In 16 NBA seasons, Rasheed Wallace was consistently the loudest voice in any building. While becoming a four-time All-Star and the league’s all-time leader in technical fouls, Wallace’s personality was even more dominant than his play.
On Sunday, coach David Fizdale invited Wallace — who played the final 21 games of his career with the Knicks and memorably starred for the Pistons when current Knicks general manager Scott Perry worked in Detroit’s front office — to work with the Knicks’ big men at practice, hoping Wallace’s confidence and ferocity would rub off on soft-spoken rookie Mitchell Robinson.
