If you follow Page 5 of the sports section or just listen to talk radio religiously like I do, then you heard Ben Wallace is back with my Bad Boys.
Ever since he bolted for the bucks, er… Bulls, I never held back on my boos. So, when I heard the jarring Mike Valenti deliver the breaking news, my red, white and blue blood made me a little skeptical. I mean, not only did he shed his fearsome fro,’ but he’s not good anymore. Bottom line. Then, I heard the average age of a Piston was 25 and realized Big Ben was going to be taking on more of a mentor role, to which I humbly concurred. Plus, when Mason does the extra elongated B-B-B-B-B-Beeeeeen Wallace introduction, complete with the Undertaker gong, a small piece of my past will be re-instituted.
Welcome back, Ben.
Now, try not to deliberately get hacked when we’ve got five team fouls.

eh….there’s not much to say about this when the move doesn’t hurt the cav’s or help the pist’. He was the vet leader for the cav’s last year.
With Detroit trying to rebuild I dont see this really doing anything but prolonging the team from getting into a rhythm of good seasons again because you know he’s about to check officially out
thought he was going to retire???
Who could turn down the allure of
another pay-day to do absolutely
nada on the court–Get Money!!!
Thank you and they’re welcome
CIAA stand up!!!
As much as I love the guy, bad move Pistons, that is unless they’re trying to use him as an ambassador for a young guy.
Being…
Ben is a great team player. Although his skills had significantly diminished when he was playing with my Cavaliers, he was always able to grab more than a handful of boards (even in limited minutes) and was an enforcer on the court. A nice veteran addition for the Pistons.
CIAA stand up!!!

Guess who?
Just wanted to drop the grave off
this nigga slow as frankenstein. its crazy how he got exposed in the playoffs. he can’t guard anyone with above average quickness.
He couldn’t guard a soul. A player
protected by those around him and
as C-Weed said above ‘exposed’
once the pieces of the Pistons of a
few years stopped firing.
The city of Detroit gets way too much run on this site. Why do we need to hear about this nothing of a signing?
