Trey Jemison (New York Knicks)
Knicks center Trey Jemison is a devout Christian whose poor play on Clemson's basketball team nearly cost him a future in the NBA. His faith grew in college, but his average points per game fell to a dismal 0.4 during his freshman year and 1.7 during his sophomore season.
Jemison was ready to quit – but he turned to God instead.
"There's no way I should be in the NBA," he has said. "I'm in a place I shouldn't have been because of God."
His career survived the slow start, and Jemison now plays for the New York Knicks. One way he shares the Gospel is by hosting short, interactive Bible studies on Instagram. He makes God's Word easy to understand, encouraging his 34,000+ followers to read along with him and urges people to apply Scripture to their own lives.
