Ben Wallace played for the Orlando Magic back in the day, but he was not the player who would anchor defenses and win a championship when he wore Magic blue. Rasheed Wallace helped Ben Wallace in the Detroit Pistons front court, forming one of the greatest defenses in league history. He spaced the floor and added more defense to lock down the paint.
This was a winning formula for the Pistons in 2004. A unique one.
The 2004 Pistons were a team that lacked the prototypical superstar player but never lacked a willingness to defend.
