"I do [think he has a chance] for real," said Sanders about the 6'2" Cole. "I've seen him hoop before in some games. I know he took the game seriously when he was younger and he always rapped about it. So that's dope. I'm excited to see that. You always see guys crossover from the NBA to music, but you don't see guys crossover from music to the NBA. So this will be dope if he accomplishes this."
