Born and raised in the small city of White Hall, Alabama, Detroit Pistons’ legend Ben Wallace knew one thing: the game of basketball. He attended Cuyahoga Community College for two seasons before transferring to play for Division II Virginia Union University.
While at community college, Wallace showed off his future dominance by averaging 17 rebounds and 6.9 blocks per game. In his two seasons at Virginia Union, he posted an average of 13.4 points and 10 rebounds per game, leading his team to a 28-3 record and a Division II Final Four appearance.
Although his play during college was respectable, it was not enough, ultimately leading Wallace to be un-drafted.
