6. Luke Kennard
Another Christian in the NBA is 28-year-old Luke Kennard, now with the Memphis Grizzlies. At Duke, where he played college ball for two years, Kennard was teammates with Jayson Tatum, a Boston Celtics standout and fellow Christian.
When Kennard declared for the NBA draft in 2017, he shared gratitude for his blessings and opportunities. “God has taken me on an unbelievable journey,” the athlete wrote, “and he continues to allow me to live through Him!”
Kennard’s social media bios feature Romans 8:28, a verse he has pinned on X. He has credited his family’s strong support for his athletic pursuits, which began in childhood. Now Kennard is a father himself; last month, he and wife Anna had a baby boy, named Porter.
