Gerald Wallace: THE GREATEST CHARLOTTE BOBCAT OF ALL TIME | FPP

He was a high school superstar, who decided to spend a year in college to make sure he was prepared for the pros. After one year spent with the Alabama Crimson Tide, he was a first round draft pick by the elite Sacramento Kings of the early 2000s. Unfortunately, being on a team featuring Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Vlade Divac, Doug Christie and Mike Bibby made it hard for Gerald Wallace to carve out a role. So, he spent the first three years of his career buried on the bench. But once he was selected by the expansion Charlotte Bobcats in 2004, he showed that he was one of the most versatile players and best defenders the NBA had to offer. In 6 and a half seasons in Charlotte, he routinely finished among the top in steals and blocks as he was a one time steals leader, one time First Team All-Defense and was the franchise’s first and only NBA All-star. He first teamed Stephen Jackson in 2010 to bring the Bobcats to their first ever playoff appearance. His time in Charlotte came to an end soon after this and he spent the last few years of his career bouncing around teams like the Portland Trailblazers after Brandon Roy retired and the early Brooklyn Nets with Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. His later career is better known for being a player included in the trade that brought the Blazers the draft pick which became Damian Lillard. Or the massive Nets and Celtics trade which saw the Nets give away everything for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. And even though he had a less than stellar end to his career, he still went from a raw talent to being a high energy two way star in his prime. His career is filled with highlight plays and his disregard for his body earned him the fitting nickname of “Crash”, but Gerald Wallace had rhyme to his reason as his aggressive play was always done with winning in mind.

[@stevenfrostworth9802]

Do Brandon Roy

[@sauceunlimited]

I’m telling you if Adam Morrison would Have panned out he was suppose to save Charlotte

[@Native5]

Jordan didn't know what he was doing. Jordan had help when the Bulls brought in Pip. So, why he couldn't get Gerald help.

[@oaklandwarriors9129]

Zydrunas llgauskas request

[@KelzKelz]

Wallace, Jackson and Chandler led Bobcats would beat yo ass.

[@Teddy42O]

Gerard Wallace would play great in today's era

[@James-ki5ix]

He played great in his era too, he just was on b.s. teams or didn't get to play that much.

[@Bigedub101]

​@@James-ki5ixexactly but Wallace did ball out when he got minutes

[@Jahkingfree7]

Y’all crazy. He would be an excellent 7th or 8th on the bench

[@RunHotsauce]

@@Jahkingfree7false asf, he gives championships effort so he definitely would’ve been a starter or either a 6th man at max

[@djg2002]

Crash Wallace 🫡

[@bjrobinson1282]

[@marqueswilliams345]

Can you do Alex English or Terry Cummings?

[@Iamrxch3]

Charlotte’s finest! You should do Rudy Gay, Chauncey Billups or Jeff Teague

[@omoowobhd]

Crash was an exciting, explosive player whose potential was wasted alot being under utilized & on losng teams...Miss him, just subscribed...

[@KGilliam91]

G Code Wallace, the GOAT Bobcat. Kemba could score but Wallace played both ways.

[@Dantana773]

[@shabazz360]

I watched his pre Bobcats career high game in Sacramento when Peja got hurt. Been a fan since the Kings days !!

[@itisnottaken4444]

Michael Redd and Ray Felton would be good for this

[@freezhollywood]

My boy Crash!! He was so underrated in Portland

[@thatcomicguychris4877]

Life long Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats/Hornets fan and Crash will never be forgotten by me. That man came to work everyday and keep the lights on in Charlotte during during his time here. One of my favorites and will be for the foreseeable future!

[@Bigedub101]

As a fan I won't forget too and was MJ like on. NBA Live and 2K

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

Props for the Gerald Wallace video! Please do one for Ralph Sampson and Deron Williams.

[@evanjordan5075]

Super super athletic and could do it all. Like forwards like him, Shawn Marion, and Andrei Kirlenko who could impact a game on offense and defense.

[@Coopercrack]

I loved this one. You should do Josh Smith and Alex English sometime.

[@michaelbarnes2126]

Gerald “Crash” Wallace was fun to watch. Put his body on the line a lot and was crazy athletic. One of my favorites watching growing up

[@MAXIMUSWE]

I remember him and andrei kirilenko around that time in terms of wings that could produce bigs numbers. Imagine having them both on one team!

[@blakebrown84]

Gerald Wallace was a slashing player who played for the worst franchise in team history. He is an Alabama native who played at University of Alabama. He gave everything that he had on the court and played under former Bobcats owner/NBA great Michael Jordan.

[@Native5]

Jordan like others didn't know what he had and the Bobcats haven't been the same. He didn't understand to get someone to play with Gerald. The Bulls did it for him.

[@isiahbraun8704]

Thank you for this one here man.been asking bout him 4 a while bro good-looking.

[@lashgoshotwheels1127]

Thank you,🙂 and I like the art work

[@Rarebopbruha]

Please do shareef Abdul rahim 🙏🏾❤️

[@peace_of_mind_00]

As a heat fan from florida. I lived in carolina when wallace was playing there. He was the only reason the bobcats were worth watching on the local channel back then!

[@craiggrayson9036]

So nobody else don't remember his other nick name before crash! They called him G Force i always like that nick name

[@chitownyon708]

Do one on John Wallace from syracuse bro.... excellent work my brother... you should be on espn or fs1......

[@kdtrey6840]

[@CirilloRuca]

He was heavily underappreciated.

One of my all time favorites

Ayyyy.. I requested this once! Good looking out on the Gerald Wallace video!

[@savlosavage]

Even crazier he passed the FBI entry ... the man is a whole dawg

[@conlenodriscoll4464]

Very cool, unique channel good video

[@dontdoittoyoself6786]

Yoooo you know how to pick um. Gerald Wallace was a problem.

[@KDRusha]

As a kid, I always wanted to be different with my fandom. Being from San Diego, I was a Colts and Pacers fan, and Gerald Wallace was my favorite player with the Magic being my favorite team. LOVED Gerald’s game, emulated it a bit in my own game with the rebounding and hustle.

[@dariuseasterlin9249]

He was such a a buckettttt

[@mikeonthemccomedy2465]

G-WALLACE WAS DEFINITELY, UNDER RATED!!

[@DyckmanCity204]

Josh Smith please

[@declondalrymple6751]

Micheal redd ,Brandon Roy ,Danny Granger.

[@KenyiaBonner]

If Charlotte bobcats let Gerald Wallace be a starter at point guard position put Raymond Felton at SG and raja bell as SF Boris diaw at PF and tyson Chandler at C they would've been a much better team in my opinion but back then they wasnt letting small forward play point guard position

[@dereksupernaut]

people claim the Kings got robbed by the Lakers & the Refs in '02... the Kings refused to play Wallace in playoffs for 3 years despite being the perfect all-effort 20 minute per night #8 man on the team, then did not protect him... Gerald Wallace was one of the best players from '06 to '12 with good offensive & defensive numbers & elite athleticism... in '06 had 2.5 steals and 2.1 blocks!!! then in '10 had 10 boards at 6 feet 7 inches taking a weak Charlotte franchise to the playoffs... fun player to watch... fax!!!

[@mediumtecca7460]

Being from the same hometown as him and only seeing him a few times he’s a pretty chill guy but was a beast on the court 2 different personalities 😂

[@yanncarduner4516]

Congratulations your channel is so dope!Really cool to see you're highlighting ballers like Gerald Wallace

[@tonochiehardy9465]

He was a underachiever in the NBA he had 1 good game made all star but otherwise he was mediocre in the NBA

[@yanncarduner4516]

Good offensive plays happen thanks to people like him who always dive for the ball and go for chase down blocks

[@michaelrossLegit]

Glad to see the channel growing

[@julianrojas4792]

Used to love the way him and Josh Smith played defense and blocked shots.
