“Attack moves” ball handling series 🏀

[Cover3 @Cover3_mx]

Maybe the most underrated reason Michael Jordan is the GOAT is this:

He spent his career closing arguments.

Early on, the criticism was that he was an incredible scorer who couldn't win.

Then he won.

He couldn't get past Detroit.

Then he swept them.

He couldn't win without dominating the ball.

Then he bought into Phil Jackson's system, trusted his teammates, and built a dynasty.

One championship could be circumstance.

So he won three straight.

Then he walked away at the absolute summit of the sport.

Surely that was the end.

He came back.

Then came 72 wins, another MVP, another scoring title, another championship.

Maybe the first three-peat belonged to a younger, more athletic Jordan.

Fine.

He reinvented himself and won three more.

By 35, the explosiveness had faded, defenses knew everything he wanted to do, and an entire generation had grown up studying him.

He still won the MVP, the scoring title, the championship and Finals MVP.

Again.

That is what separates Jordan for me.

His career does not require much alternate history. You don't need endless “what ifs.” You don't need to explain what might have happened under different circumstances.

The criticisms arrived.

Jordan answered them.

Then another criticism arrived.

He answered that one too.

By the time he walked away from Chicago, there were almost no basketball questions left for him to answer.

Most great players leave behind arguments about what they could have done.

Michael Jordan spent his prime turning those arguments into things he had already done.

If you listen to Cain, he will tell you that righteous Abel was the problem.

If you listen to Potiphar’s wife, she will tell you that righteous Joseph was the wicked man.

If you listen to Pharaoh, he will tell you that Moses was an enemy of the state.

If you listen to Saul, he will tell you that loyal David was a traitor.

If you listen to Haman, he will convince you that Mordecai was a dangerous enemy.

If you listen to Ahab and Jezebel, they will tell you that Elijah, the prophet of God, was the troublemaker.

If you listen to the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, they will tell you that the sinless Jesus was a blasphemer.

If you listen to Judas Iscariot, he will find a way to justify betrayal.

If you listen to Pontius Pilate, he will wash his hands while Truth stands directly in front of him.

And if you listen to the world, do not be surprised when it calls righteousness evil and evil good.

My friends, listen carefully: a lie does NOT become Truth simply because it is repeated loudly, confidently, or by powerful people.

Be careful what you hear.
Be careful whom you believe.
Be careful whom you follow.

Test everything by the Word of God.

The world may condemn you for standing for Biblical Truth but the only verdict that ultimately matters is His!!!

Stand firm. Stand faithful. And above all, listen to Jesus.

Your Culture is not just what you intentionally build. It’s what you unintentionally allow.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Satan is not opposed to good morals.

He’s opposed to Jesus Christ.

Read that again because most Christians miss this completely.

Satan doesn’t care if you’re a “good person.” He doesn’t care if you volunteer at the food bank, recycle your trash, and help old ladies cross the street. He doesn’t care if you’re kind, generous, and well-liked by everyone in your community.

He cares that you don’t bow the knee to Jesus.

Here’s the deception that’s damning millions:

Satan has convinced people that morality equals spirituality. That being a “good person” is the same as being a Christian. That if you just live right, treat people well, and avoid the “big sins,” you’re acceptable to God.

This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.

The Pharisees had impeccable morals. They followed the law meticulously. They were respected, disciplined, and religiously devoted.

Jesus called them children of the devil.
Why? Not because their morals were bad. Because their morals replaced Christ.
Satan’s greatest trick isn’t making bad people worse. It’s making good people think they don’t need a Savior.

Think about it:

The atheist who feeds the homeless thinks he’s good enough without God.

The Buddhist who meditates and practices compassion thinks she’s enlightened without Christ.

The Muslim who prays five times daily thinks he’s righteous without Jesus.

The moral Christian who goes to church, pays his tithe, and avoids scandal thinks he’s saved without surrender.

All of them are headed to the same place: eternal separation from God.

Because morality doesn’t save. Jesus saves.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

Satan loves moral people who reject Jesus. They’re his best advertisement for the lie that you can earn your way to heaven.

They’re living proof that you can:

•Be kind without Christ
•Be generous without God
•Be disciplined without the Holy Spirit
•Be respected without redemption

And still be lost.

The most dangerous people in hell won’t be the murderers and rapists. They’ll be the moral, upstanding citizens who thought their goodness was good enough.

Their morals became their idol. Their goodness became their god.

And Satan smiled because he’d accomplished his goal: Keep them from Jesus.

Here’s what most Christians don’t understand:

Satan doesn’t need to make you do bad things. He just needs to keep you from doing the ONE thing that matters: surrendering to Christ.

If he can get you to:

•Trust your morals instead of Christ’s sacrifice

•Rely on your goodness instead of God’s grace

•Believe in your works instead of Jesus’ finished work

He’s won.

You can live a moral life and still die lost. You can be a good person and still face judgment. You can avoid all the “big sins” and still end up separated from God forever.
Because the only sin that damns you eternally is rejecting Jesus Christ.

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36

Not the murderer who repents and believes in Christ is damned.

Not the thief who turns to Jesus on the cross is damned.

Not the prostitute who washes Jesus’ feet with her tears is damned.

The moral, religious person who rejects Christ is damned.

That’s why Satan loves morality without Jesus. It sends people to hell with a smile on their face, convinced they were good enough.

Stop trusting your morals. Start trusting Jesus.

Your goodness won’t save you. Your works won’t redeem you. Your morality won’t justify you.

Only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away your sin and make you acceptable to a holy God.

Everything else is just Satan’s distraction from the one thing that actually matters.

@Anthony_Pugh2 Anthony great breakdown of the 1-2 step into a shot. Looks like what we taught our players dribbling into a shot. Likened it to just taking a walk. If you can walk or run you can learn how to 1-2 step into a shot. Great stuff!!! Keep up the good work man.

Can I whisper a truth to whatever hurt is in your heart? Pushing Jesus away will not give you any of the comfort or relief you are looking for.

Hope is only found in Him.
