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,

John W. Davis
