It looks like congrats are in order to Big Sean as he just earned a new position with his hometown team the Detroit Pistons. He took to the gram to announce that he is now the creative director of innovations for the NBA team.
He said, “Growing up I knew I either wanted to rap or hoop for the Pistons lol. crazy how life works. I look forward to creatively adding what I can to this iconic franchise!”

According to CBS Sports, Sean will “provide creative counsel and strategic guidance on a variety of Pistons off-the-court initiatives, including team merchandise design, in-game experience, co-branded community, and social responsibility activation, and more.”
Aside from that, he will also have his “Don Life” logo stamped in the middle of the team’s practice jerseys.
Sean further discussed his new position and said, “I grew up in the city, which naturally made me a fan of the Bad Boys. I would later have a Grant Hill poster on my wall and then, against all odds, would watch the ’04 Pistons go on to win the Championship, inspiring the whole city of Detroit. I look forward to creatively finding new ways to contribute to their legacy and continue their dedication to the community through sports, art, and, of course, music.”
Tom Gores, the owner of the Pistons, talked about Sean coming on board with the organization, and said, “Sean is an accomplished artist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. Having spent time with him and his family I know how deeply he cares about the city of Detroit. We share a common desire to use the power of sports and entertainment to improve our community and make a positive impact on people’s lives. I’m excited to see what we can do working together.”
Back in September Big Sean dropped his fifth studio album “Detriot 2,” which is the sequel to his 2012 “Detroit” mixtape.
Congrats to Big Sean on his new position.
