Speaking this week in a video posted to his YouTube channel, Griffin said that he is dedicating his life to Jesus Christ and would like to become a full-time minister.
“To bring it all down to a short summary, I gave up basketball to follow Jesus,” he said.
“I know that in a lot of people’s eyes, this seems like a loss, but I just want to let you guys know I’m super excited because I truly get to serve God with my full Yes.
feel like letting go of basketball is allowing me to go into full-time ministry and truly serve the Lord with all my heart, with all my time too, as well. I’m just excited where that leads me.
“I just want to go through the steps of how I came to this realization that I want to let go of basketball and follow God.”
“This really has to start off with me giving my life to Christ in 2020. I truly accepted him back then, He found me. I know we say we find God, but He finds us.”
Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray, a former teammate of Griffin’s in Atlanta, responded to the announcement.
