Person of Interest: Rasheed Wallace

Rasheed is a one-of-a-kind dude.  There was a flight on Roundball One when the plane went through the worst turbulence most of the team had ever experienced.  And 'Sheed was near the back of the plane, throwing his hands up in the air like it was a rollercoaster:

"The Pistons endured a harrowing 90-minute plane ride from Oklahoma City to Chicago Thursday night. Storm conditions caused the plane to fly through turbulent air, with violent dips in altitude, for most of the trip.

'It was the worst flight of my life,' (Coach Flip) Saunders said.

Had the players and coaches not had their seat belts securely fastened, the dips would have tossed them up out of their seats. Of course, not everybody hated the ride.

'Rasheed,' said Saunders, shaking his head.

Wallace was throwing up his hands as if he was on an amusement park ride, hollering, 'Do it again, do it again!'"

One paragraph about his time in Detroit? Cmon, son.

One thing that doesn't get mentioned much is during the Malace at the Palace in 2004, Rasheed Wallace was one of the few players out that trying to be a peace-maker.  Just sayin....
