It’s only taken six days since signing a contract with the Basketball Africa League’s Rwanda’s Patriots B.B.C that J. Cole has made his professional basketball debut.
The American rapper, who released his new album The Off-Season last week, has played the first of what will be three to six games with the Patriots on Sunday.
Cole ended the match with three points including this well-taken put-back layup in transition, his first bucket as a professional basketball player:
