Thoroughly Converted

“As soon as I stopped doing drugs, stopped drinking, stopped treating women badly, stopped playing selfishly on the court, that’s when people were like, ‘Hey Wayne, what’s wrong with you? What’s going on? I’m worried about you,’ ” Simien says. “Now you’re worried about me? After I stopped doing all these things?”

Thanks to Tim Nobles who alerted me to this compelling article in the Kansas City Star about the Christian convictions of former Kansas and Miami Heat star, Wayne Simien. It's an inspirational story and (for a secular newspaper) particularly well reported by J. Brady McCullough.
