Less than a week after being waived by the Chicago Bulls, Jaden Ivey took his message to the streets of Chicago, openly preaching about his Christian faith.

In a viral video, Ivey declared, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” as he shared the Gospel publicly. His release came after he criticized the NBA’s promotion of Pride Month, calling it “unrighteousness,” and later questioned the team’s reasoning, asking, “How is it conduct detrimental to the team?”

Ivey pushed back strongly against the decision, saying, “They’re lying… All I’m preaching about is Jesus Christ, and they waived me,” while supporters praised him for standing firm, with some saying he “chose Jesus over the league.”
