<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rasheed Wallace and Jermaine O'Neal usually don't bring up basketball when they get together off the court. They go hard against each other during games, but Saturday night they sat at O'Neal's house and watched the Winky Wright-Felix Trinidad fight, won by Wright in punishing fashion. Wallace took on any comers who thought Trinidad had a chance against Wright and made sure those in his locker room knew his prediction and the subsequent outcome. Wallace then went out and helped hold O'Neal to 4-for-15 shooting Sunday in the Pistons' 89-76 victory. In the past two games, O'Neal has shot 6-for-26 from the field, or 23.1%, and averaged nine points and 9.5 rebounds. Wallace has shot 14-for-34 -- 41.2% -- and averaged 15 points and 10.5 rebounds Wallace, 30, and O'Neal, 26, played together for four years in Portland, and the relationship is sort of big-brother, little-brother. "Pretty much when we're together we don't talk basketball too much; we talk about life," Wallace said. "Jermaine's a close friend. I know his wife, his daughters, his family. He's a dear friend. We talk about how the kids are doing and other little things. When we're chillin', we don't talk basketball. In the off-season we don't talk about basketball at all."</div> Source
