Rasheed Wallace was a better player than Kevin Garnett

[Smoke117]

Sheed was better than anyone else in the post besides Shaq 2000 to now...his post up game was pretty much unstoppable...the problem? He didn't have the drive or desire to the best and be the man...he could have been so much more. He easily had the talent and skill to average 25ppg for a good 10 years.

That's a load of shit and the same cliche used for Sheed his entire career.

FACT is, he didn't have a big repertoire in the post; the ONLY thing he had was the great ability to release the ball at an extremely high level. He RARELY utilized anything other than his turn around high release shot because he LACKED a big time array of moves.

He was never even close to being a superstar.

Is OP trolling or is this his true opinion?

Discuss!

sheed didnt have the energy or will to go at somebody over and over on the block ... he had everything else, but he didnt have that.

He had a lot more moves actually...he just stopped going to them as time went by. Watch him in 2000, 2001, 2002...he had everything. The most underrated aspect of his post game was his ability to put it on the floor...he was good, but he stopped doing it as more and more time went by. Either way, he had the perfect compliment of skill, talent, length, and athleticism to dominate...just not the mentality. The fact of the matter is a lot of guys have done more with less...like Antoine Walker...what could Sheed have done with his mentality?

This is also a startlingly competent post by you...make more posts like this and less obsessive posts about Lebron.

My point is, anyone can score, Sheed actually had the skill set to do it at a high clip with good efficiency. Look at Garnett...all he really had was his his turn around and he did pretty good...and Sheeds was better and more consistent. Plus...you don't really need a big repertoire of moves when your best one is pretty much unstoppable.

they were both better off focusin on all around game (which they pretty much did), because neither could truly take over. they shouldve asked their cousin dirk for tips.

Rasheed is like Aldridge.

They both have the talent and skillset to become the GOAT PF but are missing something mentally. Of course, Sheed is better defensively while Aldridge is better w/ offense.

Wallace was like the 4th best player on that Pistons team but KGs championship accomplishment wasnt any special because he was on the stacked team?

The Celtics was known for defense and who anchored that legendary defense?


The Pistons were in the Eastern Conference Finals the year before requiring Rasheed Wallace

Duncan and Webber weren't in the league or something?.

Neither of them were that great in the post...especially Webber. He had that ugly ass hook shot and that was about it. He mostly wanted to take that horrible jump shot. He's a good guy to bring up though...that's the kind of selfishness Sheed needed, but never had.

[fourkicks44]

Dunno about all that, but I love KG. He is one of the greats of the game.

However he is massively overrated on this forum.

Real talk.

Ouside of McHale and Hakeem, Webber had the best footwork ever by a bigman

U basically broke down Rasheed's game with the horrible shots assumption

I don't even know what to say to that. I always liked Webbers versatility with his passing and he was a great offensive rebounder...but the guy should have never been taking as many shots as he did. If you are trying to compare his footwork to those two in the post...that's just ridiculous. He just really didn't have much in the post besides that ugly hook shot. He was always more of a face up player and a high volume scorer. He was a pretty good ball handler for his size I'll give him that.
