It's Just Sports —
... , there is evidence that techs can get teams or players fired up. And for Rasheed, there are specific statistics showing that his production after getting a technical increases . And the three-pointers? Blame Portland. In 2001, Portland drafted Zach Randolph and had Arvydas Sabonis at center, so they asked Rasheed Wallace to play some small forward. The result? Pre-2001, Rasheed only attempted more than 1.0 three-pointers a game in a season once in five years. After 2001, he averaged more than 3.0 attempts per game.
