FACES: Rasheed Wallace
(via upnorthtrips)
The Champ is Here.
I don’t care how out of shape he’ll be, but please make this happen. Since Gil’s departure, there has been a shortage of crazy in the league and Sheed is the perfect person to bring that back.
To celebrate the birth of these two great enigmas, here is Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers in its entirety (Blazers fans, we feel you):
The outcome of this series would later define the subsequent years of both Phil Jackson and Rasheed Wallace’s NBA careers. Phil would go on to win another three-peat this time with the Lakers. While Sheed has a three-peat of his own only for drug charges and other forms of misconduct during the great Portland “Jail Blazers” years. Wallace would however find a new home in Detroit and would get his revenge four years later by defeating Phil’s Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals.
Rasheed Wallace wears a Philadelphia Flyers hat. Is this:
- bad news for a team about to blow a 3-0 lead?
- foreshadowing for all the subsequent concussions?
- a message to any Québécois who might be rooting for the Magic?
- grounds for a technical foul, according to Eddie Rush?
