Rick Ross Defends J. Cole Decision To Join Africa Basketball League!

To be honest, J. Cole has been doing really well when it comes to him playing for the Africa Basketball League. Find out why Rick Ross defends J. Cole…

CelebnMusic247.com has that Rick Ross weighs in on J. Cole, who followed his dreams when he announced his professional basketball debut with the Rwanda-based Patriots Basketball Club (Patriots BBC), part of the Basketball Africa League (BAL).

The only problem is that not everyone felt the same way, except for Rick Ross.

In response to J. Cole‘s performance on the court, Terrell Stoglin called his presence “disrespectful” and suggested that he is undeserving of the opportunity.

Stoglin said:

I think he took someone’s job that deserves it. I live in a basketball world. I don’t live in a fan world. I know a lot of guys that had their careers stopped by COVID and they’re still home working out and training for an opportunity like this. For a guy who has so much money and has another career to just come here and average, like, one point a game and still gets glorified is very disrespectful to the game. It’s disrespectful to the ones who sacrificed their whole lives for this.

I don’t really pay attention to that type of stuff. I’m more [concerned that] he took someone’s job that deserved it.

However, Stoglin also acknowledged that J. Cole‘s presence on the court would bring in more attention and money.

He added:

I don’t really pay attention to that type of stuff. I’m more [concerned that] he took someone’s job that deserved it.

Though Terrell Stoglin made a valid point, Rick Ross is backing J. Cole‘s decision to enter professional sports–and shutting down the nay-sayers.

Despite Stoglin’s valid points, it looks like Rick Ross decided to defend Cole.

Ross said:

In no way is this meant to be disrespectful but first and foremost, should no Black man’s dreams be censored nor limited. And comin’ from a brother, I think you would understand what building these types of relationships would do for the business. For the eyes on the industry, you know what I’m sayin’?

He continued:

If your father owned the team, and he had to decide between you and Cole, I believe he would find it honorable if you stepped down and let J. Cole brings what he bringin’ to the industry. More importantly, brother, you should be there to support the brother. If he made one point on the first game, by the time he get to the 10th, you should make sure he makin’ six a game, you understand? If Cristiano Ronaldo bought the team, you would be there for the ribbon-cutting, brother.
