NBA player Jaden Ivey<\/a> went on a social media tirade after being waived from the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The Bulls claimed Ivey was waived for “conduct detrimental to the team” after he made comments critical of pride month, citing his Christian faith.<\/p>\n

In a series of Instagram live posts, Ivey gave his thoughts on being waived by the Bulls<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re liars, bro. This is lying,” Ivey said in one Instagram live. “They\u2019re lying saying my conduct is detrimental to the team. That\u2019s a lie. Ask any one of them coaches in there, \u2018Was I a good teammate?\u2019 All I\u2019m preaching about is Jesus Christ and they waived me. They say I\u2019m crazy, right? I\u2019m psycho.<\/p>\n

“They gonna try to stop me but I\u2019m not, I\u2019m going to keep speaking the truth. That\u2019s why everybody around me turning their back on me because of my faith. I didn\u2019t get myself waived. I was in the gym today, I was rehabbing, lifting, and doing what was required of me in my job\u2026 I could\u2019ve quit on my own self but they kicked me out.”<\/p>\n

Ivey later spoke about his addiction to pornography and how Christianity helped him overcome it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Before I came to the Lord Jesus Christ, the NBA was everything to me,” Ivey said in one livestream. “I didn\u2019t know God. I didn\u2019t know Jesus when I came to the NBA. I was a fornicator, I was a pornography addict and I used to get drunk. That\u2019s all I knew. And after a win, and after all those points, I felt good\u2026 I felt like I had everything set out for me.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ivey also appeared to criticize Steph Curry and LeBron James<\/a>, questioning their devotion to Christianity.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s why you got Steph Curry\u2026 he don\u2019t know Jesus, and I pray he comes to the truth, that him and his family be saved in Jesus name\u2026 ” Ivey said. “All them rings he got, all them rings LeBron got, all them rings Michael Jordan got, all them people in the Hall of Fame who don\u2019t know Jesus Christ \u2014 No. It\u2019s not gonna matter on Judgment Day if you don\u2019t know Jesus and your name is not written in the book of life.”<\/p>\n

PATRIOTS STAR APPEARS TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR EX-BULLS PLAYER AFTER RANT AGAINST NBA’S PRIDE MONTH CELEBRATION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ivey\u2019s video calling out the league was posted on Monday morning, as he said it was “unrighteousness” that the NBA would celebrate Pride Month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” Ivey said in that video. “They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, \u2018Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.\u2019 They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim in the streets. Unrighteousness. So, how is it that one can\u2019t speak righteousness? Who are they to say that this man is crazy?”<\/p>\n

Ivey also said in a different video that Catholicism was a “false religion,” which comes as a potential issue for Ivey\u2019s mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ivey was the fifth overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Pistons, who hoped he would be a key piece in their rebuild. He was solid to start his career, making the 2022-23 NBA All-Rookie team after averaging 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, while shooting 41.6% from the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ivey was traded to the Bulls as part of a three-team deal involving his previous Detroit Pistons<\/u><\/a> and the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

He posted a career-high 17.6 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign, as the Purdue product looked to be hitting his stride.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Ivey saw a regression in his production this year, primarily playing off the bench for the Pistons before the trade.<\/p>\n

Ivey played just four games with the Bulls, averaging 11.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game before his release.<\/p>\n
