Kareem Rush Biography

Kareem Rush is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on October 30, 1980 in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. American former professional basketball player who entered the 2002 NBA Draft. He was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 20th overall pick but was quickly traded over to the Los Angeles Lakers.

During his stint with the Los Angeles Lakers he played a minor backup role to Kobe Bryant.

After graduating from Pembroke Hill School in Kansas City, Rush attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where he was a standout guard on the basketball team. Rush averaged 19.8 points per game as a junior, leading the Tigers to the Western Regional finals in the NCAA tournament, where they lost to Oklahoma. As a sophomore in 2000–01, he led the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 21.1 points per game. During this time, Rush worked with world- renowned conditioning coach Istvan Javorek.

Rush entered the 2002 NBA draft after his junior season and was selected with the 20th pick overall by the Toronto Raptors, who immediately traded his rights to the Los Angeles Lakers. Rush was projected to be a top 10 pick, but much like what happened to Kareem’s elder brother JaRon—a former UCLA star—Kareem slipped down much further than anticipated. At the 2000 draft, JaRon, who left the Bruins after his sophomore season, was not selected. “No one wants to see something like that happen to his brother”, JaRon said, weeping. “I mean, I knew he was going to get drafted eventually, but it was still hard.”
