Notice how during his time with the Pistons, there were a lot of low scoring games. One game, the Pistons held the Shaq/Kobe Lakers to under 70. Ben was a defensive beast!
Miss watching physical defensive basketball this was so much more entertaining game to game then watching everyone and their cousin shooting threes like it’s recess 😂
I remember watching the 2004 finals and falling in love with how ben wallace played. Thats how i wanted to play. tough, physical defense. Unfortunately, my 11 year old self didnt know i would only grow to be 5'9" 140 pounds lmao. what a dream though.
These were some of my favorite teen years watching the 2000s pistons. We were unlike any D in the leauge. Best all team effort in history. Best team with no divas on the team
@@Someone-hi1ntBen wouldn’t be less effective in todays game Bcs of the offensive focus 😂 if anything that would actually give him the advantage given he plays that less looked into role with his entire soul. Man would be a dominant rebounder and blocker today just like he was then.
One of the most dominant and strongest players in NBA history. And he did all these with players bigger and taller than him. He was only 6'9 for a center. 💪
That would be a match man. Jokic can play old school and is heavy and can pass the ball. But we saw how much an older Dwight bothered Jokic in the bubble. Imagine what Ben Wallace would do.
I wish Benny Ben never left Detroit. He fit so perfectly with the pistons. The intimidation, the serious face he has like he’s gonna hurt someone and of coarse, the bad boys tradition the Pistons were known for.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 8.1?? I hear that story about some students ask nba about all matches with Bill Russell. Ok. Nice story but that era was for me EZ u put there player aka from D1 and this men be there a superstar. 80 90, 00, current we can compare but 50 nope...
0:16 I spent three hours one Sunday even chatting with Jackie Wallace (Rasheed's Mom) at a very empty Center City Turf Club in 1991, when Rasheed was fifteen. She said she had to send him to NC for the summer because "all the girls wouldn't leave my boy alone." Very nice, strong lady.
I still can't believe that ock he knock down Shaq that block no one did that to Shaq and I love one of the game score was 63 to 63 final score better defence back then
People act like the NBA didn't intentionally shift rules to encourage more scoring to make games "exciting". There was an open and active campaign to boost viewership which is why we have the low defense, high* scoring NBA that exists now.
That's why defenders flop so much nowadays, unfortunately. I think I saw an interview with one of the Celtics explaining why there are so many exaggerations all the time.
Hmmm. I didn't see any highlights in a Magic uniform. You know the team that let him go for Grant Hill in crutches and a watered down version of how serious his injury was. Live and learn.
Shaq joked on TV about how he of had 4 rings with Kobe. They were mocking Ben Wallace. I think of the block you have at #1 and laugh at how foolish he sounds.
From 04-07 Ben and Shaqs teams played each other 4 straight years in the playoffs and Ben went 3-1 including a 5 game series for the title and sweeping Shaq in 07. Shaq has always been disrespectful to Ben and those Pistons teams because they had his number.
ben wallace was an average player not facing legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell there's a documentary called the greatest player ever starring wilt chamberlain and in 80 the nba declared the greatest player ever as bill russell
63-62 is an INSANE final score
That was Pistons basketball during those times, grinders of a game.
The defense prob
f der s detroit bad boys of d 80s,they r d good boys of d 2000...super underdog...Champion
That was at the time defense was a priority.
Thats what happens when you actually play defense dude
Notice how during his time with the Pistons, there were a lot of low scoring games. One game, the Pistons held the Shaq/Kobe Lakers to under 70. Ben was a defensive beast!
Shaq still has nightmares about that block when he was on Miami. Crushed him to the floor.
The original Beast mode
Man seeing that Pistons vs Jazz score really makes me miss defense
Not defense it’s the offensive game expanding and by playing defense your wasting energy and players now a days are too skilled.
@@T1R3_zawwnnit's the game changing, you're statement contradicts itself btw
Nobody wants to see games that low scoring. Get that back in my day shh outta here when it comes to that. More defense would be great but c'mon now
@@JP-jd8wr I do.
@@HeroinChristyour the minority therefore what you want don’t matter
Growing up playing youth basketball everybody wanted to be on the pistons. Pistons, lakers, and spurs were the truth back in the day.
1:53 that sound of a bell...AMAZING. Big ben was a BEAST!!!
Miss watching physical defensive basketball this was so much more entertaining game to game then watching everyone and their cousin shooting threes like it’s recess 😂
1:53 - 2:05 Ben playing volleyball and basketball at the same damn time lbs
😤
What a legend…no words. Even here, on the land of Dracula we heard about this guy. Amazing game play, real stand up GOAT.
I miss seeing this kind of defense
His timing on defense was sheer perfection.

Big Ben in today’s game would be an absolute monster.
no he wouldnt, because todays game is more offensive based and he was a fully defensive player
@@Someone-hi1ntol if Rudy G. can win 3 DPOY awards, then so can Ben who did the exact same thing having 4 himself.
@@ICYMIINMIY not the same scenario lmao
@@ICYMIINMIY and by the way, no one considers rudy gobert a monster

Beautiful block on Shaq. I absolutely 💯 love it.
Number 9 dunk was wild
Big ben
One of the most dominant and strongest players in NBA history. And he did all these with players bigger and taller than him. He was only 6'9 for a center. 💪
The fans loves the big guy.
Basketball will never be what it once was,damn I miss it
Watching Ben play was sooo Amazing boi did I hate playing them pistons
Ben is the NBA'S Hercules.
What about his block on Shaq in the ‘04 Finals? That was his most notable one!
It was number 1 at the end of the video
@@explosivediarrhea4671 No. No. No. No it isn’t.
That was a foul....... according to Shaq.
He was a monster
I can't imagine Jokic playing against Big Ben
That would be a match man. Jokic can play old school and is heavy and can pass the ball. But we saw how much an older Dwight bothered Jokic in the bubble. Imagine what Ben Wallace would do.
I wish Benny Ben never left Detroit. He fit so perfectly with the pistons. The intimidation, the serious face he has like he’s gonna hurt someone and of coarse, the bad boys tradition the Pistons were known for.
Big Ben = Tyson of nba!
2:26 "O'Neal, deep in the post" doesn't usually end like that.
Ben Wallace was only 6’9” compared to average big men, but man did he make up for it
Big Ben Wallace
I'm late but dayum I miss Ben Wallace. I remember I had my hair in afro for years because of him 😂 😂. One of the many guys I tailored my game to
Is not his top 10... I watch him...
Best D Center of all time
Hakeem Olajuwon
@@hakeemolajuwon4352
Hakkem is great but i take Ben Wallace over him in D but in overall Mrs. Hakkem was better
Bill Russell, 8.1 blocks per game (unofficial because they didn't officially track them until he retired).
@@geoffreysorkin5774 8.1??

Also, what a catch by Jon Barry!!
The only person to ever treat Shaq like that even if it was for one play
The Beast 💪🏻
He was apart of that great draft class in '96 straight out of D2 Virginia Union he was the Charles Oakley in the '90s
Ben Wallace was undrafted
@@Threespent Yes I know just saying that he was in that year.
The bell
Grew up in detroit during this era......DETROOOIIIIIT BASKETBALLLLLLL will never be the same

"He fouled me." #Shaq🤣😂🤣😂🆘🏳️💯
Lmao 63-62 at #8
I still can't believe that ock he knock down Shaq that block no one did that to Shaq and I love one of the game score was 63 to 63 final score better defence back then
Pistons today: 🤦♂
Pistons during his prime: 💪🏆
Imagine if Big Ben was playing for the pistons in the bad boy era 😮🥶
Ben and Dwight are the best defenders ive ever seen
Dwight?! Watch Dennis Rodman defend Shaq 1996 ECF. Dwight can only dream of doing that
My man almost had a block and assist together on #3
back before the nba absorbed the Weenie Hut Jr League and started dancing around the perimeter.
I really miss that old school camera technology 😂
Chris Dudley is on a lot of posters
Big Ben was a true work horse. I wish he lasted longer with the pistons.
Fear the fro!!! You can hear the ball being swatted!
Man I thought that was Jordan at 1:34 😂
Same he had the bald head same body built and dunked like Mike 😂😂😂😂💯
A MFing BEAST
That block on shaq
Would love to see him against prime rodman
a normal night for giannis
My fav Big Ben play was him blocking Reggie Miller's final shot of his career 😂
That last one was crazy how he didn’t foul him but they would 100% still call that a foul today.
He did foul him 😂. They just didn’t call it… I wouldn’t have called it either tho
Shaq is still trying to recover from that block today
And when he got traded to my team, Chicago Bulls, he fizzled out quickly like a shooting star at the end of its brief show.
He had a dunk on shaq that should be in here
Look at the scores. Man I miss defense.
Ticket was here.
10 times a day
For 2 Years consistently

@@omgvagueEverybody is Vlade Divac now lol
And that’s why the game sucks now.
Had to put the big dog down for his No. 1 play
I miss when the NBA used to have defense.
Not many players could put Shaq on his arse like that
you forgot malice at the palace throat push
I always thought that watching Ben was the closest to seeing utter defensive supremacy not seen since Bill Russell.
Having Ben on your team instantly decreases your ppg allowed by 8-10 points 😂 that’s insane.
What about the 3/4 court charge he drew on Allen Iverson
Imaginense big ben y rodman juntos 😱
Alabama makes the best athletes
De los pocos k podían parar a Shaquil
Forgive the Chicago highlights, BIG BEN IS DETROIT ALL DAY!!!!! CHI is like our bad cousin we see er now and then lol
Hmmm. I didn't see any highlights in a Magic uniform. You know the team that let him go for Grant Hill in crutches and a watered down version of how serious his injury was. Live and learn.
#1 shoulda been when Kobe dunked on him
not enough blocks or insane rebounds in this highlight reel.
I thought the number 1 play wasa the shove to Artest
I like how he would just run to the other side of the court after a big dunk. No boasting and all that other clown shit
It's kinda weird seeing Big Ben wearing bulls jersey and playing against sheed and tayshaun. 🙅♂️🙅♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
the block on Shaq was the real best!
NBA 2k05
Idek why they was trying bro back in the day
The one in Shaq looks like a foul. Hits him in the shoulder
All ball
Looks like contact to me

Y’all made his number one play a foul?? 🥴🤦♂️
Это Патрик юинг на т4.
Т2 это шон кемп.
Т1 это шон кемп и Карл мэлон.
That’s why I don’t watch NBA now 😢
Shaq’s was a foul. He rode Shaq first and then blocked him. If Shaq does the same thing to anybody, they will be in the hospital. 😭😭😭
10 was lucky, you could have easily found a better one.
Bron basically a more skilled and faster ben wallace
Smaller and weaker too
#10 : nul
ben wallace was an average player not facing legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell there's a documentary called the greatest player ever starring wilt chamberlain and in 80 the nba declared the greatest player ever as bill russell
Not much of a top 10.
