OT: Rasheed is Still a Joke

[Stevenson]

He was a talented thug and buffoon when he played here, and his quotes are still legendary: "CTC, Baby." But watching the Knicks game last night, this quote by Rasheed takes the cake:

He came back because guys today "don't know how to post up" and he was going to show them how - said the guy who never posted up once in all his years here.

I still can't stand him.

 

[jlprk]

I remember him posting up.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I remember him posting up.

You remember lots of things that never happened.

 

[jlprk]

To disprove a negative, I only have to remember one time in his whole career.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Many do but they'd rather take a soft jumper.

 

[Haakzilla]

...I don't think Hall-of-Famers are a joke

 

[Stevenson]

Best Rasheed Wallce video ever!

 

[craigehlo]

Sheed's go-to move for a while was a backing into a defender then spinning into a fall away jumper that was unblockable. That's technically a post-move. The rest of the time he shot 3's.

 

[MickZagger]

That face up bankshot jumper that Tim Duncan has made legendary. That was originally Sheed's shot. I was never a. Sheed hater. I liked his game better than Aldridges.

 

[jlprk]

His defense came from his fantastic mobility. He would block inside, the guard gets it, he runs out to make it hard for the guard to dribble, the guard passes, Sheed gets inside to block it again, all within 5 seconds.

Loved this line:

Wasn't this guy more suited to sitting up in a balcony and rolling his eyes like Statler and Waldorf in the Muppet Show?

What's kind of amazing is that BOTH 'Sheed and Stackhouse are playing in the NBA. Didn't they both sit out last season? More importantly, where's Jeff McInnis?

He posted up all the time. What on earth are you talking about? His baseline turnaround shot from the post was his staple.

 

[jlprk]

Finally, people back me up! Whooooooo!

Life is good.

 

[oldmangrouch]

The mere fact he stood up to the Goryonion has earned him a permanent place in my heart!

 

[Boob-No-More]

You're right, and I'll back you up on it! I remember that one time, too!

I'm seeing it right now! Are you? The colors, man!

...Like I said, Boob's a good guy. Excellent poster.

...from today's game:

[MickZagger]

Ball don't lie.

 

[THE HCP]

Ain't nothin' but a SHEED thang baaaaaaaabe!

 

[jlprk]

Stotts saw that and decided on a personality transplant. He now has Aldridge in the weight room, doing 10 sets a day of yelling "Ball don't lie!" 5 reps each.

 

[julius]

Ball don't lie, and Sheed don't grow up.

 

[Nate Dogg]

So in the case of Rasheed Wallace scoring for the Chicago Bulls who gets the points on the stat sheet? Brad Miller?

I think it's the closest Bull to the ball...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

"Ball don't lie" and "Both teams played hard" will last forever. Sheed's greatest contribution to the game and discourse of sport.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Hedo's "Ball" for the win.

Sheed gets credit for "Both teams played hard" and "cut the check", no way does he get credit for "ball don't lie". That one's been around forever, mostly in pick up games where guys call their own fouls. It has no place being used to show up an official in the professional game. All it will do is piss off the ref and insure even more calls go against you. But then Rasheed Wallace and professional behavior aren't exactly synonymous.

Gotcha... well, rock and roll existed before Elvis, but someone needed to take it mainstream.
