NBA Wallpaper: Ben Wallace #3

Big Ben Wallace

''You couldn't be happier to have a guy like Ben Wallace on your team.'' - Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich said.

Ben Wallace is one of the most successful defenders in the NBA history.

Ben Wallace (born September 10, 1974 in White Hall, Alabama) is especially intimidating with his shotblocking and defending the basket from drives, allowing his teammates to be aggressive on the perimeter, a defensive scheme used extensively by the Pistons. His uncanny defensive timing allows him to defend with great intensity without committing a foul (career average of 2.1 fouls per game). In addition, he is seen also as one of the most reliable contributors, rarely failing to deliver in important games.

His drawback is his offensive game. Wallace's averages on offense are a mediocre 6.6 points and 1.3 assists per game. His role on offense is mainly to roam near the basket for close range shots when left open and go after offensive rebounds. Like other big men in the NBA, namely Shaquille O'Neal and Wilt Chamberlain, Wallace is a poor free throw shooter.

Played with teams:
- Washington Wizards (1996-1999);

- Orlando Magic (1999-2000);

- Detroit Pistons (2000-2006).

Wallace signed a four-year, US$ 60 million contract with the Chicago Bulls. His signing was hyped as making the Bulls instant contenders in the Eastern Conference.

Ben Wallace:
- 4-time NBA All-Star: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006;
- won NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons (2004);
- 4-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year: 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006;
- the only player in NBA history to record 1,000 rebounds, 100 blocks, and 100 steals in 4 consecutive seasons (2001-04);
- the only undrafted player in NBA history to be voted a starter for the NBA All-Star Game;
- member of the 2002 USA Basketball World Championship team.

Ben Quotes:

- “That's the key to our success. Everyone just goes out and plays their role. No one is trying to do it by themselves. Everyone is just relaxed and going through the flow.”
- “Again, it was funny how many problems Shaq had against 6’8”
- “Whether it's rebound, defend, try to play the passing lanes, try to get stops, whatever. Whatever I can do I'll do to help this team win.''

NBA Wallpaper - about the most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history

- NBA Wallpaper: Reggie Miller #31

#31 Reggie Miller

- selected by the Indiana Pacers in the first round (11th pick overall) of the 1987 NBA Draft;

- played 18 years in the same team – Indiana Pacers;

- World Champion gold medallist and Olympic gold medallist;

- Reggie played more games with the same team than all but two players in NBA history, John Stockton and Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz.

The most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history, Miller is No. 1 all-time in 3-pointers attempted (6,321) and made (2,506). He is the franchise's all-time leader in scoring and assists and stands 14th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

Reggie said: «I showed up each and every day to play. I played in 80 percent of my games, maybe more. I played hurt. You never knew when someone was coming to an Indiana Pacers basketball game for the first time – maybe on a dare, maybe they had just gotten tickets – but you never knew if they were coming for the first time. And I always wanted that person to go away thinking, "Man, who was that 31? He's a really great player." I always wanted them to remember that they had an enjoyable experience when they saw the Indiana Pacers play, and that always drove me to come to the gym early, get my warmup done early, mentally prepare, watch my tape, get ready and it's worked for 18 years.»
