Apparently he lost his passion for the game the second he was told by Pax he couldn't wear a headband to keep up his ridiculously bad fro.
Haha I can see it now: "You mean I can't wear my headband? There's no point in me even playing then." Didn't he wear a headband anyway? At least for a period of time if I remember correctly.
His fro may have been bad to you, but it was iconic of his game. I always preferred his corn rows myself though.
Yea he wore it, and got benched because of it intially. I was so happy when that happened, because his attitude was piss poor at the beginning of the 06-07 season, and he was a big reason why we got out to a horrendous start. He was openly arguing with Skiles on team rules, that no one else had any problems with. In short, he acted like a diva, like A.I., but played more like Robert "Tractor" Traylor. I thought it would kick him in a butt and let him know you're not bigger than the team. But instead it did the exact opposite because Pax then said it was A-OK, (and I think JR was really behind this since he essentially signed him) that Wallace was exempt to the rules other players religiously adhered to, and that started the downfall of Skiles. I liked Wallace's D that year, and he was an integral part of that year's success. But I never liked his attitude from day one, and was not sad in the least when he was shipped off to the overrated LeBron's.
