Detroit Pistons Offer J. Cole A Tryout

J. Cole has always been close to the NBA and its community. He’s been a regular presence on summer scrimmages and pick up games and has even starred in the league’s Celebrity All-Star Game.

Cole is a much better shooter than the average hooper and he’s 6’1” so some people think he should have tried to pursue a professional basketball career.

Well, they say it’s never too late, so the 35-year old hip hop superstar is now trying to achieve his dream of playing in the National Basketball Association. According to Master P, he’s training to make a roster next season and there’s even some footage of him working out in the gym:

Master P says J. Cole is considering trying to earn an NBA contract ๐Ÿ‘€

โ€œWhen I talked to J. Cole, he was like, โ€˜You know, big dog, you did it. What do you think I would have to do to make it happen?โ€™โ€

And, even though it may look like a long shot, the Detroit Pistons have already offered him a tryout, claiming they’re out there to support the dreamers:

“We see you out here. You said they only got 12 slots on the Pistons. Hit us up for that tryout. This is for all the dreamers,” the Pistons replied.

.@JColeNC we see you out here. You said they only got 12 slots on the Pistons.

Hit us up for that tryout. This is for all the dreamers @bleacherreport #Dreamville https://t.co/6K24xaI28b pic.twitter.com/GYuG5LvqDE

J. Cole did play some college hoops before pursuing a career in hip-hop so he clearly knows the fundamentals and some more.

Still, there are some people who believe that signing J. Cole would be disrespectful towards G-Leaguers and players overseas trying to make it to the league but hey, this is all business.
