  • J. Cole has +1500 odds at making an NBA roster.
  • J. Cole's odds at participating in a workout for the Detroit Pistons are at -110.

DETROITJ. Cole has made it known that he has been training to make a run at the NBA. There have been different videos surfacing of the rapper playing basketball and they have finally caught the attention of the NBA.

It has also caught the attention of online sportsbooks as there are different odds on if J. Cole will have a career in the NBA or not.

Will J. Cole Make An NBA Roster?

  • No -3000
  • Yes +1500

Will J. Cole Participate In Tryout For The Pistons?

  • No -120
  • Yes -110

J. Cole has had videos of himself playing basketball surface all throughout the internet. In these videos, he could be seen shooting and even running games with NBA players and actually holding his own against them.


Although these are just videos, Cole would be smart to stay put in the music industry.

Bettors should keep in mind that these NBA players put in loads of work and practice daily in order to stay in shape. Not to say that he doesn’t have a chance – there has been a history of rappers in the NBA when Master P was signed and played for both the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets – but when it comes down to it, even the lowest of the lowest NBA players would be able to overtake Cole.

Bettors should play it safe here and bet that Cole will not make the cut for an NBA roster.

On a separate note, there is one NBA team that seems as if they are willing to take the chance and give J. Cole a workout and that is the Detroit Pistons.

It is surprising that the NBA odds are favoring that Cole will not participate in a tryout for them as they have already extended the invitation and Cole seems to still be training for that opportunity.


With the invitation already out there, it would be great for both sides. The Pistons have nothing to lose, as they are not considered contenders and bringing in Cole would certainly shine a light on a struggling organization.

At the end of it all, it would also give Cole the opportunity to showcase what he can really do. Bettors should take the chance here and bet that Cole will at least participate in a tryout for the team.

Who knows? Maybe he becomes the next Pistons star!
