewayne Dedmon, plays for the Miami Heat, or so they tell me. Used to be a couple more, Danny Granger and Darren Collison, both played for the Indiana Pacers at one point.
Now, Granger, he was somethin’ else. Folks remember him, played for 11 seasons, pretty good player from what I gather. Averaged a good chunk of points each game, they say. Collison, he was a point guard, played for a bunch of teams – Pacers, Sacramento, Dallas, New Orleans… bounced around a bit, ya know?
- Dewayne Dedmon (Miami Heat)
- Danny Granger (Former player)
- Darren Collison (Former player)
But then ya hear other things, ya know? Some say there’s more than just these fellas. I heard whispers of over 10 players, past and present, who followed that faith. Names like Michael Adams, Mark Jackson, Reggie Theus, Thurl Bailey… See? It gets confusing. It’s like tryin’ to remember all your grandkids’ birthdays – there’s just too many!
Thing is, some players, they might keep their beliefs private. Ain’t nobody’s business but their own, I reckon. So, we might not know about all of ’em. It’s like tryin’ to count all the stars in the sky – ya just can’t see ’em all.
And then there’s the ones who used to be Jehovah’s Witnesses but ain’t no more. Heard tell there’s a whole bunch of folks worldwide who left the faith. Can’t say I know the details, but it’s like folks movin’ in and out of town – hard to keep track.
There was some talk about Danny Granger, somethin’ about him and a comedian, Brittany Schmitt. Folks were gossiping, ya know how it is. Don’t know if it’s true or not, but it just goes to show ya, these players, they got lives outside of basketball, just like the rest of us.
So, if ya ask me how many NBA players are Jehovah’s Witnesses, I gotta say, I ain’t got a firm number. Maybe just the one fella playin’ now, maybe a few more in the past. It’s a bit of a mystery, like tryin’ to figure out what the weather’s gonna be next week. Ya just gotta take it day by day, I guess.
But one thing’s for sure, whether they’re Jehovah’s Witnesses or somethin’ else, these players are talented folks. They work hard, play hard, and entertain us all. And that’s somethin’ to appreciate, no matter what they believe in.
So next time you’re watchin’ a game, remember, there’s more to these players than just basketball. They got families, beliefs, and lives just like you and me. And that’s somethin’ to think about.
