JR Smith played 1,117 NBA games over his 16-year career. He earned an estimated $90.3 million for his work and has two championship rings to show for it. He's also hoping he still has a bit of NCAA eligibility left.
Now 35 years old and retired from pro basketball, Smith is going back to school, enrolling at N.C. A&T and just maybe joining the HBCU's golf team. Speaking to reporters at the Wyndham Championship Pro-Am in North Carolina on Wednesday, Smith confirmed he'll begin taking classes on August 18 and is waiting for the NCAA clearinghouse to rule on whether or not he'll be allowed to play golf at the collegiate level.
