Celtics Coach Doc Rivers says Rasheed Wallace will retire.

According to this article on SI.com it appears Rasheed Wallace will end his NBA career following last week’s NBA finals against the LA Lakers. Wallace, always a character, will probably best be remembered for his short temper and ejections. As a Pistons fan I’ll remember him best for being the final piece to the puzzle in their quest for an NBA title in 2004. When fully focused, Wallace was a great help defender and tough match up on the offensive end. He was able to stretch defenses with his 3-point shooting ability, but often would fall too much in love with the long ball rather than using his skills in the post. Though he showed his age in the last season or two, Wallace filled in admirably as a starter for the Celtics in Game 7 when Kendrick Perkins went down. He finished with 11 points and 8 rebounds. Congratulations Rasheed; and enjoy retirement!

As I was reading up on the previews for NBA Finals Game 7 tonight between the Lakers and Celtics I came across a video of Shannon Brown’s ridiculous dunks from the other night. It’s incredible how his head nearly touches the rim on that first dunk. Enjoy!

As a graduate of Michigan State I couldn’t be happier! The Spartans will again be one of the top-ranked teams heading into the NCAA season this winter. See the link below for the Tom Izzo story. Now it’s time for me to settle in for Celtics-Lakers Game 6. I’ll have more thoughts on both topics in the morning.

Tom Izzo Stays At MSU
