Happy Retirement Day Sheed. 

I’ll always remember: the championship belts, the technical fouls, Ishmiel Shaeed Wallace, the birthmark, “ball don’t lie,” your fourth quarter scowl, the sloppy rows, post up fade-away jumpers, and the Portland Jailblazers.

SHEED Retirement Tribute

Unfortunately Rasheed Wallace, my favorite player, is retiring. The NBA is losing one of the last characters left in the league. Love him or hate him, you have to admit he kept things interesting. The league won’t be the same without him.

Frozen moment:

6:18 left in the fourth quarter. Rasheed Wallace sets up three feet behind the three-point line and lets fly a perfect jump shot, nothing but net. It’s his only field goal of the game, but thanks to his defense and the excellence of Boston’s bench squad, he ends the game +9. The Celtics went up nine, and the Lakers never got closer than six the rest of the way.

Rasheed’s influence extended to psychological warfare on technical fouls. Both he and Nate Robinson were whistled for questionable technicals, but ball don’t lie held true: the Lakers missed both bonus shots.

Sheed is so hood he drinks his Gatorade in CANS. “That’s G”

Rasheed Wallace tonight:  Two points, one rebound, zero effort.

13 points (50% shooting), 4 rebounds, 19 assists, 2 steals. When Rajon Rondo blows up, it’s tough to stop the Celtics.

(An inexplicable 7-8 shooting effort from Rasheed Wallace doesn’t hurt either. A shame you can’t ever bank on that). 

“What do you mean they sold out??? Have you heard It’s Blitz!? It’s a great album! Let Karen O get a Grammy!”
