In an
interview with ESPN the Magazine, Cam'Ron spoke in detail about his high school basketball career. He said that his high school team at Manhattan Center went 24-0 his senior year before losing in the first round of the playoffs.
He also said that he was considered a Top 25 player in high school and was drawing interest from Miami, Georgetown, Wyoming and USC. After dropping out of high school and getting his GED, Cam'Ron said Miami set him up with Navarro Junior College with the hope that he would eventually transfer to Miami, but a torn hamstring forced him to redshirt his freshman season. When Cam'Ron returned home, he got heavy into the music business and gave up basketball.
Another interesting fact: Cam'Ron's high school point guard was fellow Harlem rapper, Ma$e.
