Gerald Wallace - Crash

Gerald Jermaine Wallace (born July 23, 1982 in Sylacauga, Alabama) is a professional basketball forward for the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA.

His home town is Childersburg, Alabama, where he was a McDonald's High School All American. After graduating from Childersburg High School in 2000, Wallace entered the University of Alabama. After his freshman year, he was named to the All-SEC freshman team. He then declared himself eligible for the 2001 NBA Draft, in which he was taken as the 25th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings. In Sacramento, he was a seldom-used player known mostly for his acrobatic dunks and athleticism. In 2004 the league's newest team Charlotte Bobcats recognized his talent and drafted him in their expansion draft.

Wallace started immediately for the club, and went on to have an impressive season, averaging 11.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks a game. He continued to improve in 2005-06, before getting injured in January, averaging 14.5 points and 7 rebounds, and ranking in the top 10 in the NBA in field goal percentage (54.142), blocks (2.19), and steals per game (2.44). Since the NBA began counting blocks as a statistic in 1973, only two other players (David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon) in league history have averaged over 2.0 blocks and 2.0 steals per game in a single season. Wallace is now the heart and soul of the Charlotte franchise scoring nearly twenty points if not more in every game. His leadership and hustle inspires the team.

This guy is a fuckin animal on the court. I love him on my Blazers. I only wish Batum would train with Wallace and do everything he can to become as good. They have similar body types.
