Cam'ron seems like he is a pretty good basketball player.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Before he got into rap, Cameron Giles was a standout basketball player at his high school in Harlem. His coach, Charles Johnson, recalls a "very feisty and temperamental" player who was often jotting rap lyrics into notebooks.He reportedly had basketball scholarship offers from colleges but didn't have the grades. He dropped out of high school in 1994 and hustled on the street, according to associates and news reports. But basketball remained a passion. He got his GED, and hoped to make a comeback at a junior college in Texas. That dream died when he was kicked out after a fight in a dorm room, according to a basketball coach there.Back in New York, Cam'ron hooked up with a buddy from his high school basketball team, Mason Bethea, who had become a prominent rapper known as Ma$e. Ma$e introduced Cam'ron in early 1997 to Biggie Smalls, the Notorious B.I.G., giving Cam'ron his first huge break.</div>
