THE MAG: For our readers who may only know about your rap career, can you speak on your experience growing up?
Cam’Ron: Well I grew up in New York City: Harlem, New York. I played ball for probably two of the biggest amateur basketball organizations in the city. One being the Gauchos, the other being the Riverside Hawks. I went to Manhattan Center High School. I never graduated, but I came out of high school Top 25 in the country in the class of 1994. I ended up going to a junior college called Navarro Junior College in Texas, which is in between Dallas and Waco. I tore my hamstring when I was there, and I redshirted my first year. And when I came back home, I ended up getting back into the music business. I didn’t get a chance to get back into sports because music started taking off for me. That’s kinda how my basketball career went.
As a top recruit, were any major colleges looking at you?
Yeah, definitely. I had University of Miami and Georgetown looking. There was also some interest from Wyoming and USC. But, you know, I was being a knucklehead, being a kid. My senior year of high school, we went the whole season 24-0, and lost in the first round of the playoffs. When we lost, I was so devastated I didn’t go back to school. I was just, like, pissed off about it, so I ended up getting my GED and the University of Miami put me on to the junior college in Texas, and I was supposed to transfer when I finished up at Navarro.
We heard you played with Ma$e on your high school team, what was that like?
Yeah, he played for Riverside and Gauchos too. We ended up seeing a lot of each other in high school. You know, he was a point guard and I was a 2-guard, so it was a lot of fun.
