i doubt wallace is scared of artest or anyone in the NBA. he picked a fight with oakley (who's crazy himself during his days) when he was 18. have you seen the arms on wallace? artest wasn't warming up to fight wallace... he prefers fighting the palace INSTEAD of wallace.
not saying artest was scared... but he definitely thought twice about getting it on with ben. it wasn't like ben was hiding.
"Artest took out the whole Palace as a warmup.." pssh, i hope you don't believe that.
watch this again and tell me artest won't think twice about fighting ben. he's the big dude that shovel artest 10 feet backwards without barely twitching his arms.
After Wallace pushes him and starts "tracking him down"... I mean, I kind of got scared, and I'm in my livingroom.
I can't stand Ben Wallace, he was a terrible Bull, but I wouldn't mess with him.
Charles Oakley was pretty similar. Does anybody remember Brad Miller getting into it with Shaq a few years back in Chicago? The only reason Brad Miller didn't run to the lockerroom (like any sane person) was the fact that oldass Charles Oakley was standing behind him...
There is no one toughest guy, because when you list the things one would do to be considered tough, multiple players would be willing to do most things on that list.
Generally, franchise players have a high pain threshold, serve as spokesmen for their team, and will come to the rescue of their teammates when things get heated during a game. There are a few exceptions among that group though.
A lot of the defensively adept guys who aren't quite athletic but just go out there, do their job and bust their *** come to mind. Especially the ones who are the "Never back down" type.
Matt Harpring and Raja (despite the flops. I know. Jesus.) come to mind. Harpring kind of embodies that whole thing to me. He's never given a soft foul in his life, plays 100% at all times... and has had two microfracture surgeries... He keeps on going, 100%. He's like Jerry Sloan's wet dream.
