I've always felt like he should have won 5, particularly 2004, he overall impact was so significant. 12.4 rebs, 3.0 blks, 1.8 stls. Top 10 in 3 def stats. Not to mention his court presence. Ben Wallace SHOULD have won DPOY from 2002, 03, (04), 05, and 06. Five straight DPOY. But I remember back in 2004 the sheer amount of lobbying Rick Carlisle keep mouthing about Ron Artest this, Artest that, blah blah. Not taking anything away from Artest (MWP now), but that was Ben Wallace's year as well.
I’ve been a Bulls fan for a long time, and Ben's time with the team was one of the most unforgettable eras for me. Night in and night out, he was always hustling and grinding.
Bro these AI images are way over-intrusive. They are so distracting and disturbing, like its a good experiment and attempt but way over done. Like you are bordering on just straight up fabrication and deception, using these AI images combined with audio recordings to make just make things up. What the hell was that video about the celtics training camp?
Ben will always be one of my favorite players to watch. Every movement he made, you could tell he was 200% effort in, and that is just so fun watch. Like they said, he was never gonna make a game winning shot, but his defense was so good, that no one on his team had to worry about game winners
As a Lakers fan, I remember bitterly watching the finals series vs the Pistons & Ben Wallace and shuddering whenever he was on the floor. Give the man his flowers, he deserves all the recognition and praise.
my thoughts exactly like wtf, it happened before, how can it remind you of something that happened later although Lebron is the guy that is notorious for making players look behind them in open lanes during his prime, but this happened years before
Plus freak genetics lol. He was only undersized in height, but was one of the strongest and most agile Centers in NBA history. But yes, it's always good to inspire young kids to be hard-working, to persevere during adversity and to be humble.
I know it's a Big Ben video but 22:10 made me realize just how insane Duncan at #1 really is, played in the era of Prime Shaq/Howard/KG/Dirk etc arguably the most stacked Big Men era.. while having to carry the offensive load at times.. plus he did played till pretty late in his career and STILL be #1 in DRTG mean miles ahead the 2nd-5th..
Duncan and Russell will forever remain as the most underrated GOAT players people do give them praise, put them in their top 10-15 lists, but they just arent looked the same as other ones. and rightfully so, as they werent the same as other ones on that list, they were more rare types of players, but unfortunately defense will always remain as less flashy, more overlooked half of the game
@@nbassasin8092 The crazy thing is that Duncan never won a DPOY in his career and it wasn't really undeserved either. Maybe except the one Camby won. But when you have monsters like Dikembe, Dwight Howard, Big Ben winning multiple DPOY awards, it's hard to win one in that era. Duncan was more consistent with his defense, but you can argue that those players were more dominant and impactful on the defensive end in their peak seasons than Duncan.
@@nostalgicbliss5547 I 100% agree with everything you said and I think the last part is key, and also, that last part is even more true when you look at MVP awards, thats why Ive never given too much attention to how many MVPs payer has, but how mny MVP level seasons player theoretically has and back on the DPOY, I never liked Lakers, and although I respect AD, Im not a fan of him, but the man has been a beast on defense for the past 3-4 seasons, and yet he is never even in debate for DPOY
To be fair, Ben did not stop shaq but he made shaq work like hell for every point he got. I can bet shaq would not want to go against him again cause no one else could pressure shaq that way at that time
WHAT.Shaq wouldn't go against him again ??? LOL. Shaq gave Ben 35/38 pts a game in that finals series,plus,they had Resheed Wallace cheating back in the lane to double Shaq.Pressure Shaq ??? WHEN ?? Shaq was getting doubled by the Piston's guards also.
The main advantage Detroit had was that Ben could cover Shaq 1 v 1 without needing help, which means he could play Shaq straight up without being murdered lol. Shaq was obviously going to get his, he was still in his prime and over a 100 pounds heavier than Big Ben, but it wasn't a complete massacre. He didn't average 40 points while grabbing 20 rebs on him and shooting 70 percent which is what Shaq would have done to majority of the Centers at that time if they defended him without help, especially if they were undersized and not named Rodman or Ben Wallace. Another important point was that Wallace out rebounded Shaq in that series, which means not a lot of second chance points for the Lakers off offensive rebounds.
Big Ben was such a unique player. Despite his low height for a center, he is physically strong and a hard working player and the 4 DPOYs he won speaks itself and a worthy member of the Hall of Fame. It's a shame he went undrafted but I think teams would look at him more seriously if he entered the NBA today.
Vince Carter posterized Ben Wallace once. To be fair, Vince has put many centers & shot blockers on posters: Mutombo, Duncan, Mourning, Rik Smits, to name a few.
A few years ago, I coached a junior team to a district championship, the schools first ever! Had a great set of kids I hade mentored and coached who really had unique tallents from one- another. My "guy" was a big kid who reminded me of myself in his age and I could coach him to adapt similar gameplay = He became a wrecking machine both in offense and defense. I showed inspiration to them from HOF NBA legends to give them a better understanding of what I was teaching them. Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Shaq, Bird, Kobe etc. My "guy" became a retro-fan of Shaq and became obsessed about watching videos of how he played, and then we practised things and I taught him what worked/not worked. So..... One day after school hoyers was over he asked me; " Shaq was like a tank who moved over evreyone, no one could stop him when he attacked, right huh?" I responded; Sure he was a beast when he was great, but remember, he became lazy in his later years. But at the end of his prime, there was this one player I bet you have not heard or seen before - "Big" Ben Wallace! "No, was he that good to stop Shaq when he was at best?" - "YES he was", and I explained while Ben was not bigger then Shaq, he was strong enough and GREAT at defense and while he was not a great scorer, his job was rebounds and defense and the scoring was up to his teammates. That made his team near SWEEP Shaq & Kobe's Lakers to win the championship followed by again making the finals the year after. I taught him and my team that fancy scoring is overrated, that in the end of the day, sucsess is bult on understanding the game, understanding the basics of gameplay and ball handeling and understanding how to work as a team to play offense- and defense. I was very strict with defense training as I saw like in modern NBA to much poor defense when they free-played. I taught them to understand the value in how to "shutt-down" your opponents, especally if the opponents team relly on 1-2 guys to make the game. There was one school-rival team that was talked about and while I had not seen the kid, mu team was talking a lot about how tall he was and how good he was + some decent player as well. They where somewhat nervous for facing them. After some practices I just told them "Remmeber what I have taught you about defense, shut-down and fast-turnovers? THAT is how you can beat them. We have here two guys (my "guy" and my Rodman clone), and as well as you two play on both offense and defense now, combined with our fine shooter/playmaker, that is a great concept for making it very hard for them to score on us. And as said happend. They did as they had been trained and won again the 2nd staright district title, and they where so cocky about how good they where X-D. Sadly, I could not coach them more (byrocratic BS at the school) and the team lost both guys mentioned (families moved away :-( ), but I really hope they will continue to learn and grow as players and human beings! Nice kids.
Loved Ben Wallace. Next to Hakeem and prime Mutumbo, the greatest defensive player in NBA history. Also no one ever crossed him on the court. Dude just looked like he took no shit. Had that quiet toughness. It's why Ron Artest even backed down from him during the Malice in the Palace. Big Ben was no joke.
As a white kid from suburban Chicago, there is only one NBA star I ever dressed up as for Halloween! Big Ben baby!! 3rd grade, rocking the blue uniform, an afro, head bands, arm bands. Best Halloween ever!! Big Ben is a legend!
Definitely one of the 5 best defensive players to ever play in the NBA. Strong as a bull, physically and mentally tough, tenacious, smart, agile with an incredible engine. Made watching defense fun! Him, Pippen, Garnett and Hakeem are the only players that made defense so fun to watch with how versatile and tenacious they were, not seen that kind of motor since. Shout out to Bill Russell too who was the best defender ever when it comes to impact, a true pioneer.
Ben Wallace is my all-time favorite player. His tenacity in the court was second to none. You wouldn't think a player of his stature in his position could bully prime Shaq, but he did that.
A perfect example of a person who gave the sport all he got and even more and ended up rewarded for his efforts big time. A champion and a 4x DPOY. A HoF nomination well deserved! These soft current era kids would have thing or two, even three, to learn from Big Ben!
Ben wallace Is one of my favorite players & defensive players of all time he is the main reason why I love block shots & playing defense. You guys should see me play videos games of playing the pistons I get over ten blocks a game playing as Ben wallace oh yeah the good old days.🤩
From being undrafted to hall of famer. The path he took was not easy, if not, the hardest one! BIG BIG BIG respect to this man. We salute you Big Ben! Best all time defensive player in my opinion.
That 2003-4 Pistons team was the real deal. I'm a lifelong Spurs fan (ever since they came into the league), but I really respected Detroit that year. I liked Rasheed's chip on his shoulder, I liked Ben's energy and toughness, I liked Rip's endless energy and continual motion, I liked Chauncey's clutch shooting and court leadership, and I thought Tayshaun was a physical freak, using his long arms to reach into the passing lanes and swipe passes that his opponents thought were safe. They played like they had been together for 10 years. They were one of the best in league history that year.
Yeah, and Ben was one of the less common defensive behemots that werent really dirty players, so no one really "feared" him Bostons defense last season was also fun to watch
I didn't make the High School team. Never played organized ball. I was never good enough, fast enough, tall enough at 5' 8" but I loved the game. I loved basketball. Much like how Ben Wallace was never passed the basketball, I learned that the only way I would get my touches, was to go out and get it. This led me to becoming a very good rebounder for my size. In a game dominated by the big and tall, I modeled my game after Ben Wallace. Because of this man (and Dennis Rodman,) trailblazing a way to play and dominate a game without scoring, I was able to find a role, and joy in the game of basketball. I would walk into the 24-hour Fitness Gym in California, with my Ben Wallace shirt (his picture, complete with Afro emblazoned on the front) and people would start calling me Ben Wallace. Being old, and retired; I still have many fond memories of the sport. I am grateful to this man for being the role model of a style of gameplay that allowed me to enjoy the game of basketball.
"Fear the Fro" was a thing. Ben Wallace despite his low scoring made 5 All NBA teams & finished top 10 in MVP voting 3 times. 4x DPOY ( back to back twice) 😎🔥.
Ben is right up there on my list for All Time power forwards and centers. Second behind Shaq. The guy is prime example of "the height does not matter".
I have an exam in 25 minutes and seeing Big Ben here makes things better
5 minutes till the exam dude. Gotta lock up
he's probably doing it rn
i wanna know what u get @pyramidsofmars_346
Good luck
Good luck
Ben Wallace is unique type of player, but he deserved the Hall of Fame nod. 4 DPOYs is a great achievement for an undersized big man

That is a great achievement regardless of size I’d say
Big Ben Wallace and Mount Mutombo, the only two HOF caliber centers who were one-way defensive players.
This fucking guy deserves a Hollywood film.
FAAACTS

No doubt, "Team" being the operative word
finally a Ben Wallace nonstop video
IT FINALLY HAPPEND THANK YOU NONSTOP
The Fro was as raw as they come
Remove that AI shit man. Ruins the quality. I’d rather see more game clips
Role model for all the kids, hardwork and perseverance
Role model? Lol. How many times has he been arrested? Gun charge, leaving the scene on an accident, DUIs. Great basketball player, but no role model.
@finkelmana He aint no saint. Still a good role model for hard work pays off
Plus freak genetics lol. He was only undersized in height, but was one of the strongest and most agile Centers in NBA history. But yes, it's always good to inspire young kids to be hard-working, to persevere during adversity and to be humble.
Ben played 81 games with a broken foot. Meanwhile you have all stars sitting out back to backs.
the last line was cold. Big Ben!!
You may beat him, but you could never punk or intimidate Big Ben. His work ethic and heart are legendary.
Big Ben is the definition of toughness
Ben is the definition of hardwork, Special center
The fact this guy wore headbands on his biceps just shows how huge he was. Absolute defensive monster... 100% grit n hard work.

Big Ben Wallace would be having so much fun playing in the NBA now because nobody is paying attention to defense anymore.
Take Lillard of the 75th Anniversary team and put Big Ben on. Defence does not get enough love in basketball anymore.
I love Lillard, but facts, not just because of the defense, but his achievements and records are more than enough for him to go over Lillard
I’m laughing at Charles Oakley punching a kid in the face 😂

The definition of "No pain, No Gain"
man, imagine being so tough and strong thay your team does not need to double team shaq .. that alone speaks for itself
Thanks for letting me know about Big Ben the guy fought through adversities with limitations to his game to be one of the very best❤❤
He is tuff cuz he's seen shit in his life. Ain't nothin breakin him

I’d take Ben over Rodman anytime
I'm also a center and i'm only 6'0 and this man is my inspiration. He use his brut strenght to bully shaq.
He did lift ALOT and also had a good vertical dont forget that 😂
calling him "the most feared" player is a bit of a strech. but he was damn fun to watch. Big Ben and Spurs' Kawhi made defense fun to watch
