Exactly. Dude was too passive. He was always the most talented player on his teams during his prime.
HOF or FOH: Rasheed Wallace
- Thread starter 5th Letter
- Start date
My man says he “deferred” A lot
let’s look at those blazers teams that Rasheed spent his prime on
Until Z-Bo got there he was clearly the best player on the team and all he did was give you his typical 17-19 ppg and around 7 rebs
it’s solid but come on man him over Kevin love? Lol love’s lowest rebound rate is higher than peak Rasheed

gangster. grace. alchemy
shut up 5th letter
What does Love do better offensively than Sheed? They’re damn near close offensively and Sheed is clearly the better defender so that means Sheed>>Love. And as a bonus he led his team to the playoffs...
You must be bored...

I mean idk how they do it for real seems like if you were an all star multiple times in like 12 years. So 7 or 8 All Star Games in 12 seasons
Offensively Love is better at FT shooting, 3pt shooting, passing and offensive rebounding
I’ll be generous and say both of them have comparable post games
fun fact: Rasheed has 1 40+ point reg season game his career and it took him 6 seasons
Kevin love has 11
Rasheed was cool man but he’s not even a top 15 PF of all time

Sheed is a 'had to be there' all-star. Younger kids are gonna look at his stats and be like 'What's the big deal? Dude wasn't that good.'. But any of us who actually saw him play and came up in that era know the deal. And antawn Jamison is a good example. Jamison has way better numbers than Sheed. Those of us who saw them both play know that Sheed was better. He just was.
I already said Love was the better rebounder. Better 3 point shooter? How? Sheed came in an era where big men primarily played in the post, Love played mostly in the era where bigs are asked to step out and shoot more. Sheed is the better passer.
Fun fact: Rasheed Wallace led his team to the playoffs something Love has never done.
You said offensively and I told you offensively how he was
And you can use that era caveat all you want but sheed never shot above league average from 3 except for 2 years. And you said sheed came up when bigs played in the post but when love came in he played for 5 or 6 years before the change happened. You make it seem like love has no post game. I said they had comparable post games as it’s pretty even. Just because you said Rasheed was a better passer don’t mean that he is.
You doing a lot of defending for a player who didn’t meet expectations individually
Yes it does matter especially if the guy you’re defending is shooting more 3’s per game than the guy you’re arguing against. If they attempt the same amount of 3’s and one guy makes them at a better clip then fine. The point is that Sheed can do things offensively that Love can, and he is a better defender, you talked about his PPG, I gave you context for that. You saying Love is a better passer don’t make him so either.
I’m defending the guy because I know how good he was.
lol I know how good rasheed was too
Get off your high horse. He coulda been great but he wasn’t
Didn’t play to his full potential
I can simply say love was so much of a better shooter that he had the ability to win a 3pt contest
Also crazy how you wanna ignore all numbers and wanna do a eye test because you know love washes sheed in majority of stats

Go Spurs Go!!
Was he really better than Jamison though? Lol.
If I honestly had to choose between the 2 while filling out my roster I'm taking Wallace but that's more due to me leaning towards having a strong defensive team. Jamison though was a good pro and a really good NCAA player who was consistent and effective with his approach. Wallace wasn't consistent with his output or even game day temperament
