    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/41347063/sources-aj-griffin-mull-nba-future-rockets-buyout

    AJ Griffin officially announced the reason for the suspension of his career.

    «I quit basketball to follow Jesus, and I understand that in the eyes of many people it looks like a loss.

    It seems to me that giving up basketball will allow me to fully devote myself to serving and truly serve the Lord with all my heart.

    I thought that basketball — is the reason I live, but when I came to God, he showed me that we are all created to glorify God. We are all created for a specific purpose given by God », – said forward.

    Griffin was selected under the 16th number of the draft 2022.

    good for him, i suppose. i'll be curious to see what he means, exactly. is he interested in becoming a pastor, or is like, for real going to go out there and feed the hungry, etc. really impressed if it's the latter.

    A great dude and made the NBA a better place. It seems so many ex players go around just s***ting on the league to try to protect their legacies instead of just being cool like Dikembe

    That sucks IMO. Why the exception for Ballmer’s place? Way to go Newsome. I’d imagine lawsuits will follow wanting the same exceptions elsewhere.

    mutombo and rose were going opposite directions on the elevator. not only did rose break the golden rule of pro sports, but he was a POS off the field too

    ballmer's trying to recreate the forum club

    problem with that is that you need a team people actually care about and and want to be associated with. and the clippers are........not that team
