After four All-Star game appearances, four Defensive Player of the Year awards, two Finals appearances, and one championship, Ben Wallace deserves to be eternally remembered in Auburn Hills.
The Detroit Pistons honored Wallace on Saturday night, lifting his No. 3 jersey up to the rafters, next to other legends like Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman.
Wallace spent a total of nine seasons with the Pistons, re-signing with the team in 2009 after brief stints with the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 6-foot-9 center averaged 6.6 points, 11.1 rebounds - twice leading the league - and 2.3 blocks with Detroit.
