ROSCOE OR RASHEED?

What’s Going On World?

John W. Davis here.  The 6th Most Important Piston on my countdown is Rasheed Wallace.  (Okay everyone GASP really quickly). Now please let me explain. 

See there is a guy I know named Roscoe and a guy I know named Rasheed.  They both play for our beloved Detroit Pistons.  One plays forward, the other plays center.  One has a temper, the other is focused and on a mission. 

Both are passionate but that’s never Roscoe or Rasheed’s problem.  Both are Top 20 NBA talents.  Both have the skills to dominate inside and out.  Both are 6′11 and 235 ish pounds.

ROSCOE DOES THIS:

AND ROSCOE ALSO CAN DO THIS SEEMINGLY AT WILL:

That’s why we allow it.  Basketball is nothing more than a game.  A fun childhood game that a mere 450 NBA Players get paid to do. 

What he lacks in focus and motivation he makes up for with pure unadulterated talent. 

But you know what? It takes more than talent to be a champion.  When Rasheed was going for his first NBA title you saw that nothing was going to stop him.  Not an injured foot, or being traded to a new team, nothing. NO… THING!

I know because I have saw it with my own eyes, that Rasheed can be more than Roscoe.  He can be much more than a trash talking left-handed three point shooting big man.  He can be so much more. 

RASHEED CAN DO THIS (OLD SCHOOL):

RASHEED CAN DO THIS (NEW SCHOOL):
 

I always feel like Rasheed Wallace is not giving us everything he could that’s why he is number six.  Year after year we see the same player, teasing and tantalizing us with dominant yet erratic and sporadic post play.  Yes I want a little Roscoe but I also want a lot more Rasheed! (Sheed-scoe)

 Who do you want Roscoe or Rasheed?

Peace,

My name is Rasheed Amir Wade! Really it is!

Whats Going on World?

John W. Davis here.   Just had to share this story with you from Pistons.com.  No this is not Rasheed’s child or Amir’s.  It just a die hard Pistons fans infant child.   Just read the story. LOL

Clifford Wade and Latanya Bussell had an agreement about the naming of their first child. If Latanya had a boy, Clifford would name him; a girl, and Latanya would have the honor. Clifford, a lifelong Detroiter who says he comes to five Pistons games a season on average, knew precisely which name he wanted to go with. And it definitely wasn’t Dwyane.

“Rasheed is my favorite [Piston] and I also wanted as the middle name somebody off the bench so I chose Amir Johnson,” said Clifford, who named his son Rasheed Amir Wade.

Coincidentally, Clifford’s son has the same initials as Rasheed Abdul Wallace - and that’s where the similarities end for now. Fortunately for Clifford and Latanya, the four-month-old hasn’t exhibited any technical foul-worthy tantrums just yet. “He’s a great baby, nice, handsome little boy,” the proud papa gushed. “He’s very good. I just love him.”

Rasheed Amir Wade was born the morning of April 27, 2008. That night, the Pistons defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 of their first-round series. The 93-84 victory sparked a five-game winning streak and signaled the end of the Sixers’ season. Wallace had one of his best performances of the playoffs, 20 points and 10 rebounds.

“Hopefully that can rub off on my mine and we can be watching him in the future, because I do want him to be one,” Clifford said. “Not just a basketball player but a Piston.”

What Piston would you name your child after?  Haha. Leave a Comment. 

Peace,
