Apparently Shane Battier was approached to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Senator Levin. Battier would have run as a Dem.
Battier was born and raised in Birmingham.
and the Detroit connection: He played against the Detroit-Auburn Hills Pistons on numerous occasions, sometimes in Auburn Hills.
Kind of a fascinating story for those who follow MI politics.
