In one of the best back-to-school storylines — a real-life mix of “Billy Madison” and “Happy Gilmore” — J.R. Smit🍌h is offi♔cially a college man. And thankfully, he’s tweeting his way through it in a way only he can.
Smith enrolled at North Carolina A&T this month, aiming for a degree in liberal studies. As of this week, he is also a member of the Aggies’ golf team after the NCAA officially granted the 16-year NBA vet, who will turn ඣ36 on Sept. 9, eligibility.
The New Jersey native, who was drafted 18th-overall out of Newark’s St. Benedict’s Prep by New Orleans in 2004, played parts oꦓf four seasons for the Knicks, from 2012-15.
Smith took to Twitter on Wednesday to share his experience of going b✅ack to class.
“I’m about to start texting/tweeting in full sentences using punctuation and s–t… Homies going to be like ꧂‘who diss,’” Smith wrote with two crying laughing e🍃mojis.
And if you think th🌞e two-time NBA champ isn’t actually doing the work himself? He has news for you.
“Everyone around the city keep asking me ‘whღo you got doing your work’ S–t me lol I’m really trying to learn something tf,” he tweeted.
Sm𒈔ith continued liv♚e tweeting his educational endeavor on Thursday: “First tutoring session in the books! I really like Mrs. Burke extremely helpful.”
He later ౠadded, “Finished my Engl🔜ish homework. Dope short story about a little girl with six brothers and seeking parents approval. Dope reading.”
While the former Knicks guard may be sharing a relatable🍎 college experience in the classroom, there’s no ramen on the menu fo🍎r this college student. In response to a follower asking him if he has a meal plan, he tweeted back, “Yea on my American Express.”
Smith will get his first chance on the course when the Aggies golf𓄧 team tees off their season on Sept. 24 at the Black College Gol🐟f Coaches Association Invitational in Newnan, Ga.
