Jamaal Magloire
Jamaal “Big Kat” Magloire is the most decorated basketball player to hail from the Greater Toronto Area, and one of the most accomplished Canadian basketball players in history. Born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, Jamaal graduated from Eastern Commerce and went to the University of Kentucky on a basketball scholarship where he won a National Championship in his sophomore year. He was drafted 19th overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2000 NBA Draft, and went on to play for 13 years before finishing his career in his hometown with the Toronto Raptors. Jamaal is currently an Assistant Coach and Community Ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, as well as a Canada 150 leader. He is also the President of The Toronto Revellers Cultural Association, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting Canada’s multi-cultural landscape by celebrating the rich diverse culture and traditions of the Caribbean.
Jamaal’s true passion is basketball, but he is equally passionate about giving back to his community through the arts and helping youth through the power of sport.
