Ben Wallace: Pistons Champ 'Different Era'
5 Jul
Summary
- Ben Wallace says 2004 Pistons are not like 2016 Cavs.
- Pistons players stay in touch but avoid European getaways.
- Wallace hopes to speak with Chauncey Billups soon.
Ben Wallace, a key player for the 2004 NBA champion Detroit Pistons, recently commented on the team's camaraderie compared to the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers. While the Cavaliers celebrated their 10-year anniversary with a trip to Saint-Tropez, Wallace indicated that the Pistons have a different approach to team bonding.
"We all a little bit different," Wallace explained, attributing the difference to growing up in a "different era." He mentioned that while the Pistons players stay in contact, planning elaborate group getaways like European vacations is not characteristic of their style.
Despite not organizing large-scale reunions, the Pistons players did come together for the final games played at the now-demolished Palace of Auburn Hills. Wallace also shared his intention to speak with former teammate Chauncey Billups, who is reportedly dealing with a rigged poker case, expressing hope for a positive interaction.
