JR Smith is sharing his college journey, and we’re all rooting for him
Posted Sep 9, 2021
J.R. Smith decided to go to college after a 16-year NBA career. On the brink of his 36th birthday, Smith has enrolled at North Carolina A&T, an HBCU in Greensboro, where he’s a liberal studies major and has been deemed eligible by the NCAA to play for the golf team. Smith famously entered the 2004 NBA Draft out of high school instead of going to UNC.
