Celebrity Sport: 45 Stars You Never Knew Were High School and College Athletes
Jason Sudeikis – Basketball
Before comedy became a full-time career, Sudeikis was a rising point guard in his home state of Kansas, playing alongside future NBA and college hoopsters. When he reached the collegiate level, he eventually caught the sketch comedy bug, though he’d have a few more brushes with basketball later.
His portrayal of the title character in the endearing and thought-provoking 2020 sports comedy-drama “Ted Lasso,” earned him a Golden Globe and a Critics’ Choice Award for best actor, as well as several other nominations. Sudeikis has appeared in a number of films and TV series, however, his contribution to “Saturday Night Live” remains his most important work to date.
