NBA player quits basketball to pursue ministry

US National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball player A.J. Griffin has announced he is retiring from basketball to pursue Christian ministry.

The 21-year-old has only played two seasons in the division, but told fans on YouTube that letting go of basketball is allowing him ‘to go into full-time ministry and truly serve the Lord with all my heart, and with all my time too.’ Griffin said that although it ‘may seem like a loss in the world’s eyes,’ he is ‘super excited because I truly get to serve God with my full yes.’
