Don't worry BBert. Someday, somehow, this country will recover. But until then..... persevere my friend.
I think Walton coined the phrase "officious jerk." He should have retired after his basketball career rather than torment us with his opinions.
What Sheed said about Walton is pretty much verbatim everything I have ever said about Rasheed Wallace. The guy was a classic underachiever.....and incredibly arrogant about it too. What an utter waste of talent. That so many people on this board consider him to be one of the best Blazers of all time is absolutely ludicrous. He had a journeyman level career at best.
It was the Bjoumte Bjoumte (I sure hope I spelled that right) incident that did it for me. I doubt that Wallace could even spell the word "class". Just a disrespectful punk that should not be getting any kind of air.....
It was an incident at practice. "According to a local paper, at practice the day of the trade, Rasheed Wallace pulled Wells aside, said, "Watch this," then whipped a basketball 100 feet into teammate Ruben Boumtje Boumtje. As the guy writhed on the ground, Bonzi and Sheed "giggled like schoolchildren and ran away."
So fuckin ironic that mister Wallace who was NEVER the man on any team would say something like that. I knew and talked to Maurice Lucas more than Sheed has ever thought about. Lucas said without question Walton was the best center he ever played with and was absolutely the reason the Blazers won that championship. Lucas has said that many times. Not only to me directly but to multiple people interviewing him.
Sheed hates the Blazers now. The team that paid him a lot and got him into the playoffs. What a poser
^^^^ going on a stoned drunken rant that Bill Walton "got lucky, he wasn't all that". Then just now learning Rasheed fired a missile that tagged Boumtje Boumtje. This dude hated Portland.
