-By far the hardest part about writing this Zoot will be having to chose only one picture of Rasheed Wallace to include. Sheed is somebody who has never had a problem with showing his emotions on the court, and as a result there is no shortage of pictures of him with among the most ridiculous facial expressions you'll ever see; that one just happend to be my favorite (other examples 1, 2, 3, and 4). That emotion can also come out in less funny ways; ie technical fouls. Sheed has the most techs since he came into the league in 1995, and is one of the most hated players among officials and opposing fans.
Luckily for me, I am no longer one of those opposing fans. Rasheed Wallace officially signed with THE Boston Celtics Wednesday, and will be introduced to the media in his green #30 jersey later this afternoon. Sheed will bring his attitude (good and bad), his long-armed defense, and 3 point range to a team that is in need of all 3 categories. So Celtics fans should welcome Sheed, and in the mean time let me help you get to know the newest C:
-Sheed was the 92-93 High School Player of the year, leading his team to an undefeated season and a state title. He averaged 16 pts, 15 rebs, and 7 blocks a game which is astounding considering he only played 19 minutes a game. His coach was too nice of a guy to play him for any longer.
-(My Favorite tidbit) Sheed is the only player ever to be ejected from the McDonald's All-American Game, seriously. And this totally captures the relative insanity of Rasheed Wallace. Should he have gotten kicked out of that game? No, its ultimately nothing more than a glorified all-star game. But at the same time, is it hurting anybody? Nobody is saying that Sheed will come to Boston and be Shenanigan-free, but as long as he keeps his antics to the good natured variety, I don't think anyone will complain.
-He is a 4 time all-star with career averages of 15 pts, 7 rebs, and nearly 2 assists.
-He is a fantastic dancer, and please do follow this link to watch the rest of them, it will be very much worth your time..
