Norris Cole most recently played in the NBA during the 2016-17 season when he was a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder.    

Last season, the 35-year-old played in the G League and averaged 6.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest in 11 regular season games. 

He also appeared in 13 Showcase Cup games and averaged 7.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per contest.

Recently, the six-year veteran was on Gil's Arena and was asked if he still wants to play in the NBA. 

Cole's response: "I would like to play in the league again. I'm okay if I don't, but of course, I would like to play in the league again. I think being a veteran that can still show the young fellas the day-to-day preparation, the film sessions, the positioning on the court, and then obviously, as a competitor I can still get up and down. I think showing them how to be pros is the biggest value at this stage in my career."

Cole was the 28th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and spent the first three and a half seasons of his career with the Miami Heat.  

During that time, he played with LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade and won two NBA Championships (2012 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and 2013 against the San Antonio Spurs).

In addition to the Heat and Thunder, Cole has also spent time with the New Orleans Pelicans

His career averages are 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per contest while shooting 40.7% from the field in 360 regular season games (he also appeared in 68 NBA playoff games).
