With the Pistons, the four-time All-Star became one of the best defensive players in the league. During his tenure at Detroit, the 48-year-old won one championship in 2004. Apart from that, he played for various other teams in the league like the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls, and the Orlando Magic.

Wallace was famous in the league for his elite rebounding and shot-blocking skills. Therefore, adding points to the scoreboard was not his primary duty, rather, he was the one to stop the opposition from adding points to the board. Wallace ended his career with an average of 5.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 1,088 games.
