J.R. Smith, 35, is enrolling at North Carolina A&T, a historically Black university, and is considering competing for the school's Division I golf team.
SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the NBA draft and who set themselves up for success ahead of the 2021-22 season.When J.R. Smith retired from the NBA after 16 years, it seemed as if his athletic career had come to its natural conclusion.
In high school, Smith committed to the University of North Carolina, but he decided to become a professional before enrolling. Since he never attended college, Smith still has four years of NCAA athletic eligibility should he choose to use them. Smith said he was inspired to go back to college to pursue his degree after talking with Hall of Famer Ray Allen and current Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul about their experiences returning to school. However, neither Allen nor Paul have attempted to play college sports other than basketball.
