Rasheed Wallace's Hilarious "Welcome to the NBA" Story

[BlazerWookee]

Agree 100%. Only time he came close to learning his lesson was the 6-12 months after the Blazers traded him and Hawks repackaged him immediately. And he won a championship.

Imagine if he'd been that serious his whole career.

He won a championship because he was able to be a phenomenal fourth wheel rather than a pretty good second banana.

So we blame the players and blame Trader Bob, but we give Dunleavy a pass during that era?!?

IMO, the only person who isn't to blame is Paul Allen. He spent the money.

That era of the Blazers had the talent to win a championship. The biggest reason we didn't was mental. That's the coaches' responsibility.

And Scottie Pippen's.

Back to Sheed...

He organized coat drives to collect winter coats for homeless people in Philadelphia. When Flint water crisis broke her personally drove a truck full of bottled water to Flint. He joined some hip hop artists to make a Covid prevention video aimed at young Black men, who data showed were behind the curve on Covid prevention. I mean he's no angel and his temper is a problem but I felt he was more bark than bite. There are/have been some genuinely bad people in NBA, as there are in any random group of people. I just never felt Sheed was one of them.

My $0.2, which will soon be obsolete as the penny is going away.

I agree that Sheed was never a criminal or threat to the public. Almost certainly less so than Zbo.

My dream player would have Sheed's physical skills and Dame's attitude.

Context. SBas twice tripped over Sheed's feet in that game.

Sheed is so lucky he was Sabonis's teammate. Probably why he's still alive...







Sheed, blaming Sabonis and Dunleavy:

Put Davis on him.
He's just as strong.
He's younger

Good idea, Sheed, that would solve everything!

Guarding O’Neal, Davis fouled out in nine minutes. Helping on O’Neal, Pippen fouled out. Less aggressive, Sabonis had five fouls.

Okay Sheed. Now that Davis is gone and Old Sabonis can't sub out anymore, what's the master plan for the remaining 39 minutes?
