Denzel Washington – Basketball

Like most celebs on this list, Denzel Washington was also a hooper. He grew up playing pickup basketball and that eventually led him to Fordham University in the Bronx. He was great at defense but not so great at shooting, according to his teammates. It doesn’t matter too much because Washington built a very successful career for himself in the world of acting.

He is known for his work in films and on stage and has starred in projects like, “Man on Fire,” “The Equalizer,” and “Training Day.” In 2021, he was seen in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”
