At this point, J. Cole’s love for basketball is well known. Not only does the rapper and producer frequently reference the NBA in his music, he played for Rwanda in the Basketball Africa League last year. In college, he nearly made the team at St. John’s as a walk-on, and last September, the 37-year-old practiced with the Orlando Magic.
We can debate about how good Cole actually is, but it’s clear he’s got a little game and isn’t ready to give up on playing professionally. This year, the Fayetteville, North Carolina, native is taking his talents to the Canadian Elite Basketball League as a member of the Scarborough Shooting Stars, the CEBL announced Thursday.
