Ben Wallace's First Return to the Palace as a Chicago Bull
February 25, 2007 - Former Detroit Pistons All-Star center Ben Wallace returned to the Palace and received a mixed response from the hometown fans in attendance. Wallace then went on to score 6 points, grab 8 rebounds and block 2 shots as his new team, the Chicago Bulls, came up just short in a 95-93 loss. Chris Webber had 21 points and 9 rebounds for the Pistons.

I remember when this men leave Detroit... He left bec Joe Dumars wanna give gim 4 mln per season... He was 4 x DPoY, Champ, back-to-back in finalas and 2000-2006 conference finalas... This was a JOKE... Ben transfor Bulls and Cavs from bottom on DEF to TOP 5 in season and even better in PO. LeBron Cavs lose to Celtics with KG after 7 games and this Cavs team have best D on this PO... This say allot how much inpact Ben have od side of D edit I never hate him... He deserve 60 mln per 5 years... Is a Joke 2 years later ppl like Joahim Noah or Tyson Chandler or Dampier(Dallas) od Eddy Curry(Fat boy) make more money then him...
that was the beginning of an ending dynasty for detroit

Ben actually was over paid when he signed the contract and no he was declining and glad they didn't resign him .
Ben Wallace is just like Dennis Rodman: both hella good at d and rebounding, both were able to somewhat stop Shaq, both started as Pistons, and both eventually ended up as Bulls

like your msg, but Ben started as a Magic unfortunately
In Detroit, they'll boo you if you leave of your own volition. They booed Jack Morris, Sergei Fedorov, and Dennis Rodman upon their returns. They would have booed Grant Hill, too, had he played in the 2000-2001 season.

I'm 5 years late here but Rodman got traded to Spurs for Sean Elliott. At first they were trading him to Phoenix for Richard Dumas, but obviously Dumas had his problems and didn't play anymore after 93 season.
This was one of my fav wins of all time.
How is it possible that they boo'ed him?

Not only did he leave for more money but he went to our rival team Chicago. The wound was still fresh when he came back to play us so it was only normal. But Detroit eventually got over it because once he came back to finish his career with us it was nothing but love.

@@axelfoley1406 more money? Sheed was getting 10mils a year (made way more than Ben till that point already) with 4 all-star appearances. Hamilton was getting 10-12 mils a year with 3 all-stars in his resume. McDyess a roleplayer at this point was getting paid the same amount as big ben and chauncey. Prince was getting more money than Ben with 4 all defensive 2nd teams , ben was lowballed his entire career , until his last year with the pistons he was a 4 times DPOY , had 4 allstar appearances, was in 5 all nba teams , 6 times all defensive 1st , had 2 rebounding titles and a blocking title. he deserved to get paid and if detroit wouldnt pay him someone else would and the Bulls did.
The guy never abandoned the team he was traded he has always been that type of player where he gets traded but has a main team. Like Shaq he was traded around a lot but was always really good

Stuart Scott got that wrong. Ben WASN'T traded. He LEFT, which is why the fans booed him upon his return.
rip flip saunders
Haha i was there. This was my first time going to a nba game
why was he booed (partially) by the crowd?
Those that booed him were a disgrace
Booing him is ridiculous the fan base cursed themselves doing stuff like that and the bad draft picking by the front office
I don't think all u remember this but... That Bulls team after add Ben Wallace was awwfffuuulll od D like a bottom With Ben it was top 5 and this team swept NBA champs in first round 4-0...

Ben Wallace's contract expired following the 2006 season. He was in his early 30's by then and showing some signs of gentle decline. The Chicago Bulls then swooped in and broke the bank, signing Wallace to a 4-year, $60 million deal, over $10 million beyond his expected value (and $12 million more than the Pistons offered). His production dropped off pretty significantly over the course of that new deal. In hindsight, Joe Dumars was probably wise not to match that $60 million figure, though his absence stung regardless.

I live in Chicago, lived in Detroit for awhile. When you think of international cities, you don't think of San Francisco. It widely known in the techworld is all since it's boom in popularity in the 80s and after. But SF *is not currently internationally known or in the past with rich history* like Chicago, Detroit or NY. SF is still a baby in comparison to popularity or history.
