I got give credit where credit is due to Ben Wallace. He is such a tough defender. He doesn't score that much. Players like Kenyon Martin are demanding max money. Ben Wallace deserves max money. He is a deference maker on defense.

What's deference? Don't u mean difference? LOL.

Ooops you caught me on another one of my typos.

I guess I just have defense on my mind. Ben Wallace is a difference maker, because he makes the other team alter their shot when they go to the basket.

I can't stand Kenyon Martin. I've seen him act a fool too many times on the court then whine and moan about everything. I just killed* him on my "NBA Ballers" game too, haha.

*To be politically correct--which, if you aren't, you're a racist somehow--when I say "killed" here, I do not mean "ended his life", I mean scored a lot and defeated him. Now, I hope I didn't offend anyone, because that is the worst thing anyone can ever do.

I read this old article in Slam magazine about Ben Wallace. Charles Oakley said Ben was at his basketball camp in Virginia a long time ago when he was a teenager & Ben was very quiet. Charles asked any of the teenagers if they wanted to play against Charles one on one & one of the teenagers pointed to Ben & said to Charles, why don't u play him. So Ben played Oakley one on one & Charles said that Ben broke his nose & busted his lip playin against him hahahahahahahahahahaha. Charles said he was so impressed with Ben that he told his old college coach about Ben at Virginia Union. Ben met Virginia Union basketball coach & Ben tried to get into the school but his score for the SAT was poor so Charles told Ben to go to Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio. Ben went there & got accepted & he played for the team. He also washed cars at Charles car wash that he owned in Cleveland while he went to school. Ben was undrafted when he came to the NBA & he got his first start with the Washington Bullets. The Bullets traded him to Orlando for Ike Austin. Ben did good in Orlando but he ended up gettin traded to Detroit for Grant Hill & the rest is history.

The man plays great D, and defense is precisely what is needed to beat this offensive powerhouse Lakers team. Lol, did y'all see him last night when he went up to block a shot one time (I think in the second half) and once he got up, he realized it would be goaltending, so he brought his arms way down, lol. He DID goaltend in another instance though, or at least they CALLED it goaltending, I didn't think it was, though.
