At Be Like David, we believe we’ve uncovered what we call the Gospel of the Game — the sacred order that governs everything that happens on the court.

 

Basketball, like life, is not random. It is ruled by laws, rooted in physics, positioning, timing, and wisdom. When those laws are followed, there is prosperity. There is progress. There is mastery. When ignored, there is chaos, frustration, and defeat.

​

Over time, we’ve learned that athletes express three states of mind:

​

• Players — They know the laws of the game, but choose not to follow them.

• Hoopers — They rely on their own understanding, unaware of the laws that govern the game.

• Students — The few who know the law and obey it.
   

“By their fruits ye shall know them.” — Matthew 7:16

 

On the court, the truth is always revealed. Every possession is a test. Every play is a moment of judgment. Will you apply your knowledge — or fall to ignorance, impulse, or pride?

​

Just as Scripture says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” So it is in basketball. Most players don’t fail from lack of effort — they fail from lack of understanding.

​

We exist to teach the laws of the game.

​

Not trends. Not tricks. Not false confidence. But truth — the unchanging principles that allow any player to grow, compete, and play with clarity and purpose.

​

To us, basketball is more than a sport.
It’s a path to wisdom.
It’s a mirror of the Gospel.
It’s Life.

​

Shalom — and welcome to Be Like David.
