as a pistons fan, i knew as soon as ben left the team, we would never win a championship ever again. i remember in 06 the pistons philosophical mindset changed with the introduction of a new coach that was incompatible to Wallace's playstyle. had larry brown stayed in detroit, no doubt the pistons would have retained wallace and most likely went on to win another championship. in 05, they were a few minutes from repeating if not for some lapses on defense. (cough rasheed wallace.) i mean the fact that the pistons didn't even return to another finals after his departure just proves how much the pistons benefited from having his defense. Really this team collapsed after chauncey was traded. those two were the most important players on the team and they kept them going.

You need to do nothing more then watch the (5) game sweep against the Lakers in the finals to understand his value. He was relentless and disruptive.

Wallace wasn't just a great defender at his peak he was arguably the greatest defender in the past 50 years. Besides Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell nobody in the history of the game had more defensive win shares than Wallace in 03-04. The two highest playoff defensive win shares belong to Wallace as well. His 03 and 04 seasons were worth 25% more than any other defensive season in the past 30 years. Think about that, no player in 30 years has been worth even 75% of what Wallace was worth defensively in his prime. Just an absolute freak.

Lol not really. The closest player to Ben wallace right now in similarities is Montrezl Harrell. Undersized with a good reach, shot blocking abilities and hustle. Wallace also had good defense, good at catching alley oops, and fought for every single rebound

A DOMINATING DEFENSIVE FORCE OF NATURE. I've never seen anything like this guy before, during or since his time. Loved watching the Pistons play back then, even tho I'm a Bulls fan. I think he'll get in in a few more years myself. He deserves to be in there.

Big Ben was the defensive player of the decade.. dude was blocking Shaq and Yao like it was nothing, you couldn’t bring the ball into the paint on the 04 pistons without getting swarmed

Im old enough to remember Bird vs Magic , Bad Boys, MJ's Bulls, San Antonio's Dynasty and that shamble that was Miami. That Pistons from 04\05 are my favorite team I ever watched. Ben and Rasheed, Billups, Hamilton, Prince, these guys where the definition of team play, effort, and heart. You watch the NBA in any era and teams take effort breaks throughout a game or season, it is understandable. A long season and a long post season and conserving some fuel in the tank is a legit thing. However, those Piston teams every damn trip down the floor against them they would D up like it was game seven. Alot of that was because of Ben Wallace. One of my favorite NBA highlights to this day was when he not only blocked Shaq, but put Shaq on his ass with only one hand. Great player should be in HOF.
