Before he became a rap mogul, Master P was making a name for himself on the basketball court.

Matt Barnes shares the wild story of battling Master P during the legendary UCLA pickup runs, where future NBA stars like Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Shaquille O'Neal and more competed every day. Master P explains why so many people underestimated his game, his journey through college basketball and the minor leagues, and why basketball ultimately changed his life.
