 DENVER (AP) - The NBA can fine Detroit's Rasheed Wallace all it wants. He's not going to change the way he plays. Money is just not that important to him. Wallace picked up his 16th technical foul of the season — incurring an automatic one-game suspension — in the Pistons' 95-82 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night.
He was unapologetic for drawing the second-quarter technical after jawing at an official.
"It don't matter to me," Wallace said of the fine he'll draw. "They think suspending me one game, I'm losing all this money and this and that. Money ain't nothing to me for the simple fact I wasn't born with it. Just as fast as you get money, you can lose money. Money's not going to change my character, money's not going to change the person I am."
