    So are Kurt and Camby.... If they can still be in the league, I see no reason Sheed couldn't be. Also, if he makes the Knicks they will have a front court of ancient Blazers. They are like the geriatric Timberwolves.

    I forget what nagging injury Wallace was dealing with his final year in Boston... was it a knee?

    Wallace took the path of Chris Webber and Antoine Walker, and several other aging PF's at the end of his career... he became a mid-range jump shooter that could be useful offensively, in limited pick-and-pop situations. That's something that he can still probably do at his age, and sadly for the Knicks, they'd probably welcome that.

    (Does anyone else get annoyed by the New York/east coast media over hyping the Knicks? I just saw that Tyson Chandler was ranked as a top 25 player in ESPN's NBA Rank. These were the same northeastern media members that voted him Defensive Player of the Year, while the coaches left him off the All-Defensive Team entirely, when they had the chance to vote.)

    That's interesting. When the Celtics put Wallace and Garnett together on the same team, I expected Wallace to give Garnett a real run for his money over earning minutes. But it was no contest, which surprised me, and then Sheed died gently into the night and quietly retired.

    The Knicks are the retirement home of the NBA.

    He was hurt. That's why he didn't challenge for minutes. He was playing hurt pretty much the majority of the season.

    No, it was his brain. He sprained it early in his career and never recovered.

    Do I have to be the one to post the "Who gives a shit about Sheed, he hasn't been a Blazers in XX years" post that used to accompany any Sheed thread not posted OT?

    Where is Ed O when we need him?

    I don't know if anyone caught this, but Bomani Jones did a podcast on Rasheed Wallace and the Knicks that was pretty entertaining -

    [video=youtube;n0C2Hhq62w8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0C2Hhq62w8&feature=relmfu[/video]

    This man deserves his own show. He does two podcasts: one every Monday on his website, from his house, and the other two days a week for SB Nation on YouTube.

    Bomani gesticulates his head just like Gary Payton.
