Rasheed Wallace Jersey
After some mediocre years, Rasheed Wallace was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, who after playing one game dealt him to the Detroit Pistons in a three-way trade. He established himself as a regular starter. Detroit fans are so taken with Rasheed they chant 'SHEED' when he touches the ball--the result is a loud, low murmur and the Rasheed Wallace Pistons jersey is a top seller in Detroit. After falling behind against the Indiana Pacers in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals, Rasheed stated boldly in an interview that "We will win game 2", a promise he helped fulfill, starting the popular phrase "Guaransheed". He helped them win an unexpected NBA title, beating the heavily favored Lakers 4 games to 1. After the championship season, he paid for replica World Heavyweight Championship belts to be made for each of his teammates and presented them as gifts when the next season's training started.
In the off-season following the Piston's championship win, Rasheed Wallace signed a 5-year, $57 million contract to remain in Detroit.
Throughout the 2004-05 season, Wallace often carried the belt into his locker before games to inspire the Pistons' title defense. He had several notable moments in the playoffs. After the second-round elimination of the Pacers, Rasheed played his best series of the postseason in the Eastern Conference finals against the top-seeded Miami Heat. After falling behind again, he again "guaranteed success". He shot a 50 percent field goal percentage and averaged 14.5 points a game in the series' seven games, and saved his hottest-shooting night for the decisive Game 7. Against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, Rasheed's tenacious defense and clutch shooting helped the Pistons to split the series 3-3, but in the last game, the Pistons lost 81-74.
On February 9, 2006, Wallace was selected to play in the 2006 NBA All-Star Game in Houston, Texas as a reserve forward for the Eastern Conference.
