    Garnett was on the NBA All-Defensive Team in every one of those years except 1998, and Rasheed wasn't on any of them

    His reputation as a prick kept him off those teams.

    We lost that 4th quarter because of PG play.

    Sheed was great. Just because you didnt like his persona doesnt mean he wasnt great.

    Watching highlights of that Blazer team makes me sad realizing how far we are from getting to that level.

    Here's the full fourth quarter of a 2000 WCSF game vs UTA:

    That team had everything. sigh.

    Lucas had a stiff body like a center. Sheed had an elastic body like a guard. Rasheed Wallace was much better.

    Bob Whitsitt built it and Sheed haters, a minority who controlled public opinion, demanded it be blown up.

    Ah, another Sheed thread.

    Love him (as I did) or hate him, he mattered, as these threads attest.

    Ask the woman that he rough up how many ways she loved that jerk.

    Add me to the list that says the best thing about him is that he's gone.

    Wallace had a post game?

    Yes, he mattered in the same way that terrorism, inner city blight, and cancer matter.

    Sheed's anger toward authority is a liberal vs. conservative issue. Link to the event with a woman?

    This isn't the incident I was talking about, but similar:

    http://carolinasucks.com/images/rsrasheedwallace.htm

    The incident I was referring to used to be in Wiki. It isn't there any more. It was a different woman, and Wallace pleaded no contest to roughing her up. He got community service. I linked that story several times over the years.

    Wallace was a talented putz.

    EDIT: I knew there was a reason I didn't want to link to the Bryant episode. He was found not guilty on those charges.

    http://www.nytimes.com/keyword/rasheed-wallace

    I'll look for a link, but it seems to have been scrubbed.

    ^ shaky claims.

    Rasheed was a natural dickhead. But, a woman beater, he was not.

    He was on trial for blocking the ex-girlfriend with his car? No mention of actually injuring her. It was at the 1-year-old's daycare, so it looks like he was trying to see his baby.

    It happened in April, Bob Whitsitt traded Strickland and Grant for him July 15, and he was found not guilty in September. It looks like we can thank the legal charge for temporarily devaluing him.
