    These guys took out my Bucks in 2004, and I became a fan and rooted for them when they took out LA in 5 games. The world was shocked, I wasn't. That Pistons team just had complete control of the game through their defense. An on offense they were on the same page. That team was like a living organism, always communicating always in sync. It was scary lol.

    People who think Hakeem, Duncan, Rodman or Robinson were on Ben Wallaces level on D, didn't watch him enough. He was on a different level. I want to someday see compilations of games he took over the 4th quarter. I don't think people truly understand his defense. It was no different than MJ doing it on offense. He truly had the same impact. It's as if he was everywhere, making play after play. Opponents could not score. Only Pistons fans during that period truly got to see it. His most dominant stuff was 2001-2004, I think that's why people don't get how good he was. He took a team largely led by Chucky Atkins and Stackhouse to the 2nd round of the playoffs guys. That's all I need to say.

    I think what Tayshaun Prince said was perfectly said. When you have nothing, & you grow up & become somebody, the way you play shows the way you were raised. I grew up a Laker fan too. I hated the Pistons as a kid, but as I grew up, I respected the hell out of Ben Wallace. Being 6’9 260 some pounds, guarding a center who’s arguing one of, if not the greatest centers ever that’s 7’1 300+ pounds & locking him up. Not every one can do that. Much respect to Big Ben. Definitely a Hall of Fame player.

    Ben Wallace is the only player in NBA history that had the ability to control a game by rebounding, shot blocking and controlling the paint. There were lots of great defenders but Ben Wallace was one who can control the paint area when he got into a zone he would control that paint. That's why they won a championship. That 03 04 Pistons team changed the game the NBA changed the rules after they won. That team should have won more championships but Larry Brown left after they won in 03 04.
