Detroit Pistons’ icon Ben Wallace was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame last night and gave an emotional speech in front of his peers, family and former teammates.
Several current Pistons were also in attendance, including Isaiah Stewart (who often gets compared to Big Ben) and Cade Cunningham who will hopefully be the next Piston to lead the team to a title.
Wallace is not a gifted public speaker (I can relate) and his speech is not going to go into the annals of history as great oratory, but there were some highlights and emotional moments that got every Detroit Pistons fan a little misty.
