 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Rasheed Wallace is credited with turning the Detroit Pistons into champions. They have, in turn, helped him improve his image.
His teammates and coaches love him, like they always have. Fans adore him, like they have at times. Officials will chat with him, even those who wouldn't in the past, and reporters now get along with him.
Wallace's temper made him a notorious member of the Portland Trail Blazers — and the NBA — for seven-plus seasons before he was dealt last year to Atlanta and later Detroit.
