Rasheed Wallace

When Sheed came over to the Pistons in 2004, I was kind of excited. I wasn't a huge basketball fan at the time, but I liked Sheed's game. And I loved when the knocked off the Lakers despite being huge underdogs. I also liked that he could shoot left-handed three pointers. The guy has passion for the game despite being labeled a bad boy in the NBA.

ESPN has a good read on him. His humility, his charitable attitude, his passion for the game; it's something beyond simply being a big-name basketball player. And it should be commended. The Homeless Harry nickname is ridiculously funny, by the way.
