Long before he was a do-it-all offensive lineman for the Detroit Lions, Kenny Wiggins was a budding basketball star in northern California — and was good enough to play on the same team as future NBA players DeMar DeRozen and Brandon Jennings.

Wiggins, DeRozen and Jennings played together briefly as teenagers on rapper Master P's AAU team, the P.Miller Ballers.

"It was awesome," Wiggins told the Free Press last season.
