Big Ben is an inspiration. Bro is all heart and efforts on the floor.

So happy Big Ben made it to the Hall of Fame. The '04 Pistons team was the most fun I had watching basketball.

As a Spurs fan that Detroit team with big Ben was toughest they faced...that was probably the last big man battle we had in the Finals vs Tim Duncan

THANK YOU, i have wanted a video about Ben Wallace for the longest

Same. My favorite player!

I remember watching him control games without scoring the NBA needs him right now to help with the Defensive part of the game

One of the best defensive players and defensive teams in nba history

My All time favorite. Undrafted to 5x All NBA, 4x DPOY, 3 top 10 MVP finishes, & Champion.

Attended Tri-C here in Cuyahoga county. Dude is a beast!

a man who actually made basketball interesting with his charisma and hard work, talent and first at all dedication to the game and his way of competitive basketball. the league misses you Big Ben ! nobody believed in him. similar to Jokic though

A four-time Defensive Player of the Year, Ben Wallace was one of the most intimidating rim protectors in NBA history, anchoring the historically excellent defense of the championship-winning Detroit Pistons in the mid-2000s. He was capable of completely shutting down the paint, and he remains an unquestioned legend on that end. "I didn't get to see [Bill] Russell or [Wilt] Chamberlain, but I can't remember a guy that wreaks so much havoc of the court like Ben does," former Pistons president and NBA legend in his own right Joe Dumars said after Wallace was granted his fourth DPOY, per The Associated Press (via ESPN).

Saying a barely adult man that's 6'8" isn't that big is wild. Land of giants

"Big Ben" Ben Wallace was incredible string rebounder, heck one of a select few men strong ennough to stop "The Diesel" Shaquille O'neal from dunking! He alone was the one I was taken back when his Pistons defeated the dynasty Shaq & Kobe Lakers for the NBA championship 2004. He had my MVP vote for sure (Still I was might sad that Karl Malone did nor get his more then well earned ring). I felt it was miss that he left the Pistons for the Bulls and then the Cavaliers, but he at least came back to finnish his career with his team! I always love people stories of those who through hard and honest work and determination goes from rags to riches. He deserves all rewards indeed!!! # 17 NBA seasons - representing 4 NBA teams: Washington Wizards (1996-1999), Orlando Magic (1999-2000), 2x Detroit Pistons (2000-2006/2009-2012), Chicago Bulls (2006-2008) & Cleveland Cavaliers (2008-2009). # NBA champion 2004 + Finals 2005. # 4× NBA All-Star player: 2003, 2004, 2005 & 2006. # 3× All-NBA Second Team: 2003, 2004 & 2006. # 2× All-NBA Third Team: 2002 & 2005. # 5× NBA All-Defensive First Team: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 & 2006. # 1x NBA All-Defensive Second Team: 2007. # 4× NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award: 2002, 2003, 2005 & 2006. # 2× NBA rebounding champion: 2002 & 2003. # 1x NBA blocks champion: 2002. # No. 3 retired by Detroit Pistons. # Cover player for the NBA 2K5 video game. NBA LEAGUE RECORDS: 1. Only player in NBA history to record 1,000 rebounds, 100 blocks, and 100 steals in 4 consecutive seasons (2001-2004). 2. One of three players in NBA history to record 150 blocks and 100 steals in 7 consecutive seasons (2001-2007) (along with Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson). 3. One of five players in NBA history to lead the NBA in rebounding and blocking averages in the same season (along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Dwight Howard). 4. One of three players in NBA history to average 15 rebounds and 3 blocks per game over a season (along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bob McAdoo). 5. Only undrafted player in NBA history to be voted a starter for the NBA All-Star Game. 6. One of two players in NBA history to receive NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award four times (along with Dikembe Mutombo). 7. First undrafted player in modern NBA history to be elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. 8. Lowest Free Throw Percentage of any player with at least 125 made Free Throws.

Love Ben Wallace. I was a Bulls fan that he made like the Pistons. I was happy when the Bulls got him & even though it didn't work out, I'm still happy Ben was a Bull for a bit.

The heart and soul of the Detroit Pistons

Thank you for showing appreciation to my Basketball Team: The Detroit Pistons. Thank you. Hopefully we will be back to win another Championship and rewrite history once again, in the near future.

A center who was a lengthy fluid 6'8 and just scratching 6'9 📏 in shoes 👠. For what he lacked in size at his position, he made up for it with pure brute strength💪🧱. Big Ben went down as arguably the greatest rim protector of his era ⚓ just by benching 🏋️ 350-400lbs habitually.

The first small ball center. Could switch easy and was one of the best help defenders of all time.

This is Great Video for Ben Wallace 💯Much respect to y'all for this...Big Ben Wallace represented for all of the brothaz who had to really grind out more than the average to live out his dreams but he definitely toook the opportunities that he was given and never looked back... Being from Detroit I didn't know what to expect when the Pistons traded for Ben Wallace in that sign and trade deal w/Grant Hill who was a Legend here in just 6 seasons...Big Ben quickly became the City favorite in just 2 seasons..I just remember how lit the City was when the 2004 Pistons went on that great Championship run! Ben Wallace will always be loved by us Detroiters and he's part of the City and the Great Culture we have here👌🏿 Salute

Ben Wallace. Undrafted. Champion. Hall of famer.

Awesome video, thanks 👍🏾

One of my all time Fav.

THE GREATEST DEFENDER EVER

He was my go to center playing 2k. Defense was OP. Always loved this man's work ethic

Never forget Big Ben

Top 75 player of all time like Dwight.

Props for making this video Appreciate the greatness that was Big Ben

the story of how being a greatest defender of a generation won't make you a first ballot hall of famer

Fear The Fro

UNDERRATED BIG MAN he's ERA 💪🔥💪

Big Ben

still underrated player somehow

THE BEAST FROM THE EAST

you know ball if you can remember Big Ben blocking Shaq

This is 🔥

Much awaited

There should have been a new stat created because of Ben the Tapout he would go up and he wouldn't get the rebound but he would tap the ball out to one of his teammates simultaneously preventing the other team from getting the rebound

Technically, I think he still gets credited for the rebound. It's whoever makes the 1st contact with the ball. Just like if a deflection leads to a steal, the 1 who makes contact with the ball 1st is credited with a steal.

This is the GUY.

much love to those '04 Pistons ❤

If he won an MVP with his defense as a primary factor we could have a different league today rather than this soft you score I score rubbish. But the profit and overall audience might suffer because garbage is what sells on today's day and age.

Big Ben!

HBCU 🙌🏿 Great fucking video!!!

He was an anomaly, he was undersized in an era of dominant big men and was the most intimidating defensive presence that elevated his team. Many say he was that era's Wes Unseld

Bababababababa BEN….WawawaWallace

The Piston's 04 championship holds more weight then LeFlops 3 rings

Bro I need that beat playing in the background at 7:10

I played in the old CBA for a season. Ben is exactly 210cm, or 6'11, with shoes.

they really gave his 3 to rodney stuckey after he left...

Why no mention of Wallace's conflict with Noah in Chicago that probably led to him being traded, and Chicago went with a younger core group

Hard does payoff.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Rise or another Fall for Charlotte Hornets new ERA & new owners your next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
