Ben Wallace, the kid from rural Alabama,  went from being  roadside barber to make money, to counting his NBA defensive player of the year awards and polishing his Championship ring.

Before Wallace returned to Detroit, plenty of Pistons fans had the debate on whether his Jersey would be up in the Palace rafters one day.   I was always hoping that one day it would, but thought it would be a long time coming.  He did leave to play for the enemy and the organization was quick to hand his number over to Rodney Stuckey and transform the new number three into the face of the franchise.

Now that he’s returned….to glory, for less than a price of a Bean Burrito, I have no doubt that one day the #3 will be hanging in the rafters at the Palace.

Here is a little video special on the man before the Fro, well and a little after, just check out the teal and maroon.

I was getting ready to toon a Froless Ben Wallace when I thought to myself…

What was he thinking when he cut it off….

His Fro is Magic!

UPDATE: Just fixed this video…If you watched it before make sure you watch it now… and you will know why Ben’s From is Magic!

Personally I think he needs to GROW the FRO back, it will be like the fountain of youth for him on the basketball court and give him the ability to do things like this again.

If you’re in, Leave a comment in this post or Vote or Both. This will serve as a petition to Big Ben that we are  PRO FRO!

And if you are a twitterer… I’m starting a #GrowTheFro movement.

Let’s do this!
