P sat down with TMZ to talk about his coaching debut later this month in the Global Mixed Gender Basketball league he owns ... but also told TMZ he almost got a shot at the big time.
"I feel like I could help the New Orleans team this year. You know I was up for that job last year as an assistant coach?!"
P didn't tell TMZ exactly what kept him from getting the gig, but he did say it was ultimately the Pelicans loss, because he truly believes he could've made them a winner.
"I would've turned that team around." Later adding, "That should be a championship team right now."
