Scenario: It’s Jesus’ pick in the NBA Draft. Instead of choosing one of the biggest, strongest, fastest players, Jesus drafts someone extremely unlikely. (For a fun satire of Jesus as an NBA player, check it out in The Onion.)
Main Point: Jesus sees great potential where others see nothing.
Characters:
- Jesus - General manager and coach of the Chicago Bulls (or other NBA franchise).
- Commissioner - NBA Commissioner, dressed in a suit and tie.
- Mick Mickelson - Sports Reporter dressed sloppily with pen and notepad, maybe a tape recorder. (This character should be either very small or rather rotund)
Commissioner: Congratulations to the Houston Rockets for their exceptional choice of the 6 foot 10 forward from UCLA, Jerome Montablo. Next up for the 21st pick in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft, we have Jesus making the choice for the Chicago Bulls.
[Jesus joins the Commissioner at the podium.]
Commissioner: Jesus, welcome to the NBA. Let me tell you, we are all excited to see your first draft pick as General Manager and Head Coach. After your exceptional career as an athlete yourself, the world is waiting and watching to see if you can transfer that success to young players.
Jesus: Thank you Commissioner. I’m glad to be here. I’ve had my eye on this young player for quite some time. I think he has tremendous potential. Of course, like all rookies, he has a ways to grow, but I think he will eventually accomplish even more than me.
