he was the best player we had on two Western Conference Finals teams. it may be fifteen years before we get there again, folks.

this is from NBA.com:
* Selected to third All-Star team 02/09/06
* Recorded his 5,000th career rebound on 12/3/05 vs. Chicago
* Teamed with Ben Wallace to form the fifth-best block shot duo in the league (3.84 bpg) in 2005
* Recorded at least one block in all but 16 games in 2005
* Named NBA Community Assist Award winner for February, 2005 for his “Student Achiever Program” and “Sheed’s Squad” ticket giveaway
* Recorded a playoff career-high five blocks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Indiana on 5/24/04
* Scored a 2004 playoff-high 26 points on 10-of-23 shooting with 13 rebounds in Game 4 of the NBA Finals vs. LA Lakers (6/13)
* Named to the NBA Western Conference All-Star Team in 2000 and 2001
* Finished second to Orlando's Darrell Armstrong in voting for the NBA's Sixth Man Award in 1998-99 after ranking sixth in the league in field goal percentage at .508 and finishing second on the team in scoring (12.8 ppg) and third in rebounding (4.9 rpg) and blocks (1.10 bpg)
* Named to the 1995-96 NBA All-Rookie Second Team after averaging 10.1 ppg and 4.7 rpg
* Participated in the Schick NBA Rookie Game during the 1996 NBA All-Star Weekend in San Antonio, scoring 12 points, including the winning basket for the Eastern Conference

three all-star teams. a top player on four conference finals teams. two finals appearances. one championship.

nope, he doesn't deserve any of the success he's had with the Pistons.
