After just one season as head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, Stan Van Gundy was let go. Now worries, rap legend Mater P has the perfect solution to fill the role, himself. On Monday, Master P revealed that he thinks he’d be a great fit as the next coach of the Pelicans.
“I think it’s time,” Master P told TMZ. “They gotta do something different, unique.”
“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.”

Master P would go on to say that he would be satisfied with an assistant coaching role.
“If they bring me in as a head coach or assistant coach, I think I can change the game!” he said.
Social media had all the jokes after Master P’s attempt to throw his hat into the Pelicans’ ring.
Master P done lived out every black man's dream… https://t.co/sRsvuDvd5Y

No, I don’t think Master P will be considered for a coaching job with the Pelicans. But as he mentioned, he does have some experience around basketball. Maybe he could figure out a way to help grow the game in some way.
Nevertheless, Master P thinks he’s the guy who would know what to do with Zion Williamson in New Orleans, and he believes that he can help turn the team into a winner.
“We’ll win and Zion will be happy,”Master P said. “Everything! I feel like it’s motivating the players and understanding them, that’s the most important thing.”
