Watching "Big Ben" Wallace hold it down today against his former team made me think back to the opening footage of this interview. I remember replaying the sequence where he puts his Bulls jersey on over and over again, trying to figure out just what the fuck was going on with his chest muscles, until I realized that dude is just ripped. He's so ripped that making those tiny motions with his hands and forearms sends fucked up shockwaves throughout his entire upper-body.Tonight the Clocktower had 17 boards, good for more than half of the Pistons' total rebounding effort. Sure, it was a somewhat of a garbage game, since Chicago is staring summer vacation straight in the face and the Pistons got a little lazy, but hey, a Second Round W for a young team like that means more than one might think, and Ben Wallace was the veteran stalwart that held them together emotionally, I'm sure of it.
As much as B-Dub knows about winning in the postseason, he knows just as much about losing, Detroit having lost in the Conference Finals in '03 & '06, and in the NBA Finals in '05. Now that his new team has made it further along in the big show, and lost, Wallace will be able to help them bounce back without shame.
