Ben Wallace speaks on leaving the Pistons for the Bulls

[phil1980boy]

Smart move Ben. You took the money, got paid and now you back home in Detroit where you belong.

[MambaCash]

fuck Ben Wallace , Artest all day !

[caby24]

f u ben for leavin, but welcome back!

[K3BANG]

why did you do ittt --

[ogie]

Every pistons fan in the world felt betrayed and spat in the face when Ben left the pistons for the bulls, he was the heart & soul of the pistons' tenacious & relentless defense & one of the beloved athletes in the city and traded it for a couple of measly dollars, too bad the bulls didn't got the expectations & results they wanted from him and his career went downhill especially after joining the cavs...

[knightlife501]

@ogie

dude i have to agree. I remember when the pistons were the bomb! I'm from LA but i went for the pistons all the way. I rather see Wallace get one of his monster blocks than watch a hundred "all star" dunks

[Ruukk1]

@busuncle23  LOl he did get traded back :)

[ibangedbetty12]

look, i am a big fan of big ben as in very big, bigger than he i can say ... but you know what? he made a mistake in leaving the pistons... in my opinion... he sacrificed three years with crappy teams...

[allshallperish77]

despite being a celts fan

i loved pistons lineup from 04-08

chuancy, rip, tayshaun,rasheed, ben

were awsome together i loved that lineup they were the bad guys of the nba

but i like rondo,ray,peirce,kg and perk better but they were still really good

[KGPF21]

ben didnt leave, they kicked him out, for nothin.

[HumblDestroyr]

welcome back to tha D big ben of course he is way too old to contribute like he used to but it is still nice to see him back in a pistons uniform

[brooksy19921]

on the pistons that was ben at his best

[Csierra526]

good move ben look where u r now

i wonder if he'll even play for Phoenix

[RayAllenDominates]

no he just got bought out, so hes a free agent now, he might go back to detroit

[adi1096]

LOL look where he is now... THE PISTONs!

[LAthugzLA]

dum ass decision

[PanhandlingMisery]

I give huge props to Joe D for letting Ben go at that time. He knew he would only get worse and no Pistons fan wanted him to go.

One of the few GMs in the league with balls.

[adi1096]

LOL hes back.

[lilchampx21]

i agree with reynmane. but ben dont care cuz he still gets 12 million a year

[NallePu83]

This season he got 14,5 mill. He got more paid than Lebron James. But next season Lebron will get more

[chitoz666]

ben wallace's career died as soon as he left the pistons...he wuz garbage as a bull & he can't even git into the starting rotation as a cav...

[RayAllenDominates]

well hes been having way more injuries when he left the pistons

[Reynmane]

We treated him like a god at the games, why the fuck would u leave a championship team and fuck yourself...Look what happens. No one gives a shit bout em now

[payaza2002]

Yeah he's a nobody now riding the bench for cleveland

[kingdavid3]

Age caught up to him!

[wizardzwish]

i think the detriot really want to released him, because of tendinitis, they only reason to give low salary cap that chicago have more big offer

[hirollind23]

i was pissed that he left to but you have to look at it from his point of view that was going to be his last chance to get a big contract thats why he left from a fan point of view fuck him he left d town lol

[SuperRaad]

Since he left the Pistons he has been geting worse

[dialblova]

what a greedy fuck!!!! he wanted more money!!!!!!!!!!

and look at him now....fucking back up!!!! you are a dumb ass wallace....

[ggbiggs2693]

he's only a backup because he's coming back from an injury. he was starting before he broke his leg. he'll also most likely win a another ring with cleveland , who swept detroit btw. I think things are lookin pretty good actually

[dialblova]

he should have sticked it out...he ruined the detroits by thinking selfishly....detroit had to get webber (whos a fucking a dumbass) and now KWAME!!!! (whos a major dumbass) and rasheed looks old....

tsk tsk...

i think atl might win actually, if he does, booooyaaaaaaaaaaa suck on it wallace...

[ggbiggs2693]

lol hawks, lebron bustin that ass

[ravenmcastro]

why did you left detroit,thats a great and teamwork team

[TongTang3]

I am not even a lakers fan(actually a lakers hater) but cmon, you gus beating the lakers? thats just a joke. Its not like you are saying adding tim duncan or anything, Ben is just a salary cap eater now.

[sakunjawindninja]

now but not then

[SparzWizard]

Yes, my Celtics would have some competition xD.

Ben Wallace AND Chauncey Billups with Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, and Richard Hamilton! The unstoppable team!

[Julian2415]

Chauncey Billups is on the Denver Nuggets

[chaunceybilIups]

and ben wallace has a broken leg right now

[weijianleong]

he plays more explosive with the pistons

[bigjabba]

...

[Guerrillachop]

Ben Wallace is better off where's hes at in cleveland n right now cleveland>detroit

[DGKFurrLyfe]

hes guna b tha new jordan on da bulls

[KobrickCryant]

I don't think they'll need you no more. Ben might beg to come back to Detroit. Joe Dumars so damn smart. He turned the table so fast, Allen Iverson can give you instant advantage, and he can dump off AI at the end of the season or AI takes a pay-cut, huge cap relive, they gon' get superstar in 2010. WATCH OUT MY LA FAKERS!!

[caspargomez00]

I certainly am impressed by Allen Iverson's 15 ppg. Did you predict this huge of an impact?

[KobrickCryant]

didn't i also said, "and he can dump off AI at the end of the season or AI takes a pay-cut, huge cap relive, they gon' get superstar in 2010." check it.

[bukalikali]

wallace was in detroit since 1995 and now hes leaving.wat a shame

[IOYB]

Uhhhh...what? He left Orlando for Detroit in the 1999-2000 season and left for Chicago almost three years ago.

[adi1096]

lol someone lives under a rock.

[lovetosjshy]

Grant Hill - Ben Wallace 2000

[KobrickCryant]

Money? Come on, he ended his career with a pretty embarassing fashion. He should never left Detroit.

[BreakYoAnkles911]

wallace is on the cavs now. we all no wallace hasnt done shit compare to his days with the pistons. he was beast in detroit , now not so much. i think it would be a good idea for him 2 go back to detroit i know that sounds crazy but i think it could work out.

[CheeseThief]

I don't think so,Dumars wouldn't trade an aging beast :( And Detroit already has a solid team,except for Sheed,whos apparently getting old too and most likely be traded.

[OZ863]

its like this the 1st year with the bulls they didnt get owned they did realy well and he did improve the team an the 2nd year u cant jus blame ben there are other guys on the team u know an who wudnt take 60mill an the funny thing is the piston r still good but they dnt have that umph since beens left

[ragingbull357]

do dis niggas workouts u'll get big as shit!!

[TheMichiganian]

Ben didn't have to do any BUT push Artest. Artest should've gone on to be an Olympic sprinter, the way he ran away from Wallace. Had the look on his face that he made a BIG mistake. Ben has, and has always had a smooth demeanor. Artest is just hot-headed. Half the Pistons could've whipped his butt in a one-on-one.

Should've just let Joe D beat him up...

[shotbboy]

bulls got owned the year wallace was there lol

[tric792]

Man seriously what would of happened if he stayed in Detroit

[horrorclassic]

another championship

[cbo94]

what happened to your career dude?

[la16i]

Age may have something to do with it. there are other factors but i don't know what is truly going on.

[TheIronDeath]

Holy shit Ben Wallace is built like a brick shithouse...I don't blame Artest for running away like a little girl when Wallace pushed him, he would've gotten his ass kicked.

[ballaholic531]

he had 60 million reasons to leave

[juniuorabc]

caraio,q vídeo do cassete,um dá nem pá ver!!!vai tomar no cúúúúúú!!!!

[LKHtriplex]

ECF: detroit vs cleveland

wallace vs wallace

king vs prince

[Dreamhaxx02]

Ben didnt have that good a Contract in Detroit he made around 5 million dollars in his last year.. and it was becoz when he came from Orlando nobody really talked about him being that good so now Pistons offered him a 6 yeared contract with a total of 21 million dollas.. i guess he was happy, but now when Pistons wanna resign him Bulls come and say we give you 60 million dollas for playing here in 2 years + 11 million first year and 12 million extra the year after.. i understand why he said yes.

[thirdshift47]

The Pistons were going to make a man that averaged 4 points a game into the highest paid Piston in team HISTORY(not to mention a an opportunity to compete for a championship,evey year,as well as continue as a perrenial all-star).Recent history shows that Joe D. made the right decision as Ben has become virtually irrelevant since leaving Detroit,while the team has moved on seamlessly.Jason Maxiell has made Piston fans forget about Ben.

[la16i]

The salary the Pistons would've paid him was $48 million. That still didn't match what the Bulls offered him (60 mil).

Pistons fans are very bitter. But I know if I was in Ben's situation, I would've taken the Bulls offer.

[sugar1754]

Yeah man, times are rough. It's hard to get by nowadays on just $48 million.

[LKHtriplex]

im glad wallace isnt with the bulls. the bulls are making him look bad. hope they beat boston in the 2nd round and face detroit in the east finals

[flat6tt]

i heard that he didnt lik the coach

[LKHtriplex]

me too

[bengarrettandmariano]

right

[AgentClutch]

i HATE HIS FUCKING GUTS u r a NBA player u already get payed millions of dollars y they hell did u need more? u can deal with one more coach come on ASSHOLE. LOOK AT UR STATS WHEN U WERE A PISTON DO U SEE Y U GOT NBA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD 4 TIMES. ALL OF UR AMAZING PLAYS HAVE CAME WHEN U WERE A PISTONS NONE IN CHICAGO OR CLEVELAND OR ORLANDO. ALL THE MIXES PEOPLE MAKE OF U WERE WHEN U WERE A PISTON. NOW PEOPLE MAKE VIDEOS OF U GETTING POSTERIZED IN A CHICAGO UNIFORM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yakziii]

shut up dumass he can beat u up lyk wat he did to ron artest

[westDETROITboy]

He didn`t do anything to ron artest but push him, The fans were the ones who actualy banged it out.

[TheRozzer]

Artest's out of his mind -- that's why he did what he did. He has no control over himself, and he's insane.

[bengarrettandmariano]

when did he get posterized in chicago

[LKHtriplex]

your right bassocr

[bassocr]

cmon BEN nba players (specially players at your caliber) get paid enough

why not stay in DETROIT with mr big shot, rip, prince, and sheed

[armadaek]

he can play better than chicago now in cleveland with lbj

[spitfire2332]

Ben Wallace is past his prime, he fucked up leaving detroit... look at his stats. He will NEVER be as good as he was in Detroit.

[icocic]

Ben Wallace forever the best defansive player in NBA!FIrst 5 in Detroit Pistons miss Big Ben!Forever the BEST!!!

[COWBOYS82288TRIPLETS]

ben did not leave do to $ its really because flip!!

[cffl23]

big ben with the cavs will be good just his presint in the paint. if u were him u would take that money too reply if u would not take all that money

[nicey23]

sellout

[paternagnstuser]

I'd leave to if I was offered a retarded contract

[LKHtriplex]

finally he leaves chicago. he really sucked

[xXxbLaZebOixXx]

Ben wallace is going to dominate the rebs, the blocks EVERYTHING from now on

Lebrons got his back and hes going to be on fire

[jacksun12]

they trade a terrible contract for another terrible contract, good work getting larry hughes paxson

[NFLChannel6]

well now he can speak on leving the bulls 4 da cavs

[deffjeff37]

im so glad wallace is out of chicago, he did nothing for the bulls except give them a bad rep. the first game without wallace, they scored over 100 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. now the cavs are going to have a big problem.

[DarthLJ16]

He lost his motivation in chicago. In Detroit, Ben had a powerful team to back him up making him an exellent player because he knew he had backup. In chicago on the other had, he wasn't backed up as well, making him far weaker. Besides, don't hold a grudge against Ben, he led you guys to the second round in the playoffs two years ago, something the Bulls could not have done without him back then. Also, did you see ben play yesterday?? DAMN.... Ben's back, and motivated

[papperdodado]

yea hes selfish the pistons offered him a close deal with the bulls and the bulls suck asaszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Lope917]

michoi363 don't call ben selfish cause he took 16 million a year job for 4 years, there is no one in the world that if they were offer a fourtune they wouldn't take it.

if your making 50000 a year and offer 250000 would you take it, that isn't even a question, of course you would, and i would too.

[Schmokers]

now hes gone!!! thank god. that piece of shit is the worst offensive player in the NBA. great D, but jesus christ he cant shoot. thanks chicago for trading him

[shitzz12]

ye ye gonna be sickk

[CELTICS4LIFE1992]

hes gona have to speak on leavin the bulls now cause hes with lebron in cleveland

[gregpimpmack2]

"I wouldn't be able to do somthings I did here with out these guys" Damn right Ben, you an't shit with out Chauncey, Rip, Sheed and Tay hiding the stuff you suck at. Have fun with missing the playoffs this season. I hope your enjoying your cash too. Go Pistons!!

[mudvaynemigs]

Thats what happen every 10 years... just like Dennis Rodman Trade, after 2-3 seasons... hes gone and now... Ben Wallace Trade... this is his 2nd season with Chicago... 1 more year and his GONE... I am one of his Die-Hard fan... and I HATE to say this... but its TRUE...

[michoi363]

bEN IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY. HE IS SELFFISh.

[LKHtriplex]

so he only wants the money.......he left his friends in detroit for 60 million bux

[casperro18]

Ben Wallace is Piston 4 ever....

[huszarvirtus]

ben wallace 4ever

[jgpistons3]

ya go pistons

[LKHtriplex]

hahahahahahahaha you loss to the raptors -

they only beat detroit beacause they only focus on detroit

[nightfirexxx12]

yeah but the pistons gave the bulls their first win. haha wallace may suck but we have ben gordon and luol deng.

[rcj]

how'd that loss taste last night?

[ray0333]

haha how much can u make fuck all out of 100

[gregpimpmack2]

LOL Ben Wallace is averages like 4 points and 4 rebounds now. Hows it like having a guy like that taking all your money with that 60 mil contract? We Piston fans told you shitcago fans Ben Wallace is on the decline and only wanted the money. Bulls 0-3, Pistons 2-0.

[xpbabygurl1793xp]

BULS THE BEST!

[delontesoneandonly]

u betta take a betta look at they record boo

[asimkhan2007]

HOW MANY FREE THROWS COULD HE MAKE OUT OF 100 maybe 20-30

[LKHtriplex]

100? i think somewhere between 1-10

[4Idiots]

He has been hard working on his free throw shots lately.

[LKHtriplex]

detroit still rules even without ben

[babydawg1991]

GO BULLS!!!!

[killaskillz77]

i miss ben....he isnt the same anymore. he was his best in detroit.

[brisbaneballer]

Ben Wallace is Awsome He's Got the Best Block Shot's..WARNING , never try to shoot in Ben's Face he will just smash it back in your face lol

[mwb773773]

I HATE HIM HE SUCKS

[gregpimpmack2]

2 words-SELL OUT.

Or 3 words- Big Ben Wallet

Serioulsy if Bulls fans thought they got the same hard working Ben Wallace that Detroit had then you fans need to wake up. He was horrible this season and the playoffs he was a different Ben. Not in a good way, he made excuses after excuses. Hes a loser now.

[whitetailshooter]

three words: FEAR DA FRO!!!

[bullsfan419]

stupid ben haters get a life

[ThisIsNotJerry]

stupid ben just wants the money.

[gregpimpmack2]

Im happy your not a Piston fan then, you stupid ass bandwagon fan. Fucking Detroit got rid of this guy along with the rest of shitcago this year, if Ben would of stayed he would of atleast got to the ECF again but nope he settles for his 60 million.

[bullsfan419]

[DetroitPistonsPride]

You guys can't stop the cavds either!

[mahogan]

[mahogan]

[LKHtriplex]

the spurs won that. they had a game 7 with the pistons

[nicey23]

Sellout

[3zazer1]

pistons giving ben to a free agency was stupid.brung them to back to back championships.

[bajamx07]

[tomrules96]

[8ball69er]

Lmao @ these idiots hatin on ben

[B4balla]

[initialdking]

[Crymson1]

Forget him. The Pistons were great to him and everyone loved him, and he just up and left. Forget him.

[lewissucksballs8]

[DPB54]

[nbamario]

60 millions dollars the pistons was going to give Lil Ben 50 million and a chamionship ring. And A.K.A Pistons Fan but Filp is a bad Coach 2 times game 6 in the playoff losts to D-wade suxs and King L good

[Justlovethisgame]

For 60 millions dollars, nobody can refuse an offer like that, so shut your mouth mikolo777777777

[VTECNPROUD]

ben wallace may be a good player.. but he is annoying talker. HE SAY "YOU KNOW" TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

[USNavy9115]

Fuck I would get out of the povertized city if i could. It don't matter he's doing nothing over here at chicago, just watches the ball if he doesn't feel like playing.

[hubbawubbub]

Detroit is playing good without him. They won the first game of the eastern conference yesterday.

[rezzinator1110]

I feel so bad for him in a way... to leave for a HUGE raise, then, come back... get booed like crazy... over and over again. Then to have his ass handed to him...

sux to be big ben....sux to be him.

[USNavy9115]

He would probobley be dead, the life span in the lovley city of Detroit is about 5 years so he's alot safer and probley has a nicer house in Chi-town.

[1randommofo]

I believe the word you were trying to use is spelled PROBABLY. fucking dumbass. yeah we can see the value of that good Chicago edukayshun. ROFL at your stupid ass. hahaha God, what an idiot.

[mikolos7777777]
