Summary
J. Cole, a 41-year-old rapper, has signed a contract with the Nanjing Monkey Kings of the Chinese Basketball Association. This is not his first stint playing professional basketball overseas, as he has previously played for the Rwanda Patriots in the Basketball Africa League and the Scarborough Shooting Stars in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Cole hinted at the news in an interview with Revolt, saying he wanted to scratch a last itch by playing professional basketball.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Cole’s announcement felt like a predictable move from someone who’s already dabbled in professional basketball overseas.
He’s not getting any younger, and this might be his last shot to prove himself on the court.
Cole’s already got a foot in the door with his ownership stake in the Charlotte Hornets, so this is just another way for him to scratch that basketball itch.
This move feels like a “last hurrah” for Cole, who’s already had a successful music career.
This one felt recognizable early.
