Like his memorable in-game quote, "Ball don't lie," this time the headline doesn't lie, Rasheed Wallace decides to come out of retirement, as he joins the Knicks training camp in Westchester.
The last time we saw Wallace donning an NBA jersey was in 2010 in his only season with the Boston Celtics. He was able to make his third finals appearance that year, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in a grueling seven games.
The 38-year-old Rasheed Wallace will be joining a more hopeful Knicks squad. Despite making many key additions that can potential make them contenders in the Eastern Conference, analysts and fans argue that they have signed, "too many old guys," over young talent.
The news of Wallace includes him in that list of veteran players in the roster. Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, and Kurt Thomas being the other acquisitions made this off-season.
