 "Rasheed Don't like It"

Rasheed Wallace

09.17.1974




Rasheed Abdul Wallace is a former NBA Player. Played16 drafted in 1995. His significant playing years  The Portland Trailblazers (1996 -2004) and Capturing a ring  with The Detroit Pistons (2004-2009) in 2004


A mobile big man at 6'10" ..

May not be as dominant big man as Tim Duncan, but quite a character..and more importantly an effective man at the post that hits a three, hustles a lot and maybe too much verbal and body language crap.


A passionate player and  a colorful character

Wallace holds the single-season record for technical fouls. In the 2000–01 season, Wallace received 41 technical fouls over a span of 80 games, about one technical foul for every two games.


His best playing years is definitely with power house Portland Trailblazers (Along with Brian Grant, Steve Smith , Damon Stoudemire, Scottie Pippen, Bonzi Wells and Jermaine O'Neal) who in 2000, succumbed on a game 7 WCF and squandered a 15 point lead early on the 4th qtr against the eventual Champions, LA Lakers.. .


The breakdown would started changes  and of course Sheed himself would later be traded.  that trade sent him to Detroit (with Ben Wallace) in 2004 and ultimately winning the NBA Championship.


Sheed has beeen pretty much a journey man for much his carrer but has definitely made his own mark in every team that he played in.
