Known for his excellent runs in Portland and Detroit, he also played for the Washington Bullets during his rookie year and spent the 2009-2010 season with the Boston Celtics before retiring. He only stayed retired for two seasons though, at which point he made a forgettable comeback and played 21 games for the New York Knicks. But that’s still 21 times as many games as he played for the Atlanta Hawks. After acquiring Wallace from the Blazers, Atlanta let him play 42 minutes and score 20 points on 8-24 shooting in a game against the New Jersey Nets. Before Wallace had a chance to play his second game in Atlanta, he was dealt to the Pistons.
