Money, fame, and talent can be the top priorities for most professional athletes, but for Harrison Barnes, it’s his relationship with God that comes first. He is a Christian.
Ever since he was young he grew up in the church. His faith has always been a big reason why he plays. On the inside of his shoes he has TGBTG, which is ‘To God Be The Glory’ and he just plays for Him. He realizes how blessed he is, how fortunate he is. There is a lot of people in this world that love the game of basketball and want to play the game of basketball. Where the game has taken him, how good it has been to himself, his family, the communities he has touched…he just realizes it is not his work, but His.
