J.R. Smith, a two-time NBA Champion, will graduate from North Carolina A&T State University on May 9 with a Bachelor of Arts in liberal studies–applied cultural thought. He maintained a 4.0 GPA while enrolled and was named Academic Athlete of the Year for 2021-22. Smith joined the university's men's golf program after enrolling and was featured in the Prime Video docuseries Redefined. The former NBA player decided to forgo college to enter the 2004 NBA draft but has since pursued higher education. Smith's educational path is seen as encouragement that it's never too late to pursue higher education and redefine personal goals. Grammy-Award-winning artist Queen Latifah is scheduled to be the speaker at the 2026 commencement services in Greensboro, North Carolina.
