<span style="font-style: italic">Nov 7</span> - "Ben Wallace is not the kind to sit and watch when he's got an injury," Antonio McDyess said. "Knowing him, he's going to play through the pain -- especially with his team not going well and playing against us."</p>

</p>

"I am pretty sure Ben is going through a lot," McDyess said. "But we're not going to give him no slack. We are already on him about the shoes he's playing in -- that's why his ankle's hurting him. I am pretty sure he's going to hear a lot of that."</p>

Wallace has been a spokesperson for the Steve & Barry's line of inexpensive basketball shoes. He's wearing $15 sneakers from his Big Ben Collection. -- <font color="#000000">Detroit News</font></p>

[*]In a 70-second interview that might have made Brian Urlacher proud, Ben Wallace gave two two-word answers, one three-word answer and two one-sentence answers to a veteran TV reporter.

"It's all right," Wallace said of the sore left ankle that has plagued him.</p>

Wallace is known for his temperamental nature in TV interviews. Print reporters who covered him in Detroit have said he routinely used to make TV reporters who already had stationed their cameras move to conduct their interviews. -- <font color="#000000">Chicago Tribune</font></p></div>
