"So, I am walking with faith and that's all that matters. Irving would be far from first athlete who has fasted during the NBA season. The All-Star guard dropped a game-high 39 points in Game 1 on Sunday afternoon (3:30 p.m. start time) and wouldn't have eaten before or during that game if he fasted for Ramadan. “It’s something that’s saved my life in a lot of ways. "We hold our prayers and our meditations very sacred and when you come out here, I mean, God's inside me, God's inside you, God's inside all of us.
