Big Sean is one of Detroit's greatest rappers of all-time as he always represents the city to the fullest. He loves the city's sports teams as well, especially the Pistons of the NBA. 

Now, he has earned a very impressive position with the team and that is being their new creative director of innovation. Sean took to social media to express how excited he is for this opportunity and detailed how he's always wanted to be involved with the team at some point in his life. 

"Unreal," said Sean excitingly on Instagram account regarding his partnership with the Pistons and how this is a moment he's always been waiting for. 

"I’m now the CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE @detroitpistons! “Creative Director of Innovation”! I got a office in the facility n everything (looking for a intern by the way)! 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!"

Sean also discussed how he was in the nosebleed seats to watch the Pistons win third NBA championship in 2004 vs the Los Angeles Lakers. They did so in five games.

"This a big Boss up fareal! Thank you! I was in the nosebleeds for the championship they won in 04! I had a grant Hill posted in my room growing up! N the Bad Boys gave the city a identity and face along with back to back championships! This is nuts man."

This was led by singles such as "Wolves" feat. Post Malone and the Grammy-nominated "Deep Reverence" feat. the late Nipsey Hussle.
