Showbiz Stars That Were Athletes First

Britney Spears

Britney Spears is well known for electrifying performances and dancing the night away during events. Before becoming a 90’s teenage sensation, Britney was a really good basketball player and was receiving basketball scholarships even before turning 16. Britney was also into gymnastics, which explains her exceptional dancing skills and electrifying performances. It’s now more than 20 years since Britney played competitive basketball, but the star is still passionate about the sport and frequently posts dunking videos on social media.
