JR Smith Invites LeBron James to Play College Football

JR Smith showed all professional athletes that it’s never too late to go back to school when he enrolled at North Carolina A&T and walked onto its golf team last fall.

Now, he’s trying to see if LeBron James would be interested in doing something similar.

After Smith was named North Carolina A&T’s Academic Athlete of the Year for earning a 4.0 GPA during the 2021–22 season, his former Cavaliers and Lakers teammate took to Twitter to congratulate him. In response, the NBA shooting guard-turned-collegiate golfer suggested that James should let him know if he’s ever considering going back to school.
