Jordell Ross has been a star in Mexican basketball leagues

Former Houston Ballers small forward, Jordell Ross continues to make a name for himself in Mexico. Since his time in the JBA League, his basketball journey has continued, and he has no plans on slowing down.

Ross is signed with Rise Above Sports Agency, and played a 14-game tour in Egypt last year before settling in Mexico — where he has been a rising star in his own right.

“I’m not going to give up. [They’re] gonna know who Jordell Ross is. Just watch. I always just needed an opportunity. It’s all in God’s plan.”
