Jamahl Mosley’s road to becoming the head coach of the Orlando Magic was unconventional but worth the journey. Growing up in San Diego, California, Jamahl found his key to success by learning basketball.

Playing for the Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, California, Jamahl developed into one of the best Basketball Athletes in San Diego County which earned him the California Interscholastic Federation Player of the Year award in 1997.

After he graduated from high school, Jamahl enrolled in the University of Colorado as a 6 '8, well-built Small Forward. In his four years of College ball for the Colorado Buffaloes, Jamahl emerged as a top performer and contributor for his team, averaging 11.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.7 steals, and 0.6 blocks a game. His impressive gameplay and performance during the 1999-2000 season even earned him an All-Big 12 conference selection.

Despite his abilities and potential as a top college athlete, Jamahl went undrafted in the 2001 NBA Draft and so decided to take his talents overseas. After taking an early retirement in 2005, Mosley made the ultimate decision to capitalize on his basketball knowledge and began his NBA career as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets.
