But it wasn’t exactly a Hallmark moment. Magic didn’t play
blindfolded, or with both arms tied behind his back. He didn’t give the kid a
break at all. He played him straight up, and it went like you’d imagine. Like
an NBA superstar effortlessly smoking a seventh grader from the neighborhood.
Do you ever think what it was like when Jesus’ enemies tried
to take Him down on points of the Law? Or when they tried to embarrass Him
publicly? It was like Magic playing a toddler. Like Roger Federer serving
against a scarecrow.
