He has an incredible southern voice. He could be a great pastor.

6 eastern conference finals in a row, anyone but Darko and we have more than 1 ring. Resign Okur and we go back to back. Still, that year we did win, that was amazing.

Definitely well deserved and long overdue congrats Ben Detroit wouldn’t be Detroit without you

[Romans]

He and Dennis Rodman did the little things to make their teammates better. Very grateful for Mr. Wallace to be rewarded for his hard work

[lukata]

Ben Wallace you are an example of true hard work, true teamwork, coachability, hustle, selflessness, and community involvement and we here in Detroit will forever be grateful for the smile you put on our faces throughout the 2000s, you always have a home on 7Mile Big Ben we absolutely love you bro 💯💯💯💯

If anyone played Nba Street Vol 2. Ben Wallace could block any shot, he was so fun!

Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Tyshawn Prince, Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups. The best assembled starting 5 ever in NBA'S history in my opinion. None of them were elite superstars. However, all five combined made them UNSTOPPABLE. It was a pleasure watching them play for Pistons from 2002 - 2006.
Congrats on your induction into the HOF my brother. 🙏

Us Detroiters are extremely proud of Big Ben. Well deserved

[dissaver]

Being at Game 5 in 2004 when we won the championship was the best experience of my life. Thank you Ben, your defense was immaculate.

[wongchai]

Elite defender, elite rebounder...he was incredible. Well deserved.

[DwayneIsKNG]

I guess I've never seen a recent picture of Ben. 2021 Ben shocked me by the great hair 😂

[alexanderadonyae]

Ben Wallace absolute legend here in Detroit💯💪💯 one of the greatest to ever do it!!

[rnuke_rocket]

This is long overdue. Congrats, Big Ben💪🎉

Ben Wallace is my generation's Dennis Rodman. The 2000s Detroit Pistons are the only Eastern Conference team I've ever rooted for lol

[EdSmith]

Ben Wallace not only epitomized that Goin' to Work era of Pistons basketball, but for the city of Detroit itself. He was THE heart and soul of that team and one of the best defensive forces in a time where defense was actually appreciated. CONGRATS, BIG BEN! LONG OVERDUE!

[CavsFanDallasFanSinceFebruary]

Finally! It was well deserved and long overdue, the HoF really kept him waiting for no reason.

[Confucius_Spirit]

Big Ben had his umbrella up on the rebounds.. I watch him play and he was a Beast.. Clean player and disciplined.. True pleasure to see that team at its peak.. Well deserved !!!

[allenyoung]

6'9 at most ...nuff said! Thanks for the years and example of hard work paying off. U and the crew made all Michigan natives proud to rep our Pistons with heads held high!👣✊🏾

I remember the beat down Detroit put on the LA Lakers in the 2004 Finals. He was all over Shaq. 😂

Congrats. Well deserved.

This man was our heart, our engine, for a long time. Thank you for everything Big Ben.
