Rasheed Wallace uses Jason Maxiell for Target Practice

  From knucklehead and knuckleballer in Portland to lovable comic relief in Detroit...amazing how time and a title have changed perceptions of 'Sheed.

  (Not sure who "Kawshen" is, but original Oregonian story has disappeared.  And granted, a 10-foot bounce pass differs from a 100-foot "baseball strike").

    Then he picked up a ball, reared back and fired a 100-foot, baseball-style strike that left Boumtje Boumtje writhing the floor. Trainers were summoned. After a few scary minutes, Boumtje Boumtje walked off, OK.

    Unless Boumtje Boumtje took that ball in the groin, he is literally a giant p***y.

      I vaguely recall it having to do with Rube's face. I imagine that'd hurt too.

      I think Rasheed is more of a giant jack-ass. He's been funny at times for the casual observer, but he's a complete dick to other teams, refs and as you can see, other teammates.

      The thing that gets me about the Boumtje-2 story is that after he went down (and really, imagine a basketball hitting you dead on top of the team when you least expect it, and throw from a lenght of an NBA court away)...that Rasheed and Bonzi left giggling like a couple a-holes.

... the top 10, though. Orien Greene seems comfortable in a 'New Zealand Breakers' uniform. He debuts soon. Two Kings figure in this HOOPSWORLD ranking of the top non-rookie international breakout players. It's a rather narrow field, yes, but recognition is recognition.

... Top Five. It’s totally different from and more refreshing than other links dumps such as The Roundup and Saint Andrew’s Net, and the name honors our friend Brian the Bull, who says “basically” and “top five” a lot. The former means he’s lying, and the latter means he’s embellishing. Takeo Spikes is a follower of fashion. My man’s American Gangster jones produces the finest lid since Baron’s bullet fedora. Jason Maxiell is poised. Rasheed can throw balls at him all day, but The Putback King ...

... While we're at it a few things. First of all, if you didn't catch this video of Sheed whipping basketballs again, it's pretty good. It's a kinder gentler Sheed these days, one wonders where Ruben Boomtje-Boomtje is and whether he envies the kid glove treatment of young Mad Max. ...
