Ben Wallace Wins Denfensive Player of the Year
So this is how the sports writers and broadcasters make up for not giving Chauncey Billups the MVP award. Ben Wallace wins the award for the fourth time in five years, which shows how dominate and consistent Ben Wallace has been. Wallace learned to play well because his older brothers never passed him the ball and had to steal and block shots to get any of the glory. So if you want to train your kids to be defensive hounds when they grow older, just torture them by never giving them the ball or the opportunity to shoot. I kind of noticed that Wallace looked pretty bummed despite the fact that he just won the award, the Pistons have been on a roll all season, and they look like they are going to crush the Cleveland Cavaliers this series as well. Keep in mind that Wallace has been unhappy with the touches he has been getting from coach Flip Saunders; when Larry Brown was coach, he used to appease the big man with a couple of plays designed for him in the early minutes of each game. Wallace is a free agent after the season, it will be an interesting summer to see if Wallace feels he has been slighted for his great play the last few years and signs elsewhere.
