C.J. Watson recently tweeted out a picture of his diploma.
Six years after leaving Tennessee to pursue his dreams of being a professional basketball player, the Nets guard now holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the university.
“Every year since [I left] I’ve been going back and doing classes every summer,” Watson told the Post on Friday in a phone interview from Johannesburg, South Africa, where he’s participating in Basketball without Borders. “This summer I didn’t have to go back to campus, I could do it online.
“It feels great. It feels like a little burden off my shoulders. I’m glad that I’ve got it over and done with.”
