A media report says that Ben Wallace will be named to the 2021 class of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Wallace was the center for the 2004 Detroit Pistons’ NBA championship team, and is widely recognized as one of the top defensive players in league history.
According to ESPN’s Marc J. Spears, the Basketball Hall of Fame will announce Sunday that Ben Wallace will be among those named to their 2021 class.
Ben Wallace was only 6-9, 240-pounds but his relentless attitude helped make up for his lack of size, and endeared him to Pistons fans.
