Could J. Cole's chance to be a Detroit Piston be here? It's possible.

The Pistons, via Twitter, have invited the rapper to try out for the team. They've even made up a jersey in honor of him.

“@JColeNC we see you out here,” the Pistons account tweeted. “You said they only got 12 slots on the Pistons. Hit us up for that tryout. This is for all the dreamers @bleacherreport #Dreamville

Cole played basketball in high school and is known to be a solid player. Last week, Cole expressed interest in trying to land a spot on an NBA roster.

Stranger things have happened, right?

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