Norris Cole, a two-time NBA champion with the Miami Heat<\/a>, now works at Trinity High School in Pennsylvania, where they have a students vs. teachers basketball game.<\/p>\n And yeah, one of the players on the teachers team was Cole himself, a talented guard who teamed with those Big Three groups in Miami.<\/p>\n He was just a bit better than everyone else on the court.<\/p>\n The highlights are going viral, because Cole was out there doing ridiculous things:<\/p>\n NBA legend Norris Cole played in a student vs. teachers game\u2026 he\u2019s the girls basketball coach at Trinity High in PA.<\/p>\n It went about how you\u2019d expect. \ud83c\udfc0 pic.twitter.com\/wlOOHpBXCt<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The All-American (@AllAmericanSN) February 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n It’s certainly a good reminder that while lots of people can play basketball to some extent, NBA players are operating in a whole different stratosphere.<\/p>\n Those on the floor were lucky Cole wasn’t a lanky forward or something who could also go out there and dunk all over them.<\/p>\n Those long-range shots were more than enough in what looks to have worked out as a surprisingly competitive matchup.<\/p>\n In a setting like that, Cole surely also spent some time deferring and trying to get his fellow staff members a few buckets.<\/p>\n In the end, though, it was always going to be about Cole being miles better than everyone else on the floor.<\/p>\n MORE:\u00a0Team USA basketball stunned by D.R. in World Cup Qualifier loss<\/a><\/p>\n
