However, the most die-hard fans of the NBA also think of another person - Rasheed Wallace, or in other words &quot;the bad boy of basketball&quot;. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:8pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.3\">Rasheed is one of the best guards in the game for the 21st century, a champion with the Detroit Pistons in 2004, but fans surely remember him most for his fiery temper and the line &quot;ball don&#039;t lie&quot; (note line . \u2013 the ball doesn&#039;t lie), which he utters after another basketball player&#039;s penalty line miss, after Wallace is convinced that he did not commit a foul. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:8pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.3\">To be such a good defender and energetic basketball player, however, Wallace has to sacrifice a lot, and his big mouth and rough defensive play cost him a lot of trouble with the referees and the league management, who regularly fined him for intemperate behavior. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:8pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.3\">Rasheed Wallace holds the NBA record for the most ejections from games - 29 times he left the floor prematurely for arguments with referees, flagrant fouls and what not. There&#039;s even an instance where the ref kicks him out of a game because Wallace stares at him for more than 10 seconds. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:8pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.3\">He also has another record on his account - in the 2000\/01 season, when he was in the Portland Trailblazers team, he recorded as many as 41 technical fouls on his account - an achievement that no one even dared to improve. Because of his behavior this season, the NBA introduced a new rule - if a player receives 15 technical fouls, he is automatically suspended for 1 game. However, he never stops with his nagging of referees, fouls and constant &quot;bad&quot; behavior. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:8pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.3\">In his 18-year NBA career, Rasheed Wallace recorded 317 technical fouls. On the all-time list, he is &quot;just&quot; third, with Charles Barkley (329) and Karl Malone (332) above him, but both have significantly more games and minutes played than Wallace.  <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rasheed had his share of drama in the NBA<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6453,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,13],"tags":[118,11],"class_list":["post-8215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-basketball","tag-1995-2013","tag-usa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
