Baller Transformed // AKA White Jesus
by Chris Harvey on 04/22/09
Over at Bounce Magazine, Issue #14, The White Issue, caught my attention and looked like an interesting read. The issue examined and paid homage to white basketball players that made an impact on the NYC courts.
**Update: On the cover is Jack “Black Jack” Ryan and inside features a major article of a playground legend Billy Rieser, aka White Jesus, who could rise with the best of them.** (Thanks Bobbito Garcia, from Bounce, for the correction).
Back in March, this post reintroduced Bill Rieser’s story and announced a new book that he is releasing.
The new book is entitled, They Called Me White Jesus, and highlights his journey from the playing days in East Harlem to his transformed life and sense of purpose through Christianity.
The trailer below gives a brief teaser. Another book that I will be adding to my reading list!

Baller 21-
thanks for the shine on our magazine! Slight correction, though–playground legend Jack “Black Jack” Ryan graces issue #14, not Billy Rieser (who is featured with a big article inside). We also recently did a Puerto Rico themed issue this March which you may enjoy as well.
on the release,
