Detroit Pistons Welcomes J Cole On Their Squad: “Hit Us Up For That Tryout”

J Cole Accepted By Detroit Pistons For A Tryout: “This Is For All The Dreamers”

J Cole made headlines over the weekend, following reports that he’s planning on pursing a career in the NBA. Master P told TMZ during a recent interview that J Cole has been seriously training to kick start an NBA career.

Jermaine used to be a hooper back in high school and famously tried out for St. Johns during his stint in college, but eventually decided to focus on music.

“I talked to J. Cole, he was like ‘You know, big dawg you did it. What do you think I would have to do to make it happen?’ I said to get one of these NBA jerseys, it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be a lot of hate, it’s gonna be a lot of people not believing in you but you know J. Cole, he got the right size, he in the gym,” P said.

“They’ve been putting their whole life into this. So, you’re gonna have to prove you’re worthy of being on that court. I believe in him and I believe that he’s a youngster that has a lot of desire.”

Few days after the revelation, the Detroit Pistons sent out a tweet that shows they’re more than willing to welcome the rapper into the Motor City family with open arms, as shared by HNHH.

“@JColeNC we see you out here. You said they only got 12 slots on the Pistons,” the Detroit Piston’s Official Twitter account wrote, referencing Cole’s “Friends” lyric.

“Hit us up for that tryout. This is for all the dreamers @bleacherreport #Dreamville.” They went as far as posting a mock-up of J Cole’s jersey with number ’15’ on it.
