<a href="/profile/JCole" class="text-word" target="_blank" >J. Cole</a> is a man of many talents beyond just music. While most fans are still listening to his new project The Off-Season, Cole has been focusing on other <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/j-cole-links-up-with-kevin-durant-and-talks-about-pro-basketball-debut-news.132019.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ventures such as his newfound pro basketball career</a>. Cole recently signed with the Rwanda Patriots of the Basketball Africa League and this morning, he is making his debut with the team. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/j-cole-officially-signs-with-basketball-africa-league-team-news.131680.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">He is slated to play between three to six games this season</a> and fans have been excited to see whether or not he can keep up with the opposition.
Early on in today&#8217;s game, Cole was able to check into the game and he&#8217;s played quite a few minutes to start. At first, it seemed as though Cole was mostly making his moves on the defensive end thanks to a plethora of stops and solid rotations. However, Cole was able to break through and get his first points as a pro, off of a rebound.

In the Twitter clip below, Cole was seen trailing his teammate who couldn&#8217;t get the layup to go. That&#8217;s when Cole grabbed the rebound and made no mistake getting the basket. While it wasn&#8217;t the smoothest basket you&#8217;ll ever see, it&#8217;s definitely a shot that he will never forget.
It remains to be seen how much of an impact he&#8217;ll make throughout the rest of the game, although his performance has been promising thus far.
