Rasheed Wallace: This UNDERRATED Big Man was just as skilled as KEVIN GARNETT or TIM DUNCAN | FPP

- One of the most underrated big men of his generation, Rasheed Wallace was the complete package and could offer both offense and defense, but having hair-trigger temper on the court and racking up the third most technicals of all time, has him better remembered for his words than his game over the years. But Rasheed Wallace was one of the winningest players of all time who played in 14 straight postseasons and made it to the conference finals in over half of those. He was a star high schooler who was mentioned in the same sentence as Wilt Chamberlain and would go on to play two stellar years for the North Carolina Tar Heels alongside another great NBA player in Jerry Stackhouse. He spent his rookie season on a Washington Bullets team featuring Chris Webber and Juwan Howard until being traded to Portland. And as a Trailblazer, Wallace was arguably the best player on some of the most complete teams Portland has ever put together alongside guys like Isaiah Rider, Damon Stoudamire, Arvydas Sabonis, Scottie Pippen and Steve Smith. He would help lead the team to back to back Western Conference Finals Appearances, but could never get over the hump. But in 2004, he would find his way to the Detroit Pistons with Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince and would provide them with the missing piece they needed to win the 2004 NBA Finals. The remainder of his time in Detroit would be filled with memorable playoff runs before he signed onto the Boston Celtics in 2010, retired for two years then briefly came back with The New York Knicks in 2013. But throughout all those years, Rasheed Wallace was a catalyst to every team's playoff success.

Without sheed, Detroit doesn’t win, he was the missing piece
@@RogueStallion31Chauncey Billups was the best player on that team. He's so underrated. 'Sheed was great though.
@nocturne311 most definitely, the Iverson trade proved that
@astrowerm even though AI is ranked among the top 30-40 players all-time, he wasn't the leader Chauncey was. I know that AI led his team to the finals once, but I think that year was the only year in his career that he's played in the conference finals. Chauncey played in seven conference finals; six in Detroit, one in Denver.
Truth
BIG FACTS!
PF in the 2000s was really strong.
Dirk, KG, Duncan, Weber, Amare, Martin, Bosh, Rasheed, Jermaine O'Neal, Aldridge, Randolph, Pau Gasol, Odom, etc. The 2000s were truly the golden age of PF.
It was. They had plenty of PFs that put in work.
Brand, Boozer, Jamison, D-West
its easy to forget how dominant jermaine o neal was at his peak, there were MORE dudes though. antoine walker, antonio mcdyess, kenyon martin. carlos boozer. eldon brand!?!?1 shit.
90’s was the best center era , 2000’s the best pf era , 2010’s the era of PGs
@@moneyman4740 80s was the SF
Sheed is a good dude. His entire family has always been great to me. One heck of a basketball player.
RIP Mrs. Jackie (His Mom)
Respect bro💯
On any given night Sheed could be the best player on the court. Skill set was nuts
Yes
The only guy I've seen that could defend Tim Duncan straight up 💪🏾
Say it louder 🤧
Well he had experience with that before he even got to the league because they both played in college in the ACC, so they saw each other at least twice a year.
Talk about a dude that would be even more valuable now. Sheed was way ahead of his time in the sense that he shot 3's could defend and play the pick n roll, and could defend multiple positions. I'd love to see him play today
Rasheed Wallace was basketballs equivalent of a 5 tool player. I put him over all the PF's in the power forward era...
Over garnett and Duncan? Dirk? I mean dude was legit no doubt. Most skilled, maybe but not over those guys
@@kenw2225I got him on the same level, equal to them all
He was good as all those guys. Man was by far the best player on all the teams he was on til he left Detroit. The fact Brian Grant ever started over him shows just how biased coaches back then were in playing young players. Pace of all the teams he was on definitely hurt his points and rebounding numbers. Only reason numbers weren’t the greatest in offense in Detroit was to spread the floor with his 3 point shooting since Ben was just taking up space down there on the offensive end. He was known at the time to be the most skilled big man in the post but his ability to shoot from which 99% of the league lacked man sacrificed his game to make his teammates better so they could win.
Put Mamba Mentality in Rasheed skillset and body. You get greatest player ever.
And it probably wouldn’t be a debate. I think that player would end up with stats, rings, longevity. Especially in that era.
would have like to see portland with a prime sabonis.....
No
You knew when Wallace was playing against your team it was going to be a great game and could marvel at his game
You omitted the fact he went to ATL and broke the franchise record for blocks in the one game he played there before he was dealt to Detroit
He had 5 blocks … but I don’t think that’s the franchise single-game record?
Got alot of respect for Rasheed Wallace you should also cover Chris Webber Antonio McDyess Vin Baker Shareef Abdur Rahim Antawn Jamison Zach Randolph and Elton Brand
His fadaway in the post was unstoppable
He was one of my favorite players. Had lefty jumper as well which he used in actual NBA game. Never seen that from any other player in history. That says it all about his talent level. Ball dont lie.
I love Rasheed, he tore my heart out in 2004, but I loved the way he played the game. And the "both teams played hard," post game interview was brilliant.
Whenever I see someone miss a free throw after being the beneficiary of a bad call who doesn't still say "ball don't lie"
In Germany my country the people loved him and Big Ben at the Pistons Years.
I loved him from his first NBA Year
Had one of the most beautiful jumpers for a big man
If you know the game. You understand that Sheed is a top 75 player of all time
Hell nahh he was barely a top 5 player at his position back in his era , Duncan , KG, DIRK , Webb / Sheed Then you still had the Amare and Pau’s of the world , he was a great player tho but top 75 is a stretch
I don’t think top 75 is a stretch. Depending on when u starting that top 75. He’s top 50.
Massively underrated player but one correction. He all of people did NOT actually receive any punishment for the Malice At The Palace (no fine, no suspension, nothing). He suited up next game vs Bobcats normally.
The Goat of Technical fouls😂😂😂😂😂😂. He gave no fucks!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯
Defense, playmaking, shooting, post moves... he had it all!
Yes
he only missed some brain and basket iq...
Sheed had everything but he didn't want to be the 1st option and didn't want to carry a team. Sheed reminds me of a prime Derrick Coleman.
Him and Garnet and rodman are my favorite players
my favorite player of all time
I always said sheed had potential to be all time great nothing he couldn't do
I thought Sheed was better than Duncan while at UNC and in his early years in the league. Later in his career, he was an undisciplined shooter. Always great in the playoffs, and entertaining to watch.
Tim Donahuy... King of fixing games... Even wrote a book about it
Boy if the blazers would have got Steve Smith and Pippen in 98-99 season, they definitely would have beaten the spurs and the Knicks in the finals then Pippen would have had seven chips, because that next year Lakers closed in and they should have beaten them then instead of letting them come back from I think fifteen down,that definitely would have been good for Pippen, now we gotta hear how he couldn't win without Jordan and how much he hated him!
I love Sheed and his game. People love Sheed. Except the league and their refs.
Yesss! Thank you for this one. Easily one of my favorites growing up.. I know Timmy was held to a high regard, but I think between Sheed, KG and CWebb were among the best pf in that era. The Jail Blazers was a team that I thought were gonna win or 2 back then.
KG was a clear #2 in those days , Cwebb put up better #’s but Sheed had better range and was a better defender , i would prolly take Webb over Sheed but u cant go wrong wit either , Tim, KG and Dirk were the clear big 3 tho
@@moneyman4740 Dirk took a bit of time to develop good. I personally would never have him over anyone I just mentioned especially on 2000
@@DRV404u right Dirk didn't start cooking til like 03 I think
I had the privilege of meeting and talking to Rasheed Wallace at a restaurant that I worked at! Amazing man! Truly deserved his great career in the NBA! Hope to have a basketball career as long and as prominent as his!
That amazing, was it in detroit??
Sheed was so good on that Pistons 04 championship team.
Should be in the hall of fame
Yep, but he was one of the first and loudest to call out Tim Donaghy
NBA is terrified of a Rasheed Wallace hall of fame speech 😂
Two things I always said at the court. Turnaround fade -away jumpers you yell Kobe! When some cheese happens and buddy misses you say ball don’t lie!
I have so much love for that 04’ Pistons team… sheed on of my favorite PF from my era
U gotta do this over because u didn't touch on Sheed exposing the RiggedBA exploits & being vindicated, when it came out that refs were fixing games. Especially, in that Lakers series of the 2000s the 2006 ECF vs Cavs. Reupload put that into the profile of Sheed
Very positive video. Good job man...real accurate and focused on his game and not other issues
Rasheed was one of my favorite players and is the reason I wore #30 on my middle school and high school squads.
May favorite PF in the early 00's, I really hope he teamed up with KB.
I would put him in a level before with Garnet, Webber, Duncan, Nowitzki, etc those were the top power forwards in the past. Rasheed won with a ragtag team of hardworkers.
My personal favorite PF dude could legit do it all
NBA POLITICS PREVENTED SHEED FROM BEING GREAT!!!
Damn David Stern!!!!
Naw love sheed but I don't think he had any desire or the focus to constantly be the guy night in night out. Later in hi s career when he was with the Pistons i remember the reason he wouldn't get in the post as much was to protect his ankles and extend his career so he stayed on the perimeter and chuck threes.
@@prestonwoods290 Yeah after getting inured around 04 he changed his game
Occasionally great player but preferred to be a role player. All time great character though!
Do Andrei Kirilenko, Arvydas Sabonis, and Vlade Divac next
GREAT CHOICES!!!
Wallace was a complete ANIMAL! Hall of fame TALENT 100% FACTS
He got some of those technical fouls for breathing NBA hated that man
Sheed was aight. Ball Don't Lie!!🤣😂🤣😂🏳️🆘💯
With a different mindset Wallace could have gone down as a top 10 all time player. He was that talented but instead underachieved and never reached his potential.
My all time favorite pf
He was my favorite 4 man after Barkley and my favorite of that era of Duncan, KG and Dirk
Sounds like me. After Barkley...I latched on to KG and 'Sheed
My Two favorite big men (equally) not afraid to bang it out. Miss that era. I was spazzing when Boston went after my heart as they tried to mimick my 2k franchise teams by putting both 'Sheed and KG in Boston...together. Wish they could had gotten chip 2 together. Wish they teamed up several years earlier.
Some of those Portland Trailblazers teams were good.
Ps The 2004 and 2005 Pistons teams were heavy.
BRO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAD BEEN LOSING MY MIND LISTENING TO THESE YOUNGER GEN Z KIDS
that have bigger followings than you at this certain very moment. i mean at least when they mention rasheed wallace and dont comment on how much of a anti-hero superstar he was.
i HATE it when people say that Detroit Pistons 2nd dynasty in the 2000s with both Chauncey Billips AND Sheed "didnt have a true superstar and their whole sum was more than of their parts" and all that bullshittery and babble.
im glad i found your channel and i already know you're gonna blow up.
i LOVE the average length of the videos on all your content in this series but i know you can branch out and have other elite content in different series, too and im glad i am gonna be here to witness you blow up as far as a sports youtuber that has a focus on retrospectives and showing the true nature of these players that the new generation that has come up didnt get to watch in real time.
Rasheed was a superstar and ive never seen one dude get ejected from so many games on the kind of note he would. not like demarcus cousins just being a fuckin asshole. or that dude from the golden state warriors whose face i hate and talks too m,uch.
bless!!
YO PLEASE DO A VIDEO LIKE THIS ABOUT ELTON BRAND! my boy was absolutely dominant but played for chicago in their down years post jordan and then the la clippers back before lob city when they were like an exhibition team it seemed like. they were like the montreal expos tbh.
I always say sheed and kg were the best pfs of the 2000s. Duncan had the perfect situation so he didn't have to carry a franchise but still great.
Sheed and kg were naturally athletic, intelligent, aggressive with charisma. I look at more than stats.. they had impact too with lesser talented teammates
thanks for this...was waiting for this. madd underrated
Great video but this title is nasty work. Should just be "Rasheed Wallace one of the most skilled big men of his era" Adding in KG and Duncan makes the video initially seem unserious
4 th pick of the Draft and the Bullets just gave up on him
Then gave up on Ben Wallace and Rip Hamilton
I felt so proud to see them win and that’s when I gave up on all hopes of DC ever winning anything in my lifetime
Sheed so underrated, all the forwards that get the pub got work from that boy
I was a hardcore Blazers fan back in the day, during the shortened season, i believe 99, i went and saw them play a number of times, and Sheed was my fav player! He was unstoppable, but just never felt comfortable being the go-to guy, and you could see it. And unfortunately Dunleavy, and his teammates, just never realized how great he was. That 4th quarter collapse against the Lakers in 2000, to this day it infuriates me how he barely touched the ball, and instead we had ancient ass Pippen dribbling around missing shots, or Damon launching threes, or Steve Smith launching ill-advised shots. Our last bucket came off of Pippen driving and missing which then Sheed got a tip-in dunk off of. But because he was never the "gimme the ball" kind of guy, he far too often would fade into the background offensively. What both he, and more importantly that team, needed was somebody to be like, "listen Scottie, Damon, Steve, you guys are good, but Sheed's next level right now and score much easier than any of you - so I'm sorry, but in big games we're getting him as many touches in the post or off of a pick and pop as possible." Even Robert Horry said the same damn thing not to long ago, bout how he was stunned how Sheed wasn't getting 50 touches a game like Shaq was getting, uz that's the level he was on - in terms of how unstoppable he was in the post. Everyone talks about his outside shooting, nah - his post game was where he was elite.
True facts glad someone sees it the way it was Sheed was next level just nobody saw it in the me first era of basketball 😞
Yes EXACTLY 😢😢😢
Love to see Jason Eugene Terry, aka the "Jet." All time great sixth man and one of the greatest w/o an as selection
He was 3rd 🥉 all time for techs. You would think he was number one ☝🏾 the way they speak on him
NBA blacked balled him, because he wasn’t a yes man!
Everybody "who was there" knows it was TD/KG/CWebb/Sheed as the best PFs in the league. Sheed ALWAYS said he didn't focus on counting stats. As a lifelong Heels fan, I hated that because I knew it would put him "here". Where these types of videos would be made to inform the multitude of casuals, the true impact of his game/skill level. If Sheed cared about numbers, other than wins. . .EASILY 25 and 12 guy.
Can't forget dirk
*Sheed is not really underrated* Think about it. 16 ppg in high school. 16 ppg in college. 14 ppg for his career as a pro in the NBA. Ehhhh, he's "MID" really. He just doesn't either have the SKILL to average 20 ppg, or for some reason just REFUSES TO. He's just not that special. Kevin Garnett was much, much better than him.....and he couldn't even shoot 3's like Rasheed could. At 6'11" there is no reason that Charles Barkley should have career averages of 22 ppg and 11 rbs....but Rasheed gave me 14 ppg and 6 rbs. That is pathetic. Charles is 6'6".
Pistons made a good choice to pick Sheed during the championship year
The footwork was more fluid than Big Al 😊👠
The footwork though
Sheed was unguardable in the post, then developed the 3!
I have always loved Sheed since his NC days. And I'm a Duke fan. Great video for one of my favorite power forwards 👏. Sweet justice winning over the Lakers
What i always loved about ' Sheed is that he was a team guy FIRST. He didn't care about stats, just contributions and wins.He is arguably the 2nd most talented PF ever. Only Derrick Coleman was more talented.I LOVE Tim Duncan , Karl Malone and Chris Webber who are the only other PFs that need to be mentioned in this conversation.If ' Sheed wanted to be an all time great PF he could've been.
Sheed was a Badass on the court. Period. I loved him
My Top 3 PF was KG, Timmy D, & Sheed Wallace those three was all=around eptiome of what you wanted your 4 to be, play-style and heart and not to mention his ability to play both ways and be efficient for any team he played for offensively/defensively. In My Opinion
This man was a great basketball player
He could create his own shot at any time
And he could guard just about anyone
And at times he was almost unstoppable when he was hot 🔥
I am so glad that he was with Detroit when they won the championship in 04
Against one of my favorite players Kobe Bryant
Rasheed Wallace was a force to be reckon with. Very talented and skilled. Without Sheed Detroit doesn't win the 2004 NBA Championship. His game was complete.
Sheed was a reluctant superstar
IF YOUD PUT DUNCAN & GARNET GAME TOGETHER YOUD GET WALLACE GAME ‘ JUST MIGHT BE THE “BEST ALL AROUND BIG” TO PLAY.. HE EMBODIED THE PF POSITION ☝🏾💯
As a lifelong Pistons fan, I was a huge SHEEEEED fan. Loved hearing his trash talk live at the palace at every home game. He was so intense, he impacted games from the bench.
One of my favorite players of all time!
One of the All-time great ballers to come out of Philly. Rasheed Wallace Road💪🏽❤️😊🏀 Thanks for sharing your talents with the world
The Need For Sheed
I'd take him over KG have always said that
Lol I bet u would thank God u no gm😅😅😅
only in the age of rainbow pu$$ies a player like Dame Lillard would be picked into the 75 club instead of Rasheed, or Klay, or Dwight Howard,, or Chauncy. if Stern wasn't nurturing Kobe to replace the goat MJ, Raptors led by Pippen and Sheed would've won one
Love sheed he was a all star before Detroit n the reason we got another championship he could do anything
tim daghnehey was a fraudulent ref gambling on games who called blatant bad or no calls in favor of the teams he was bettong money on , thats why Rasheed was pissed at him . He also did blatant no calls on obvious late game fouls against the Blazers vs the Lakers in the playoffs . Rasheed was justified in being pissed off.
I don't remember him getting drafted to the Bullets for some reason. I always thought he was drafted by the Blazers.
in addition to what i wrote before. i think it was a complete mistake the Sixers did getting AI. but if i were SIXERS in 95, i would have drafted Stackhouse and traded 96 draft pick for Rasheed Wallace. i always thought some college players would have succeeded a lot more in the NBA if they were able to stay together in the NBA. like Heinrich and Collison. Bulls always needed a PF, and Collison wasnt allowed to play like he did in college. would have been a good pairing. Stack and Sheed i think the same.
he was an underachiever not underrated. he never made a single all NBA or AllDef team. I'd take Webber, Dirk, over him. he's no where near Malone, Tim, Barkely, or KG.
I rock the red alt Det wallace 36 jersey all the time. I only have 2 Sheed and Cade. LETS GO PISTONS THIS YEAR!!!
both teams played hard rasheed wallace
who could forget sheed - ball don`t lie - great on defence, unselfish, postgame, middy - you name it. And who could forget "Both teams played hard - god bless and good night."😂 i doubt there will ever be another player like him.
That Detroit Atlanta trade for Rasheed was the Best thing for his Career he won a Championship 🏆 in his prime but Portland Rasheed was a Beast but Detroit rasheed was a Savy Veteran Salute the OG Rasheed
Lmmfao. Great line. "Such as throwing a towel in a refs face!" 😂 thats my 'Sheed
Chris Webber said that what set Rasheed Wallace apart from Webber, KG, Timmy was it wasn't about scoring with him.
Rasheed was a great player but he was inconsistent. Thats the difference.
Is T-Mac smoking crack these days is he forgetting all about Tim Duncan or what
If I could go back in time I would tell Sheed not to leave Robert Horry wide open for the 3 in the finals.
Big mistake costed Detroit a back to back title.
Far from underrated to me. Wallace gave them cats the business.
Portland supposed to have some jewelry. They had a squad back then. I mean they were loaded!
I know basketball and I believe he's a top 75 player please understand what a truth definition of a basketball player this man can do it all
Big sheed. Ty for the chip. DETROIT BASKETBALL
No.. just No. Rasheed Wallace was mid at best. And on top of that, He always had a bad attitude. An asshole basically.
