- April 3, 2001 - While the 2001-02 season is widely considered Ben Wallace's breakout year, his first season in Detroit, the year prior, featured much of what we'd come from the soon-to-be four-time Defensive Player of the Year. Starting 80 games for a Detroit Pistons team that finished just 32-50, Wallace quietly entered his name as a viable Defensive Player of the Year candidate, averaging 13.2 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals. Despite operating in relative anonymity, Wallace finished tied for fifth (alongside David Robinson) in DPOY voting.

Defense. Defense. Defense. Gotta love Big Ben Wallace.
Appreciate your effort by including the former Pistons play-by-play announcer, the late Fred McLeod.
nobody in the current nba comes close to ben wallace when it comes to blocking shots... his anticipation and timing is a joy to watch
Miles Turner or Bam or Jaren Jackson
@@osas5211 Bam doesn't average more than 1.5, so no
@@osas5211 should've been Turner but he kept regressing every year. Pacers don't even seem to have a blueprint for him even though he is still relatively young, but that may change in the coming years
@@boksugoks9312 I’m hopeful
This isn't exactly true.. The game has changed quite a bit from where players take the majority of their shots from. Ben had a substantially larger amount of plays to defend at the rim, or just in range of him, than the modern game. Ben's best year in terms of blk% is the 79th best season all time. Modern players who have eclipsed that season are JJJ (currently number 1 in single season block% history - since 73), Ibaka, Turner, Noel, Kessler, B Lopez, M Robinson, Boucher, Claxton, McGee, Gobert, and Robert Williams. Ben's next best season is 125th All-Time, a few guys you could add above that.. Not saying all those guys are Ben's level, but when guys like Ibaka, Turner, JJJ have multiple years above his best year this "nobody comes close" just isn't a fair take. I would consider Ibaka and Rob Williams similar comps to him. Both a bit traditionally undersized and lean into timing and anticipation to be successful, same as Ben. Ben is 19th in career BLK%, so he has some longevity some of those others do not, but he's just barely above Brook Lopez, and all of Gobert, Davis, Ibaka, Biyombo are above him in career BLK%.
Big Ben was truly one of a kind
Oh my god. Big Ben. VC, Timmy and Big Ben. Idols.
Wow never seen those Pistons jerseys before
This and red Sonics jerseys was rare
Big ben > gobert
And Dwight defensively
lmao skip bayless level take
@@carlossosa1359 not really, Dwight and Ben are level with each other on defense except Dwight has the slight edge in height
@@boksugoks9312 nah. Dwight couldn't take care of Shaq like Ben did at the finals. Stop it. Only one from 90s 2000s was Rodman
@@carlossosa1359Dwight can’t guard 1-3 like young Ben
Ben is one of the best when it comes to Rebounds, Steals, & Blocks. Hakeem, David Robinson, & Ben Wallace the best I've ever seen. Rodman was a monster rebounder but didn't provide many steals or Blocks.
You are good
BLOCK PARTY!!! 🎉😂😎
nba pretty much killed the need for players like Ben Wallace these days. There is some lesser versions like Robert Williams, but he isn't a star like Ben was, nor the player.
Final days of the classic horsehead unis.
He talks about blocked shots the way the booty warrior talks about booty.
