Retired pro-baller Kareem Rush may come from a family of basketball players, but Rush believes that his true destiny is to pursue a career in music. Reports suggest Rush thinks his skills are similar to Justin Timberlake's. As crazy as that may sound, others are saying that Rush does have a lot of raw skill.
Before his time in the NBA, Rush played college ball for the University of Missouri. While there, he was considered a standout player, and his stats were highly respected.
In 2002, the Toronto Raptors brought him into the big leagues. The Raptors immediately traded his rights to the LA Lakers. Rush is best well known for his stint with the Lakers, but he also played with teams like the Pacers, the 76ers and even the Clippers.
Rush has since retired from the NBA, but he still is managing to make headlines. According to TMZ Sports, Kareem Rush thinks he has a chance in the music business:
"His days with the Lakers are over...but ex-NBA player Kareem Rush is still gunning to sell out the Staples Center...as the next big superstar in pop music. The 34-year-old explains he's focusing on a singing career [saying,] 'I'm a cross between Timberlake and Maxwell.' Rush has been working on his craft for years...and even dropped a single back in 2010...before he officially retired."
Now, to some it may seem that Rush is simply hitchhiking on Justin's success train. However, according to Yahoo News, Kareem is actually quite skilled:
"Lakers baller Kareem Rush singing Sam Smith 's "Stay With Me" -- and dude can definitely hit the high note! As we previously reported, Rush is laser focused on growing his music career -- something he's been passionate about for years. In fact, Rush dropped a single back in 2010. Now, with a new album on the way...Rush put his pipes on [and busts] out a ridiculously tough song with no warm-up, no backing track and only basement level acoustics."
