How Done is Ben Wallace?

[RodNIc91]

Not worth even taking a look?

[Dex]

Real done.

Even when he went to Chicago and Cleveland, he was a shell of his former-DPOY self. His stats over the past 3 seasons, though, really tell the story:

I'd honestly rather have Bonner out there at this point.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Well done.

[TE]

Isn't he like in Law School?

[RodNIc91]

Thanks! Appreciate the time. Now I would enjoy a thread of the possible trade targets for the trade deadline. Timvp anyone?

[stephen jackson]

rj for him

[Brazil]

like really really done

[boutons_deux]

Other than those couple years with Pistons near the top, BW just wasn't ever much of a bball player.

[Big P]

Like stick a fork in him done.

[lmbebo]

he's around for locker room leadership. His ship has sailed into the black abyss

[slick'81]

hes is done after the year he said hes gonna retire

[8FOR!3]

Like Brooks & Dunn done.

[MI21]

Overrated even in his prime, tbh.

[timvp]

Done done done.

That said, I expect him to have the game of his season tomorrow thanks to this thread.

[Fernando TD21]

Just a curiosity about Ben Wallace, there was an article on Yahoo sports that said that in the game against the Spurs, Ben Wallace is going to break Avery Johnson's record for biggest amount of games played in the NBA by an undrafted player.

[chazley]

Hell no.

[ElNono]

pass

[NASpurs]

Like Whitney Houston done.

[jgome21]

Not worth even taking a look?

At this point in Ben's career he wouldn't even be able to out-rebound Matt Bonner..

[Kewni Leonard]

Guy was a hell of a player in his prime, but he's been done for about 4 years.

[Texas_Ranger]

not done

[ajballer4]

He spreads the floor. Trade for him

[timvp]

Done done done.

That said, I expect him to have the game of his season tomorrow thanks to this thread.

:smchode:

I haven't seen him play this well in four years.

[Proxy]

Overrated even in his prime, tbh.

A bold claim. Would you like to enlighten us on why?

[spursfan1000]

He spreads the floor. Trade for him

:lol

[mercos]

This thread is responsible for that miracle three he hit. I hope you are satisfied....

[Paranoid Pop]

At this point in Ben's career he wouldn't even be able to out-rebound Matt Bonner..

Tonight :

Bonner 0 rbds 0-2 FTs

Wallace 5 rbds 4-8 FTs

:wakeup

[Latarian Milton]

dude been just above-average since he left detroit tbh

[ata]

Done done done.

That said, I expect him to have the game of his season tomorrow thanks to this thread.

Well, we can say, that Wallace had his game of the season ;)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

dumbass!!!!

[lefty]

Most games played since the merger

Lol
Avery Johnson

[Spurminator]

Since we won, I can say this, but I secretly enjoyed watching Ben turn back the clock a little last night. One of my all-time favorite players.

[timvp]

:lol Me too. It was pretty awesome to see him defend Duncan on the low block for old time sakes. And seeing him get spitting mad on foul calls while defending the pick-and-roll brought back good memories of Game 7.

Ben Wallace, quote machine: On hitting a rare three-pointer and being the focus of Spurs coach Greg Popovich's Hack-a-Bad-Foul-Shooter strategy: "Three-ball -- that ain't nothing that you all haven't seen before. They hacked me. I made a couple free throws, shot a couple airballs -- still ain't nothing that you all have never seen before." :lol

[BRs.Ganso]

he's now making 3 point shots

[Ice009]

Maybe the 3 pointer was an audition for Pop? lol even a great defender like Wallace knows what you have to do to get on the court for Pop.

[therealtruth]

If Tiago started making 3's he'd be starting and playing 30+ min a night.

[TampaDude]

Ben Wallace was a beast in his prime, but now he's about as done as a ribeye you left on the fire 10 minutes too long.

[Whisky Dog]

For about 5 game minutes on that Valentine's night Ben Wallace saw that Spurs uniform and the # 21, 20, and 9 and thought he was in July of 2005.

[Seventyniner]

I nearly spit out my beer when Ben made that 3. He airballs FTs regularly, and then hits that shit? If the Spurs had lost because of that...

[Dex]

If Tiago started making 3's he'd be starting and playing 30+ min a night.

He also wouldn't have the 2nd highest FG% in the league.

Great quote. There was a running back who said "if you need three yards, I'll get you three yards. If you need six yards, I'll get you three yards."

[therealtruth]

Pop seems to value 3 pt chuckers rather than guys that can shoot 60+ FG%.
