GOAT: Air Jesus

This has been bugging me for the longest time. The what-if question of... Jesus Christ playing basketball! Indeed, the question begs, what if The Son of Man decided to come down and play professional hoops... In the National Basketball Association. Fret not (religion) fanatics, there is zero blasphemy in this. So much so i thought He appeared to me the last couple of nights telling, and inspiring me to write this particular piece...





















Now, we know by now God works in mysterious ways and Jesus might as well follow his Father's lead because this was the message that he told me: "Sure that Michael Jordan guy can walk in the air, but can he walk on water?" Jesus talking trash? i know then deep deep inside that it's His will that i prove that He could have been the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in basketball history. (Heck, remove the word basketball)

And proofs i have:

Jesus > Michael Jordan

Jesus Walks on the Water - Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. (Matthew 14: 22-16)

Self-explanatory really. We've seen footages of Jordan walking (flying) in the air (most notably in Space Jam) in various clips. You don't need clips for the water-walk, do you?

Jesus Trusts His Coach

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46)

A lot of players today does not trust their head coach. Jesus is not one of them. He listens to His mentor and as the passage above describes, He is willing to give in to the coach's whims.

Jesus could even be an Adidas endorser:

Jesus looked at them and said: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:25)

Jesus > Paul Pierce

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 4:16)

Paul Pierce is known as The Truth. Well, Jesus is way more than that, he is the way and the life as well. We know so much about how versatile Paul's game is... But with The Son of Man claiming he has more, it speaks of His versatility as well meaning he could be averaging a triple double these days. Also worth noting is his dedication to defense ("... Except through me.")

That's just five reasons why i think he is the GOAT. THERE ARE MORE. i can't give you a link on where i get such quotes. You have to search it yourself. Maybe even, search yourself.
