Who knew Rasheed Wallace was so funny?
Like most Tar Heels, Rasheed Wallace was not popular with Duke fans, but in the NBA, he emerged as an interesting and provocative figure.
Over a 16-year career, Wallace played for the Washington Bullets, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, and New York Knicks.
In this video, Wallace explains “The Slam Heard Round The World,” which was what people started to call the locker-room fight between Ruben Patterson and Zach Randolph, both of whom were his Portland teammates during the Jailblazer era.
Patterson, by all accounts, was a bully and an unusually strong player and Wallace and Bonzi Wells sort of encouraged a fight between him and Randolph, who is also quite large. In the end, Patterson slammed Randolph to the floor and injured his back.
That wasn’t the end of the story.
We’ll let Wallace finish telling it because as it turns out, he’s a pretty good story teller. Just listen for the part where he compares Patterson to the Incredible Hulk. It’s a great story. It is, however, a bit salty and NSFW.
