Master P Says He Wants To Be The Lakers' Next Head Coach With Shaq As His Assistant

Rapper Master P will not give up on his dream of coaching an NBA team and wants a shot at the Lakers head vacancy...

quote:

---

... he wants owner, Jeanie Buss, to look his way.

"Bring me in, I can help get us some W's."

P says he has a plan to get the Purple and Gold back on track ... and it starts with bringing in Shaquille O' Neal to be one of his assistants.

"They need some alpha males over there," P said. "Cant get nothing bigger than me. If you want to win, bring me in."

"I'll bring some hell of assistant coaches with me. Shaq, John Lucas. I don't know if Shaq wants to do that, but if he do, we can take over. I can't see another team like that."

P knows his hoop -- the guy almost made an NBA team back in the '90s ... and has experience coaching Bulls star DeMar DeRozan at the AAU level.
