Retired NBA Star J.R. Smith Set To Graduate From North Carolina A&T State University, Next Month

Let’s hear it for J.R. Smith!

The two-time #NBA champion will graduate from North Carolina A&T State University during the school’s spring commencement ceremonies next month. Smith, who entered the NBA straight from high school, enrolled at N.C. A&T in 2021 and has been working toward his degree while balancing life after the league. During his time at the university, he even joined the Aggies golf team. Local news reports that Smith is expected to speak during commencement about his experience at the #HBCU. Attendees and graduates are in for an additional treat, as Queen Latifah will be the commencement speaker.

Congrats to #JRSmith and his fellow N.C. A&T graduates!
