Former Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace and former Michigan star Chris Webber were unveiled Sunday as part of the 2021 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class.
Wallace, a four-time All-Star and defensive player of the year, spent 16 years in the league, including nine with the Pistons. He averaged 5.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals. He helped the Pistons win the 2004 NBA championship.
Wallace was undrafted as a Division II All-American out of Virginia Union and began his NBA career with Washington in 1997. He spent three seasons there before moving to the Orlando Magic, where he spent a season before the fateful Grant Hill trade brought him to Detroit.
