Ben wallace is a sorry excuse

CAN'T HIT A DAMN FT!!!!!!! Missed 2 in a row AGAIN, WTF is this idiot doing!

Don't they practice free throws????? he's trying to kill my 1st half bet...ughhhhh

jeckll · May 21, 2006

Guy is hitting under 25% in the postseason. He's not a basketball player.

2PLAYSMAX · May 21, 2006

yeah killed the 1st half pistons line..then he put marshall on the line at the other end

dbldn · May 21, 2006

sorry about you Detroit -4 1st half play I lost it too

BlackbeardPimp · May 21, 2006

oh well hit 1st qtr larger but it sucks to lose cause of a chump who CAN'T HIT A FRIGGIN FT!!!!!!!!!

Coulter · May 21, 2006

I can't believe how many pts the Pistons piss away at the stripe. No reason an NBA player shouldn't hit 65% at the line. Pathetic

Bennyshoe · May 21, 2006

Yeah i think Shaq makes more FT's. Even Yao at 7'6 makes more FT's than Wallace. his form isn't that bad. Just seems like he doesn't even try to work on it and the Pistons don't care that he doesn't.

Ben is horrible from the FT line
he had 0-7 in last game also
it looks like he is throwing stones....

i think he has more airballs then FT' which he scores....

fortunately i was too late on the start, i also wanted to take det 1st half HC but anyway i am sorry for you guys

RiceCooker · May 21, 2006

DET 5-16 from the free throw line
DET/CLE 13-28 combined from the free throw line
CLE 0-5 from 3pt range
DET/CLE combined 2-9 from 3pt range

my over bets are sooo screwed:cryingcry

What do you mean even Yao..........Yao shoots 85% free throws and is among the top 50........don't even mention Yao with Wallace in the same breathe as he is among the top 3 worst free throw shooters among starters.......Damn idiot cost me the 1st half.

It just boggles my mind how someone who calls themself a professional basketball player can be so horridly bad at one of the fundamentals of his sport. What DOES ben wallace practice? Defense is not a skill that takes a lot of practice to maintain; sure you have to work out and keep in shape and keep up with scouting reports on opposing teams and players but does he practice ANY basketball skills?

He can't shoot, can't pass, can't catch and definitely can't shoot FTs. Pathetic.

But he was defensive player of the year in 4 out of last 5 years. next time just don't bet and stop crying.

:lolBIG:

Not crying because I lost the bet, just asking a legit question. As I said, defense is not a basketball skill per se like passing or shooting. You can't devote all your practice time to defense; it's a natural skill put on top of good conditioning and shape.

I truly believe that Wallace doesn't practice offensive basketball at all. And that's pathetic. Sure it's great that he was defensive player of the year but imagine what a player he would be if he could score even 10 a game?

TheGoodall · May 22, 2006

He screwed my game six first half bet with missed free throws as well. I'll take Shaq at the line over him any day of the week.

in any other profession in life, you would get fired for the job performance nba players do at their jobs. The sucker fans keep spending their paychecks going to watch these bums play lousy basketball and get rich all the way to the bank

You said it. Thats gambling. If you bitch and moan about every lost bet, you need to stop gambling. No offense so don't take it personally

funny story....

Wallace went to Virginia Union in Richmond va and worked out (still does in the offseason) at the same gym as I do

No lie, i was shooting some hoops on the court with a few buddies, and big BEN and his posse came in to play. We watched them play for hours then watched him shoot afterwards.

Ben made 45 of 50 free throws. He just must choke in the NBA....
