Not Jesus Christ, but Christ Koumadje out of FSU:
The Philadelphia 76ers will sign Christ Koumadje, undrafted 7’4 centre out of Florida State, to a free agent deal. Koumadje started all 37 games last season and averaged 6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 15.5 minutes per game.

Christ went to Montverde Academy in Florida, where Ben Simmons attended high school. He’s 7’4″, 264 pounds, just a monstrous human being who was born in Chad, moved to Senegal, and then came to the United States.
Overall: Christ Koumadje is a force that is hard to stop if used right … He only played 15 minutes per game in his senior year but was definitely productive during those … He needs to continue to learn to use his body to his advantage as well as expand his overall offensive game … He is great for setting effective screens and running the pick and roll.
Notes: Having not picked up a basketball until high school .., it is interesting to see just how far this young man has come. He has a unique skill-set for his size which is rare … A 7’4, 265 lb. guy who can run the floor with that type of speed and quickness is unusual … He has shown improvement throughout his four-year career at Florida State and could be a hidden gem of a prospect …
Hmm.. I can think of another African guy who didn’t pick up a basketball until he was a teenager…
Christ worked out for the Sixers before the draft, video after the jump:
(It’s actually pronounced ‘Krist,’ so the Jesus joke doesn’t work, but I wanted to use it anyway)

I look forward to the new players sixers failing and not winning a championship.
I often wonder why any player would want to come to such a poorly run team
with a middling chance of winning a championship.
IT HAS TO BE THE MONEY!
The “Freak” putting down a vicious dunk on Christ and Zoo say Christ got crucified on that one. And then Ala interjects and says Marc, I don’t think Christ is going to rise after that slam.
Hey Kinker,
Do you post useless meaningless articles on purpose just to get clicks?
Be honest!
Jesus did it for the clicks
