Norris Cole has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million
Norris Cole is an American professional basketball player with an estimated net worth of $1.5 million. Cole is currently a point guard with the Miami Heat of the NBA. He is 6’2” and weighs 175 pounds. Norris Gene Cole II was born on October 13, 1988 in Dayton, Ohio. Cole started playing basketball at the age of 3 and was a standout student and athlete in high school, leading his team to consecutive high school state championships as a junior and senior in 2009 and 2010, and being a member of the National Honor Society and his school’s salutatorian. He played high school ball with a fellow future NBA player, Daequan Cook. Although he was slated to go to Walsh University on a football scholarship, Cleveland State offered Cole a basketball scholarship. It turned out to be a solid choice for the player and the school, as he steadily improved over his four-year college career, finishing his senior year scoring over 21 points a game and with over 5 assists and rebounds. He also earned his degree in health sciences.
Cole entered the 2011 NBA Draft and was selected 28th by the Chicago Bulls, although he would be traded to Minnesota and eventually to the Miami Heat that same night. He stepped into his role as a backup point guard for the star studded Heat with considerable aplomb, scoring 20 points, including 14 in the fourth quarter in his first game – a season starting win over the rival Boston Celtics in 2011. Cole would go on to have an effective year as a rookie and would play a key role for the Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals, especially in Game 4 where he sparked a comeback win for the Heat. He won an NBA Title in his first year as a professional.
Although his point production went down by just over a point in his sophomore year with the Heat, his field goal average and assists and rebounds improved as he continued to be a consistent off-the-bench performer for the now NBA champions. Again in the playoffs, he gave the team a much needed boost in several important games as they won their second consecutive title. Cole is a religious individual who attends church often. He has two older sisters and his cousin, Trent Cole, is a defensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles.
