I the second one, why does Jesus have two basketballs? Is Jesus a cheater?
'Twas a miracle! ![]()
Probably a mistranslation of Matthew 27:38. Some texts say “Then were there two basketballs with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.”
Whiy is Jesus being used as an attacker, we all know he Saves.
And Moses invests.
I’ve always liked this cartoon. Though Jesus is often credited with miraculous wins in baseball, football, basketball, and soccer, it turns out that the old dude has always just been a hockey fan …
Its AI generated crap that they don’t print out until someone buys it. My question would be why the algorithm targeted me for this sort of thing.
I clicked on the links, so I expect it to start showing up. Thanks
I buy more crap from Temu than I should. I agree w @Si_Amigo. They’re generating all sorts of images and will only make the product when bought. Clearly the NBA playoffs have something to do with triggering the basketball themes.
I’ve recently seen lots of greeting cards, printed t-shirts, and suddenly crap to hang on keychains. Sometimes the words are perfectly cromulent English. Sometimes they’re fine except for one nonsense non-word. Others are gibberish mostly written in our alphabet, although this last category seems to be declining as AIs get better at text as images.
Clicking through on any of them generates a ~week long flurry of similar-themed items.
Having followed the OP’s links I’m about to visit Temu this morning for my usual check-in. I’ll let you know if I’m assaulted by basketball, jeebus, or both. Neither of which I’ve seen before.
Surely a Jesus as a goalkeeper would be more biblically sound ![]()
The Biblical version of Jeebus, yes. But as best as I’ve been able to gather from historical reconstructions, the historical Jesus was a radical anti-Roman revolutionary. On a hockey team, he wouldn’t be the goalie that “saves”, he’d be “The Enforcer” who starts hockey fights and earns a 5-game suspension for putting a disfavoured member of the opposing team in the hospital for a month!
All three links say that the item has been sold.
The ‘related’ items are not.
ETA: It seems Jesus playing basketball is a meme.
A version of the painting is on Amazon:
This appears to be the meme:
But there are other versions
There’s a GIF

Jesus, there’s a ton of these
I just looked on the internet, and there are images of Jesus doing all kinds of sports –
baseball
hockey
surfing
football (Notre Dame has the Touchdown Jesus, after all)
skiing
parachuting
snowmobiling
water skiing
scuba diving
pole vaulting
marathining.
In fact, just about everything. I didn’t find jai alai, because tere are too many other Jesuses doing that. When I look for “sailing”, I find reproductions of “Storm on the Sea of Galilee”
I’m thinking this stuff is sold to the now-adult children of the people who spent the 1970s buying portraits of Elvis airbrushed onto black velvet.
Not only are there images of Kung Fu Jesus, we also have Chuck Norris in Heaven Teaching Jesus Kung Fu.
We’ve got Jesus cycling
Not many images of him Rock Climbing, and none of him rappelling.
We’;ve got Karate Jesus
Jiu Jitsu Jesus
Rollerblading Jesus
Skateboard Jesus
Skiboard Jesus
Jesus on a scooter
Motorcycle Jesus
Hang gliding Jesus
Cannonball Jesus (but not high diving)
Kayaking Jesus
Canoeing Jesus
Roller Coaster Jesus
Paintball Jesus
Pinball Jesus
Any sign of “Christ on a cracker” yet?
