Rasheed Wallace Gets Pissed, Takes Over (2004 NBA Finals - HD) 

And he could actually shoot.

He meant it about playing dirty if they wanted to though 😂

Yeah. His post game was serious.

Its right up there with Tweed blazers, waxed canvas jackets and wool baseball caps.

Yessir indeed!!

What’s crazy is with HD tv coming out what in the early 2000’s, broadcasts like this don’t look that old anymore. If you watched something 20 years old back in 2004, you would have known it old.

I was dreading every year up to this point because I didn’t want to go THIS long without winning my again.

Wow man me too . I was just a little kid. This team was incredible

​@@dorianpaisley-smith303 incredible ain't the word they were nasty....... where do I start Rip Hamilton shoot from anywhere..Sheed Swiss army knife and can shoot.....Big shot Billup's.... and another Swiss army knife in Prince..... with an enforcer in Ben! Nasty 5! Nobody was tall enough to defend Shaq but they was Damm for sure though with heart..... this team and the kg celts🎉🎉

Such a shame, but we ran into Tim and Pop the next year and unlike LA they had a well rounded team too

@@teecollins1523 they had them on the ropes, but they couldn’t finish

Detroit lost alot of bench players when they faced the spurs in the 2005 finals, it was not the same team.

@@Harasnails Detroit lost the 05 finals because the man highlighted in this video decided to leave Robert Horry wide open.

@@RogueStatusXThis man knows the truth

man this statement never gets OLD FAM

Ball, didn’t lie!!!

There's a video where he screams it so loud it echoes in the whole arena

You ain't lyin. This is one my favorite eras of basketball and these Pistons was my favorite squad of all-time. You had to earn everything you got. To be real I know I am in the minority, but I love defense and l somewhat like offense.

We didn't used to be this old 😂

That's not true but it's close we won a series on 08 so it would be a high school kid

@@17thN.Oplayers today havesctopidafroww

I was more of a Nets fan around this era because I loved Jason Kidd growing up but I loved everything basketball. This was such a great time to watch the NBA, it’s a shame what it’s become.

Look at those high scoring teams in the '80s

It’s called they actually played defense back then

The opposing team only averaged like 80 something a game that season against Detroit, don't think it was the Era it was pistons defense they were amazing

yea high level defense and people didn’t shoot threes every possession

​@@BlakkSimbabig facts

Exactly.

Sheed would beat tf outa him and score on him

And he was always embarrasing himself 🤦🏻‍♂️

Men just built different back then. Dray is too modern age. Shawn Kemp would rain man on him. Rodman have him crying. Anthony Mason and Oak man abuse him. List goes on.

@@dannynhl9441 why so much hate on Drae if he is the only tough guy nowadays

They lucked out and Kobe got that shot in game 2. This was a sweep. Making woulda made a difference but we'll never know

It should have been the Wolves in these Finals. But, we all know how much the refs love the Lakers. Sam Cassell's injury didn't help, either.

They were calling it a 5 game sweep because the pistons played dominating ball all five games and the Lakers got lucky with Kobe’s bomb at the end of game 2

Tim is a bad comparison as Sheed was more like a Dirk type who was also an all world defender.

What type is sheed,duncan and dirk..big is big man PF..they all can shoot,dribble.

Timmy was a beast in the paint, but limited in outside shot selection. Both Dirk and Sheed were a threat outside the arc too.

@@Tahderonecan knock down a open 3 yes. A threat no. Both mid range killers thi

No doubt

So that for the people in the back

ALL DAY

Where do you think Draymond got it from

Lol he should be hof not sure if he will get in

He was a great piece to a great team.

One of the best bigs all Time...dont have the scoring stats to match but he is aBOB MACADOO le​vel talent@j-roc6989

@@7neophyteSheed could have avg 25ppg easy too

He should’ve been in

Yea man Princes Defense was always lock down thats what i loved about his game. He played on both ends of the floor hell the whole front line up did

Heck ya! Except stretch fours were having success in the 70s and 80s

That's that laziness Kobe talks about ..

@@jeremylevantnot really, Wallace is a physical specifiman and had great position and without knowing how many fouls Shaq had and such, or if the pistons were in the penalty it’s hard to imagine anything other than an over the back there. Now to be clear, this isn’t to suggest that Shaq didn’t have lazy tendencies, but he was out maneuvered here

“Understanding of the game” you nailed it. A lot of people don’t recognize how smart some of these players like Sheed were. That entire squad were.

@@OGK_Show Smart and fundamentally sound

Were the 80s a “rec run” as well?

@@Redbrick2424yes

@@Redbrick2424 watch one game frome the 85-86 Celtics, look how physical they play and look how they move the ball around. Then watch any game from almost any team today, look at that matador defense combined with one guy dribbling the air out of the ball while he kills the shot clock. Then ask which one would you rather watch.

@@lp3860 the 86 Celtics are one of the greatest teams of all time. It was beautiful to watch them play. I loved watching the Bad Boy Pistons as well. Same with the 90s Bulls, the 90s Knicks, and the late 80s to early 90s Cavs (very underrated team). Same with the 2000s Spurs, the Bad Boy 2.0 Pistons, Kobe and Shaq and then just Kobe and the Lakers, etc. However, the difference between me and you is I continue to respect greatness. If you can’t respect the Big 3 Heat and the battles they had with the Celtics and Pacers, or the Cavs/Warriors series in 2016 and 2017, or the Raptors run in 2019, etc, etc, I don’t know what to tell you. You’re not a fan of basketball or greatness. You’re a fan of specific eras and will do anything you can to disparage other eras because in your mind, it makes your favorite era somehow better. Sad.

You can thank Jordan.

Do you know him personally?

How??????

@@younglove3362he obviously didn’t see it live.

And still couldn't get a ring 😢

He was the jinx

@@anthonypimping201 Actually, the Lakers might have won if he didn't get hurt.

Medvedenko was not a good player. He was Karl Malone's back up and only started when Malone was hurt

Medvedenko couldn’t guard Rasheed Wallace. Hell Medvedenko couldn’t guard William Wallace! Had to steal the quote that was originally Mike Downing of the Detroit Free Press when talking about Kelly Tripuka guarding Bernard King. I quote, “Kelly Tripuka guarding Bernard King. Hell Kelly couldn’t guard BB King!”

I'm thinking, how did they set up that floor cam?

Top 10 at best!!!!!
