ESPN's Shelley Smith did some weird crowd-sourced journalism via Twitter late last night. She tweeted, "neefd rasheed walace to coll me et 310-251-2516. important nreedvrws." A short time later, she tweeted, "ooops . always love hearing from rasheed wallace.....but really need rasheedbhazzard .....310-251-2516." (Rasheed Wallace, you'll remember, is a retired former Piston and Blazer, while Rasheed Hazzard is—or was—a Laker assistant coach.) More »

"That was the scene in the lobby Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. Wallace, wearing a No. 58 Chiefs jersey, tossed a man's prosthetic leg back and forth." Somehow that paragraph makes perfect sense to me. [KC.com/StylePoints] More »

Calm and rational Rasheed Wallace has agreed to play for the Celtics for two years. Next on the shopping list: Grant Hill. (Seriously.) Because the problem with their 2009 team was obviously not enough injury/character questions. [Boston Herald] More »

This has certainly been covered elsewhere — most excellently by TrueHoop - but we really can't get over the "Josh Howard is a terrible person for smoking weed" meme. As Henry Abbott put it, "We're not alarmed that one young person smoked pot. We're alarmed that anyone admitted it." Fitting, not even Howard's sponsors really care. More »

The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who is in no way related to Kevin McHale and who has taken the necessary legal steps to ensure that it stays that way. When he's not building a life-sized Dirk Nowitzki out of LEGOs, he can be found making fart jokes at Basketbawful. Enjoy! More »

As close as this series has been so far, we're just one Pistons victory away from it being totally lopsided. They've been so close on the road, most people believe the Cavs will be able to take at least a game at home. Except for Rasheed Wallace, who would lead you to believe that if the Pistons try, the Pistons win. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=263875&view=rss&microfeed=true So we know we just wrote about this in the NBA roundup, and that you've probably seen it on "SportsCenter" or somewhere else already, but, frankly, we just want to have it on our site: Here's Rasheed Wallace's batshit crazy 60-footer last night.

After you pick up 16 technical fouls in one NBA season, each technical foul thereafter earns you a one-game suspension. You'll never guess who became the first player to be suspended via that rule ... oh, hell, I'll just tell you. 'Twas Rasheed Wallace. More »

Where would we be without Need4Sheed? I don't know anything about those guys except that I'm originally from Detroit, and I think Need4Sheed does a better job covering the Pistons than the local newspapers do. This video is the latest example. It features Will Blalock, Jason Maxiell, Amir Johnson and Rasheed Wallace singing "Jingle Bells." That's all it is, except it's a brilliant rendition that will warm the cockles of your heart. More »

Much has been written about the new "zero tolerance" rule in the NBA, which allows referees to slap a technical on anybody who so much as sneezes in their general direction. Already, three players have been ejected because of the new rules, including Mike Bibby, Carmelo Anthony and, yes, Rasheed Wallace. More »

If you're one of those cynical souls who doesn't take Rasheed Wallace's word as gospel, we should be in for quite an intriguing evening of basketball. In the first game, we get to find out if this will be a forgettable early chapter in LeBron James' playoff career or if becomes something unique, special and potentially mind-blowing. (We're betting on "forgettable.") More »

Fans of "Family Guy" will likely enjoy this parody created by odd duck NBA blog Need For Sheed. Imagine what would happen if baby Stewie from "Family Guy" played a one-on-one game with everybody's favorite reformed technical foul magnet. Take that imagination, and Need For Sheed has the video.

As we stretch our legs this morning and get back into our athlete run-in series, we pause to prepare for tomorrow night's Illinois-North Carolina rematch of last year's national championship game, which Illini coach Bruce Weber says he knows is important because, "Nike is issuing us new uniforms." We're obviously very excited. More »
