Master P Wants To Be The Head Coach For New Orleans Pelicans: I Think I Could Change The Game

From music to the food industry and now to sports, Master P has a new aspiration he’s going after.

The rapper turned businessman is putting his hat in the ring to be the new head coach for New Orleans’ NBA team, the Pelicans. The position is now open since now-former head coach Stan Van Gundy after his first season.

Master P told TMZ of his hopes of filling the spot earlier today (June 22nd). He said,

“I think it’s time. They gotta do something different, unique. You look at Tim Tebow, they brought him to play as a tight end because they looking at times is changing. The NBA is entertainment. I think it’s time for me to be the first hip-hop coach because what I know as basketball.”

Master P, who previously played in the league for the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets, ran down his resume and said,

“I played in the NBA, I done coached a lot of great players that are in the league. I done took my sons from being high school athletes to maybe they’ll be the next future big-time pro athletes. I coached DeMar DeRozan, a lot of great players.”

The New Orleans native added,

“I know that I could show people like Zion [Williamson]… we got great players on the team but they need somebody that understands them. So, if they bring me in as a head coach or assistant coach, I think I could change the game. We’ll win with Zion and be happy, [playoffs] and everything. I feel like it’s motivating the players and understanding them.”
