- June 13, 2004 - After being mired by foul trouble and plantar fasciitis through the first three games of the 2004 NBA Finals, it turned out to be Los Angeles Lakers reserve forward Slava Medvedenko who served as the catalyst for waking Rasheed Wallace from his slumber. Slipping in a stray elbow to Wallace's midsection midway through the third quarter of Game 4, Medvedenko beared the brunt of the response, with Wallace targeting Medvedenko in the post in the mini-altercation's immediate aftermath.
In all, Wallace finished with a team-high 26 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, and 2 assists in an 88-80 win, placing the Pistons squarely on the brink of earning their third NBA championship in franchise history.

Sheed’s post game was beautiful to watch
And he could actually shoot.
He meant it about playing dirty if they wanted to though 😂
Yeah. His post game was serious.
Its right up there with Tweed blazers, waxed canvas jackets and wool baseball caps.
Yessir indeed!!
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye! Crazy.
What’s crazy is with HD tv coming out what in the early 2000’s, broadcasts like this don’t look that old anymore. If you watched something 20 years old back in 2004, you would have known it old.
I was dreading every year up to this point because I didn’t want to go THIS long without winning my again.
Wow man me too . I was just a little kid. This team was incredible
@@dorianpaisley-smith303 incredible ain't the word they were nasty....... where do I start Rip Hamilton shoot from anywhere..Sheed Swiss army knife and can shoot.....Big shot Billup's.... and another Swiss army knife in Prince..... with an enforcer in Ben! Nasty 5! Nobody was tall enough to defend Shaq but they was Damm for sure though with heart..... this team and the kg celts🎉🎉
It's a crime that we didn't win more than one championship with that team.
Such a shame, but we ran into Tim and Pop the next year and unlike LA they had a well rounded team too
@@teecollins1523 they had them on the ropes, but they couldn’t finish
Detroit lost alot of bench players when they faced the spurs in the 2005 finals, it was not the same team.
@@Harasnails Detroit lost the 05 finals because the man highlighted in this video decided to leave Robert Horry wide open.
@@RogueStatusXThis man knows the truth
“But I can play like that if they want me too.” Sheed was a wild dude 😂😂😂
That Sheed turnaround jumper in the post… chefs kiss
BALL DONT LIE
man this statement never gets OLD FAM
Ball, didn’t lie!!!
There's a video where he screams it so loud it echoes in the whole arena
Listen to me. I am 35 now…born, raised, and still living in Detroit teaching high school to kids who weren’t even thought of during this era of Pistons basketball. I was in the 9th grade during these finals…brings tears to my eyes watching this. You had to be there!!
Man, it's feels so long watching a competitive Pistons team. There are kids in college who were babies when the Pistons last won a playoff game.
You ain't lyin. This is one my favorite eras of basketball and these Pistons was my favorite squad of all-time. You had to earn everything you got. To be real I know I am in the minority, but I love defense and l somewhat like offense.
We didn't used to be this old 😂
That's not true but it's close we won a series on 08 so it would be a high school kid
@@17thN.Oplayers today havesctopidafroww
I was more of a Nets fan around this era because I loved Jason Kidd growing up but I loved everything basketball. This was such a great time to watch the NBA, it’s a shame what it’s become.
49-49 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd is crazy teams are already at 100 points by the 4th quarter today
Look at those high scoring teams in the '80s
It’s called they actually played defense back then
The opposing team only averaged like 80 something a game that season against Detroit, don't think it was the Era it was pistons defense they were amazing
yea high level defense and people didn’t shoot threes every possession
@@BlakkSimbabig facts
I couldn't click on this one fast enough when I saw it pop up. DEEEE-TROIT BASKETBALLLLLL!! RIP Stuart Scott.
Sheed would embarrass dray
Exactly.
Sheed would beat tf outa him and score on him
And he was always embarrasing himself 🤦🏻♂️
Men just built different back then. Dray is too modern age. Shawn Kemp would rain man on him. Rodman have him crying. Anthony Mason and Oak man abuse him. List goes on.
@@dannynhl9441 why so much hate on Drae if he is the only tough guy nowadays
Left shoulder right shoulder, mid range, 3. Underrated
I Enjoyed this Final so much. Everyone thought the Lakers were gonna Blow the Pistons-out, (with all their Hype and HOF players) and they got Smoked.
They lucked out and Kobe got that shot in game 2. This was a sweep. Making woulda made a difference but we'll never know
It should have been the Wolves in these Finals. But, we all know how much the refs love the Lakers. Sam Cassell's injury didn't help, either.
They were calling it a 5 game sweep because the pistons played dominating ball all five games and the Lakers got lucky with Kobe’s bomb at the end of game 2
This is what sheed would do to Draymond.
No doubt
So that for the people in the back
ALL DAY
Where do you think Draymond got it from
Sheed had the pure talent of a Tim Duncan, but he just wasn’t built to be an all-game lead dog. That’s why he was perfect for the Pistons
Tim is a bad comparison as Sheed was more like a Dirk type who was also an all world defender.
What type is sheed,duncan and dirk..big is big man PF..they all can shoot,dribble.
Timmy was a beast in the paint, but limited in outside shot selection. Both Dirk and Sheed were a threat outside the arc too.
@@Tahderonecan knock down a open 3 yes. A threat no. Both mid range killers thi
Loved Wallace's game
SHEEED...future hall of famer
Lol he should be hof not sure if he will get in
He was a great piece to a great team.
One of the best bigs all Time...dont have the scoring stats to match but he is aBOB MACADOO level talent@j-roc6989
@@7neophyteSheed could have avg 25ppg easy too
He should’ve been in
1:28 Rasheed Wallace was essential in this clip! Yet, Chauncey Billups was the Perfect 1 Man off ball during this run. He's giving Rip Hamilton all the ques but keeping Rasheed in the limelight. Even when he doesn't have the ball he is transitioning motions with his hands. This Pistons Team had it all with Big Ben, Tashaun Prince in this. They all brought key factors.
Yea man Princes Defense was always lock down thats what i loved about his game. He played on both ends of the floor hell the whole front line up did
boutdat action ! Ol boy Rasheed said " We can play like that " if" you want to ! "
Sheeds game was great but I loved his tude. He’s even irritated with the interviewer after a win, classic😎
Rasheed Wallace was SO GOOD! He would average 27-28 in today’s game. One of the original “Stretch 4’s”
Heck ya! Except stretch fours were having success in the 70s and 80s
I won tickets for front row seats and got to meet and shootaround with this Pistons roster as a 7 year old kid. Loved these dudes and Rasheed was the nicest athlete I’ve ever met.
@2:27 Ben locking O'Neal out
That's that laziness Kobe talks about ..
@@jeremylevantnot really, Wallace is a physical specifiman and had great position and without knowing how many fouls Shaq had and such, or if the pistons were in the penalty it’s hard to imagine anything other than an over the back there.
Now to be clear, this isn’t to suggest that Shaq didn’t have lazy tendencies, but he was out maneuvered here
Love this. I remember Doc saying that part about letting sleeping dogs lie. Rasheed Wallace could play in the post as well as anyone today with that range and understanding of the game.
“Understanding of the game” you nailed it. A lot of people don’t recognize how smart some of these players like Sheed were. That entire squad were.
@@OGK_Show Smart and fundamentally sound
🎯Where’s was you all’s GOAT Kobe during this series???
67-62 midway thru the 4th…not halftime. And look how exciting this game is. More points, faster pace, chucking up bad shots, todays game feels like a rec run.
Were the 80s a “rec run” as well?
@@Redbrick2424yes
@@Redbrick2424 watch one game frome the 85-86 Celtics, look how physical they play and look how they move the ball around. Then watch any game from almost any team today, look at that matador defense combined with one guy dribbling the air out of the ball while he kills the shot clock. Then ask which one would you rather watch.
@@lp3860 the 86 Celtics are one of the greatest teams of all time. It was beautiful to watch them play. I loved watching the Bad Boy Pistons as well. Same with the 90s Bulls, the 90s Knicks, and the late 80s to early 90s Cavs (very underrated team). Same with the 2000s Spurs, the Bad Boy 2.0 Pistons, Kobe and Shaq and then just Kobe and the Lakers, etc. However, the difference between me and you is I continue to respect greatness. If you can’t respect the Big 3 Heat and the battles they had with the Celtics and Pacers, or the Cavs/Warriors series in 2016 and 2017, or the Raptors run in 2019, etc, etc, I don’t know what to tell you. You’re not a fan of basketball or greatness. You’re a fan of specific eras and will do anything you can to disparage other eras because in your mind, it makes your favorite era somehow better. Sad.
You can thank Jordan.
damn I loved when Sheed would post-up, he would dominate most defenders down low
Wallace never grew up (emotionally), he was a man-child with a very short fuse and a beef with the world. I hope he finds inner peace someday.
Do you know him personally?
Medvedenko elbows Wallace but at 00:10 Wallace slaps his candy ass and puts him back in his place. ahhahaaha
Totally forgot Malone played for the lakers. Lmfao.
How??????
@@younglove3362he obviously didn’t see it live.
And still couldn't get a ring 😢
He was the jinx
@@anthonypimping201
Actually, the Lakers might have won if he didn't get hurt.
I was 14 years old at this game remember it like it was yesterday
Pure basketball. ❤
Tough bball. Not like today
Sheed a legend for this game
great upload
Times when Wallace duo are unstopable
Sheed was such a character that we forget how legit good of a baller he was. And how sweet it was he got his Blazers revenge on the Lakers
I.
Miss this piston's team man
the turnaround Jump shot is so beautful to watch!
Medvedenko can’t guard Rasheed Wallace! Forget it!
Medvedenko was not a good player. He was Karl Malone's back up and only started when Malone was hurt
Medvedenko couldn’t guard Rasheed Wallace. Hell Medvedenko couldn’t guard William Wallace! Had to steal the quote that was originally Mike Downing of the Detroit Free Press when talking about Kelly Tripuka guarding Bernard King. I quote, “Kelly Tripuka guarding Bernard King. Hell Kelly couldn’t guard BB King!”
2:54 fan spelled unbelievable dead ass wrong 😂😂😂
sheed is one of tge greatest pf of all time
More HD videos of Sheed, PLEASE!
*Sheed was unstoppable on the 2004 Pistons!*
I was at almost every game in '04 and was at this game so hype...Detroit Pistons was unstoppable...Guarant'Sheed
Basketball was before, no now
Rasheed's dunk on the floor cam and Kobe's desperation, very special.
I'm thinking, how did they set up that floor cam?
I loved me Rasheed’s game. I also liked that he wasn’t afraid of the Lakers at the time.
My favorite part of 'Sheeds defensive game was when he would pull the chair out from under players. He'd lean on them a few times, and then step out of the way causing them to travel.
Sheed starts a fight then uses it as motivatoon. Love it
I wish you went out to defend that 3point shot by Horry
sheed was a baller. Werent many guys who could play at his level in the league. Most underrated PF possibly ever. Dude was a stretch with a post game. He would DOMINATE the game today.
I worked for the magic from 2004-2013, these pistons teams were always the team to beat the first few years I was there, what a balanced squad they had, we had some good playoff games against them…
that medvedenko frustration elbow - thought he can push Sheed, hilarious
Two years later, Shaquille O'Neal and Gary Payton got their revenge on the Pistons
That score is crazy
Rip Stuart Scott
nothing beat the entire Palace yelling "SHEEEEEEEEEEEED" during the games. The NBA was so good 20+ years ago. Detroit wholeheartedly accepted sheed to Detroit and loved his inner BAD BAY.
Got damn forgot how much I love Sheed
Wallace was so unstoppable he only displayed that when he felt like it tho….
that laker team the Pistons beat was ridiculous with talent, and they couldn't make it work........................and I still love it.
58-62 with 9 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. Todays NBA could never. With exception of a select few, no one plays defense today. Everyone wants to load manage on defense (I’m looking at you Luka)
The ball dont lie 😂
That Pistons team could score with the best of them. They decided to slow the game down and make the other team work while they lock up defensively. They changed the NBA but now it’s a much worse product.
Wallace should be a hall of famer. He destroyed lakers in that series. They had no answer.
Just seeing them play again. Just seeing pro-basketball played like basketball. Just seeing that great, great team again. I miss that team so much. They just went to work.
Philly Philly.. we got sheed.. Kobe.. n Wilt.. the best big 3 ever
When Detroit traded for Sheed from Portland, the Piston turned into a championship team INSTANTLY! BEST TIME OF MY LIFE.
I like the fact that wallace said don't throw elbows! This pistons team proved you can win a Title without playing dirty or injurying other players.
sheed was tripping, he the one bumped into him doing the most lol
Give me chills
sheed was unstoppable in the post when he wanted to be.
Floor camera awesome
I loved listening to Al Michaels forced to create superlatives to describe the Pistons. The whole media thought the Lakers would take the series and be lucky to get a game.
What they didn't realize was that the Finals had already happened against Indiana. Lakers would've had major trouble with them also.
It's the last time I watched basketball. Detroit bad boys❤
Rashid was the hot head of the league back then. I wanna say he lead in technical fouls. That time period of basketball was great, brings me back to my highschool years. That Detroit team was great.
Rasheed Wallace had truth in his game. Very talented guy.
The best part of the clip is before the second basket when Rip swings it to Chauncey, who immediately send it back pointing to Sheed. Dudes mad. Easy points when sheed is mad
Goosebumps
Rasheed my boy! I loved him, go Detroit! Wallace, Prince, Hamilton, Billups and BIG BAD BEN WALLACE BABY
Ben really showed shaq in that series why he will never be the goat
Rasheed Wallace what we needed to win that series he was the final piece
This is The Point … Dray at 6”7 only can Play “One Way” a Triple Nickel … And The same way in The Playoffs , whereas Rasheed can Play various ways … During The Season Rasheed would usually Kill You with His Post Game and in The Playoffs He would turn into Today’s Stretch 4… Rasheed was a Different type of “Smoke”…. And Trust Dray don’t want No Parts of that… Dray is a Guy that has His Picks… And would’ve Never Picked on Rosco…. Rosco Wallace would’ve had a Field Day on a 6”7 Dray!!!!…💯
Sheed with the death stare at the end.
Sheed wasnt playing. Im so glad he was able to leave the game with a ring. He was just too damn talented
Rasheed was a trashtalker Beast while Big Ben was a silent beast the 2 Wallace was the greatest duo in FIGHT
Good freaking times man
2:42 kirby act like he aint take dat shot
Great video!!!!
This is my best lineup team man...they really supported each other...if they knew you was hot...they will make sure you getting the ball all day..thats what they feed off of...teams today..i dont know what they on man
The good ol days 😢 I miss the palace
Ball don’t lie.
The fact that sheed ain’t in the hall of fame should be a crime
Got give credit to Shaq, otherwise things might get escalated.
1 of the most talents pf’s of all time. Doesn’t have the numbers to prove it but I remember there wasn’t 1 guy he wouldn’t give it to when given the chance. This finals he put Malone into retirement as well.
"THIS SHEED IS UNBELIEVABLE "
Rasheed my favorite player
Twenty years later and Luke Walton just signed on as a Detroit Pistons assistant coach
5:10 RIP Stuart
Stuart Scott!!
