Jonathan Isaac isn’t only Orlando’s 2017 NBA Rookie, he’s the author of the book “Why I Stand”, an autobiography explaining why he chooses to stand for the flag. In June 2020, when corporations began to politicize the George Floyd murder and riots and pressure for black celebrities to support the cause, Isaac took a long hard look at everything going on in the world, and he decided that the Word of God is what humanity needed most to heal from the tragedy. Jonathan Isaac not only stands as a role model to young free thinkers, his faith and love for Jesus Christ is what gave him the ability to discern fact from fiction in an environment of immense pressure to just “go along to get along”.
