J. Cole’s basketball career over the years
Jermaine Lamarr Cole, better known by his professional name as J Cole, has come out about his love of basketball as a kid. J Cole was a Division I men’s basketball walk-on who never turned up after pursuing a career in music. Cole’s lyrics and those who observed his transformation into one of the rap world’s most enjoyable forces were forever changed by his two years of varsity high school basketball and a period practicing with his college’s women’s team. J. Cole signed a deal with Rwanda’s Patriots BBC to play in the inaugural Basketball Africa League last year in which during the season, the rapper was scheduled to appear in three to six games for the African team.
Ahead of his inaugural season with the Scarborough Shooting Stars.
J. Cole departed from Rwanda due to a “family obligation” last year and came back once again this year to make an appearance for his CEBL debut with the Scarborough Shooting Stars. Cole joined with the Shooting Stars in May after he was apparently put in touch with the correct individuals to test out for the squad by Drake’s associate who co-owns the Shooting stars. “As far as the talent that he has, he’s played this game at a professional level in Africa, so, this is his second stint. It’s gonna be fun and something that is great for the city of Scarborough and Toronto.” said the former NBA player and Vice President of Shooting Stars, Jamaal Magloire.
