You should listen to it during the introduction of the players before the game. Back then we had the best introduction of players by Mason in the entire NBA 🔥🔥🔥
Joel Villarreal you're an idiot, how do people take you seriously? It wasn't just the fans, the players ran into the seats too and started swinging on the fans.
I rocked a fro and them arm bands because I wanted to be like him. I ended up being a undersized forward until my senior year until they really needed a 2 guard.
right, back when players scored less cuz teams actually played defense today in day they score 100 points and half of them are of freethrows, everything is a foul now in day, back then there was hardly any flopping.
I love how much Blaha and Laimbeer are excited to see Ben Wallace go off (at least by his standards). Ben was such a fun player to watch and was just about the easiest guy ever to root for. One of the great ones.
@@patrickmatthews8191 true, but the 04 Pistons were the best defense ever with the Bulls a bit away in 2nd. I’d pay to see Jordan face off against the 04 Pistons though, it would of been his toughest matchup ever. Yes the Bulls win but it would of been an interesting matchup.
The biggest difference between Larry and Flip, right here. LB ran plays for Ben, included him in the offense. For all his quirks, those Pistons loved LB.
When you were looking at Ben Wallace you were "Looking at the Man!" From 2001 through 2006 I bought NBA League Pass almost solely to watch what Big Ben brought to the hardwood each and every night. Nobody outworked Big Ben, and I mean nobody!
I was only 11 but during this Pistons runs till 08 I literally never missed a game. This core of Pistons truly brought a new energy to the city and It's fans.
I mean wow for a Center position his form for jump shots was amazing on a lot of those FG he could of stepped back 5 feet & hit straight 3’s no problem. 2004-2005 Detroit Pistons were Unstoppable that’s on everything 💯
His form looks so good for a guy who can't shoot well. I mean I know Dwight and even DeAndre show good form at the line, but Wallace isn't using set shots here, they're all Js lol
Listed at 6"9. He admitted he's closer to 6"7. Before his jersey retirement ceremony at the Palace last year, Rip Hamilton said the 2 of them were about the same height. And Rip is 6"6-6"7.
Yep and shit coaches didn't appreciate his skills shooting like that. Amare don't have shooting skills like that before till his coach learn to enhance his mid range shooting and that he dide it.
The league hated the Pistons. Should have 5 titles, stole 1 with the phantom foul in 88 and Tim Donaghy (cheating ref) admitted he threw the 2005 championship series.
If Ben Wallace played in the 60s ( an era before the 3 point line) for a storied franchise under a great coach He'd probably win 10 + championships and average 17ppg and 25rpg with Lord knows how many blocks/ steals. #ABSOLUTETRUTH #LORD
I remember watching the '05 Finals Game 7 as a kid. Ben played exceptionally well offensively, especially considering the game was a defensive grind on both sides. He was tied in field goals made with Rip that game (but shot at a way higher clip of 60%). Feel like he could've been a way more significant offensive presence in his game if it was developed properly.
Beginning at 1:33: the sequence where Richard Jefferson shoots the air ball and the hilarious sound effect played over the PA system afterward...🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Priceless. Also, you have to love George Blaha on the call..very empathic.
@@MultilinguistGlobalFitBlessed Emphatic is an adjective that is of emphasis. He is emphasizing his emotions of excitement and momentary dominance during this juncture of the game, putting emphasis on his scoring. Empathetic means you are showing feelings and concern with and for someone if they need emotional support. It is an adjective form of empathy.
I can’t even believe it has been nearly 20 years! Seems like a couple years ago. I remember Blaha saying “folks, don’t take for granted what you are witnessing, this is history in the making! “ Can’t believe how many games Chauncey and Rip won us with their shooting and Ben got every rebound.
It was a big game too, which makes it even better. Imagine if Ben had an accurate jumper every night - the Pistons were winning even with their opponents being able to leave him open at range, so imagine how many points they'd have had all season if teams were forced to spread out and actually guard him from midrange.
If Ben Wallace can shoot like this, the 04 Pistons can legit adapt to the high scoring pace we have today and compete against the Prime GSW teams that won chips.
He might not be the biggest of big men in nba standards. Yep, not real big, but damn he is a real man. He even made metta world peace look like a kid. Malice in the palace baby.
How did Darko ruin the video? You can barely see him. Or are you referring to Mehmet Okur? The one who touched Ben Wallace as if Ben's body is heating up?
Crazy the same team that got swept by the lakers the previous year takes it to game 7 to a team that nearly sweeps the Lakers that year. Granted the nets team wasn’t the exact same two the year before still food for thought
Yeah, I wonder if leaning back and fading a tad helps with his shooting arc. Just a guess? I used to have a better shot sometimes when I did that as well for some reason.
Ben was a too strong on shooting in his first few years, he developed that little fade to soften the shot to allow for a better chance of a soft bounce on the rim.
I was 3 years old and I dont remember any of this. one thing i remembered was their parade and until I have the championship dvd thats when I was like ok
Fan base abandoned Ben after Flip took over as coach a few seasons later. When Flip said Ben couldn't get touches anymore, fans agreed. I was glad when he left. Let the man get a few. Flip was awful for this team.
Wow the disrespect on Ben Wallace like really sometimes, centers can occasionally shoot the basketball when you don't expect it to happen. Just look at 4:03 of how much space he had to shoot or to drive to the basket 😂😂😂

When you realize a Defensive minded center who barely shoots the ball is better than Ben Simmons 💀💀💀
Omg 💀💀💀
Just plain stupidity
Terrible comparison
Is F s h i t u put LEGEN like Ben close to B U M and Simmons...
F hell
Too bad ben simmons is in china now
That freaking Gong/grandfather clock sound effect at the end of when he makes a shot is fire
Maxton the best thing ever.. it shows how big Wallace was BIG Ben

The hypest 16 points in NBA history
As a native Detroiter this make me wanna cry...i remember these games like yesterday. '03-'04 was the year man. The city was going strong man!!!
Joel Villarreal you're an idiot, how do people take you seriously? It wasn't just the fans, the players ran into the seats too and started swinging on the fans.
That was 04-05 you fucking idiot. Miller is talking about 03-04.

44 points with 1 minute left in the third quarter. I miss those days.

haha - RIP Defence - you wrote this a year a ago, and it's only gotten worse
Notice how Ben started the game with a dunks and layups the 1st 5 mins of the game, that's how you get into your rhythm to shoot jumpers.
The hardest working man in the nba!
Congrats Ben on being inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame!
yup especially since ben wasnt even drafted.
It's underestimated a lot how clutch Ben was. He had a lot of great game 7's just off the top of my head
Vs Orlando
Vs San Antonia,
Vs New Jersey
Vs Miami too

When nba was fun to watch best nba team ever ben billups rip prince sheed unstoppable
96 Bulls are also an elite defensive team and are clearly better so 04 Pistons are not the best team

a forgotten talent, so underrated I hope he makes it into the HOF
He has to he is one of best defenders and rebounders of his time
Underrated? He's 4 times defensive player of the year. He'll make it.
This aged well

Big facts
So this is why the new Ben Wallace card is so damn good
Brian Scalabrine sighting!!!
Gotta watch this every time it pops in my feed
I remember this game like it was yesterday I was a freshmen in Highschool, and screaming my but off! Some of the best memories of my life.
I was only 11 but during this Pistons runs till 08 I literally never missed a game. This core of Pistons truly brought a new energy to the city and It's fans.
lambier is loving watching Ben.

Exactly 😅
Where was he i didnt see him

Back when every team not named the lions were WINNERS in Detroit
I love that gong sound
Everything the Cavs want Tristan Thompson to be
i renember that game lol, i was watching this in a friend house and he was a nj fan, he started goin on a rant when ben keep getting shots lolol

Jake Rojas Imagine him and wilt chamberlain as teammates. Two of the strongest players ever with wilt being the strongest
Basically, he'd have been Gus Johnson.
In the period 2000-2005, when Ben jumped into a block in front of anyone, it was usually a brick, an airball or a block.
his form looks perfect, nice swishes

Ben Wallace is the greatest "Ben" in NBA history
I miss watching the pistons on upn 😭😭
Ahhhhh blaha with the call, doesn't get any better.
Deeeeeetroit Basketball
Count that baby and a foul
Ben was a Monster
Greatest trade ever.... Ben Wallace for Grant Hill... Joe Dumars' best deal ever..

Ben Wallace: Hold My Beer

Richard Jefferson looking like a real defensive juggernaut at 4:35. Lol, no box out or anything he's just watching.
Welcome to the HOF BIG BEN!!!
I remember this game 🔥
Ben shooting it like Horace Grant, it was a blowout so he didnt even play the 4th quarter.
Ben killing that shit!
big ben on fire
ben big wants this match
came to love
If Ben Wallace can shoot like this, the 04 Pistons can legit adapt to the high scoring pace we have today and compete against the Prime GSW teams that won chips.
That Pistons team actually did have bigs that could shoot like Rasheed Wallace and Mehmet Okur.
Ben doing it.....
If he played like this every night he would easily be a MVP caliber player. His form wasn't half bad
5x All NBA & 3 top 10 MVP finishes regardless. 😎
Ben Wallace with 99 rating lol
i remember watching this when i was 14 years old screaming at the top of my lungs "FEAR THE FRO" LOL
Miss these days!

The Greatest Team Ever.
Can’t believe it went 7 games
1 minute left in the 3rd but still 44 pts? nowadays rockets, gsw or okc can drop 44 in a single quarter bcos of lacking D
Vlad Putin not exactly just a faster pace
Remember, he also did this against a team with Scalabrine on roster
DeShawn9333 but he also had Darko MiliGOAT to help him out
Corliss Williamson with The Pistons, and The GOAT 🐐, Brian Scalabrine with The Nets 😎.
Crazy the same team that got swept by the lakers the previous year takes it to game 7 to a team that nearly sweeps the Lakers that year. Granted the nets team wasn’t the exact same two the year before still food for thought
to the HOF!
Feels so good. Ben was on his bullshit that day. 😅
Darko's awkward high-five at 4:29 😂
Ben Wallace had a good form on his shot just don't know why he bricks.
At that time who is more tougher than Ben Wallace? Garnett? Attest?
I notice that on his jumpshots he unnecessarily fades. I ain't mad at it, just an observation. Lol like at 4:03
Yeah, I wonder if leaning back and fading a tad helps with his shooting arc. Just a guess? I used to have a better shot sometimes when I did that as well for some reason.
Ben was a too strong on shooting in his first few years, he developed that little fade to soften the shot to allow for a better chance of a soft bounce on the rim.
Of course NJ lost, couldn't have been prepared for Ben to give you 18 on 80% shooting from MID RANGE
