Rasheed Wallace Shares Legendary Hoop Stories: Ducking MJ 1v1, Battling Shaq & Kobe, KnicksTape Era

Sheed pulled up to 7PM in Brooklyn and shared stories from every era of his basketball life.
Sheed tells the untold story of Michael Jordan pulling up to UNC practice during his first NBA retirement and playing his teammates 1-on-1. You gotta hear Sheed’s reply when Mike asked if he wanted to hoop next.

He also breaks down how his game would translate in today’s NBA, why he’d be a problem as a modern stretch big, and why players from his era had a different kind of pride in real matchups.

From there, Melo and Sheed go deep on the Knickstape era, the NBA trying to ban the 3-to-the-dome cellie, hooping in Air Force 1s, and the defensive chaos Sheed brought to that Knicks locker room. Plus, Sheed shares stories from battling Shaq and Kobe, explains what made Shaq impossible to deal with, and discusses what it would have looked like if the Pistons had taken Melo in 2003.
