Pistons retire Ben Wallace's jersey, honoring 2004 NBA champ (The Associated Press)

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Ben Wallace, one of the top defensive players in NBA history, had his No. 3 jersey retired by the Detroit Pistons.

A clock tower ''DONG'' reverberated at The Palace as a white banner adorned with ''Wallace'' in blue and ''3'' in red rose to the rafters Saturday night at halftime of Detroit's game against the Golden State Warriors.

The four-time Defensive Player of the Year was joined by his coach, Larry Brown, and many of his teammates from the 2004 NBA title team on the court for a ceremony at halftime.
