Kelvin Green is a lifelong Seventh-day Adventist who played 1.5 seasons for Division 1 Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland, during which time, he did not have to play on the Sabbath. Kelvin talks about the blessings of his time there, and the tensions that grew because of his Sabbath agreement. Ultimately as Kelvin saw more success, he ended up on ESPN’s Cold Pizza morning show, talking about his Sabbath observance and the team dynamics at play with that unique situation. After this, Kelvin transferred to Division 2 California University of Pennsylvania to finish his playing career.

Kelvin reflects on his recruiting process as a high schooler and how the Sabbath affected the offers he received. He also gives advice to current prospects who are dealing with the Sabbath dilemma, and the guys discuss a number of topics related to Sabbath conviction and basketball.

Kelvin acknowledges that life after his playing career was tough at times. He watched friends continue on to play professionally, wishing he could get an opportunity while still observing the Sabbath. Recently, he was impressed to turn a new page in pursuing ministry, and now attends the Andrews University Theological Seminary in Michigan, where he’s entering his first year as an assistant coach for the men’s team at Andrews.
