Detroit born and bred Big Sean will be providing creative counsel and strategic guidance on a number of off-the-court initiatives for the Pistons. That would include team merchandise design, in-game experience, co-branded community, social responsibility activation, and more.
“It’s a dream come true and a real honor to get to work with the iconic Detroit Pistons,” said Big Sean in a written statement. “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.”
