Yoooo I’m dead. Sheed literally said….”I don’t give a fck about these ref fines..because #1…it’s a tax write-off.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yoooo it wasn’t funny he was just saying . Lamo
Claim of right repayment as an Itemized Deduction, so technically, he's correct.
He says it like he just played a game 😅
Yep we wrote those fines off
@@baruchvalenzuela1679I never knew it
It is honestly refreshing seeing older players be as disgusted as a lot of us fans are with the current game and rules.
People who whine all the time are not right before GOD. They are complainers. Attacking refs are easy targets for stupid people to take their childish frustrations out on, it's really cowardly.
This 🔥🔥🔥
Nm
But ur not disgusted that stern ordered the refs to give all the favor calls to jordan? Gtfoh.
@@ibashcommunists6847 ok bud
Sheed has been one of my favourite hoopers since day one. Not only was he way ahead of his time in terms of his game and talent, but whenever I hear him sit down and talk it's always gold. I've always looked at him as a 7 ft Method Man on basketball shorts 😂 Certified basketball legend right there.
Haaaa a 7 foot Meth.. definitely a real dude
Took me out wit 7 foot method man 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 Bro that's Spot on.
He’s actually like that in person. Just a regular person. Very genuine.
He's saying there is a double standard for Green compared to him but that's mainly because of the 16 tech rule. That rule was created because of Sheed who holds the record for most techs in a season with 41.
Rasheed Wallace is one of the most authentic people to be in the league. Before hearing him you would expect for him to be exactly like this. 💯💯
It’s crazy how they used to call a tech when he yelled out the ball don’t lie after a missed free throw 😂😂
Basketball and NBA basketball are 2 different sports.
This is one of the highest IQ comments of all time, no cap
Exactly
@FUKZU clearly this went over your head. You’re agreeing with exactly what he said lol
Is why usa team doesn't do so well in international play.
@@ComptonCryptoIQ 😂😂😂
I remember him saying “BALL DONT LIE” after someone he “fouled” missed the free throw
Sheed got me saying that playing ball, pool and all kinds of shit, crazy how many times ball indeed don't lie lol
Rasheed was threatening refs. 😂 he said “ don’t let that whistle fool you you gotta go home.”
Iconic
"The refs....they gotta go home at some point" 😂😂😂
Bill said that on Vlad TV not long ago.😏
Off the court he's a bum I have absolutely no respect for him
@@theclubdebogoons2905need a tampon bruh ? Hating ass boi
Rasheed Wallace needs to be in the Hall of Fame without delay. He's a great. One of the few celebrities of any genre that i would love to meet or talk to in person. Bonzi Wells is another great who doesn't get the props that he deserves. I'm glad to see y'all speaking out amongst all the NBA media that's being put out on KZhead and in other spaces these days.
HoF is arbitrary rubbish. "Experts" vote on it. At least the NBAs isn't as broken as the MLB
Numbers aint good enough because he was unselfish player who didnt call for the ball.
I echo your sentiments 100%
@@LamelKendrick Agreed. HoF is bogus. 100% MLB is trash at HoF voting
He doesn't belong.
It's no secret that Sheed was always a real one but seeing his POV raw and uncut like this is funny AF 🤣
I had to cut it off. When I hear people speaking evil, I have a limit. Other people think they are saying some great truth or profound or listen to it in rap music.
@@exclamationpointman3852wtf are you talking about..

@@exclamationpointman3852 what the hell are u talking about! They are saying what happened on an NBA court by corrupt officials. Which did happen!

@@deeskilord100probably wallace talking about burning refs shit down or having his boys beat their ass in the parking lot.
I enjoyed every minute of this interview. The Scott Foster story needs to blow up.
Rasheed was my dude from his N.C. days and his whole NBA career!!! He didn't take bullshit and besides his game that was what made me a big fan!!! Blessings Rasheed!!!
Yesssss!!!! I am so with you!!! Been loving him since NC!!!
Rasheed Wallace & Bonzi Wells are the DEFINITION of a must watch podcast ‼️‼️‼️
I was told by a high profile nba ref who still refs that prior to Kings/Lakers in 2002 they were given a directive by the nba prior to that series to specifically call a travel on Chris Webber for a certain move he had been making all year and that hadn’t been called a travel.
@@msc32511 the Kings got SCREWED that series
@@msc32511 well jus cuz it wasn't called doesn't mean it shouldn't have been was he traveling or not? I don't remember but yea if they knew he was traveling and he was traveling dats messed up 2 jus start calling it in the playoffs but as a Nba player he shudve changed his moves 2 where they couldn't call it if he wasn't traveling end of the day it's in da past in da record books I'm sure dudes got their karma as sheed used 2 say Ball dnt lie lol
@@msc32511they said that the commissioner told them to make certain calls on certain people most definitely watch that Netflix on the refs fixing games the one dude went down for it
FAAAAAAACTS!!!
The battles between Tim and Sheed are Legendary
9:39 Bonzi side-eyeing Sheed when he said he could have had Refs f***ed up….. Hahahahahahahah
I met Sheed years ago while he was on the Pistons in North Philly where he is from. This dude is down to earth as hell. He didn't even dress like he had money. I only recognize him because he is 7 feet tall.
Love me some Sheed!!
Really close to 7ft he's actually 6'11 just like Marcus Camby
@@VinnyVicciano-gz4id For real though you see somebody 6'11 out in public they mind as well be 8' for as much as they are gonna stand out.
The one time Tim Duncan is laughing and having a good time he gets ejected. Couldn't stand Joey Crawford
Yes Joey was on some bullshit
The league should've suspended Crawford and launched an IMMEDIATE investigation for that BS.Duncan didn't say nothing until he realized Crawford was serious.Crawford obviously had money on that game.
I remember that game, hated Joey Crawford
@@user-vp2sc8wd6t😊
lol I remember when Tim got ejected for pushing the ref 😂 that shi was funny
The NBA lost me with the point shaving ref scandal. The way the NBA handled that investigation or lack of an investigation was corrupt at best. There were other refs besides Tim D. that were breaking ref rules like gambling in Vegas, etc. The NBA wanted no part of getting to the truth of the scandal, the NBA just wanted to protect its brand. Players like Rasheed that were fined due to bad calls made by refs that were point shaving should be able to sue the NBA for that fine money back.
That when all my old head dawgs stopped watching, we are 50.
I stopped when Durant ran to GS and nobody clowned him for it.
Exactly. The NBA used Donaghy to cover their scripted games/outcomes.
They were doing that in the Bill Russell days
@@MoralesCornerof course it would itllfuck up there whole fiba shit n there exposure in china
Why did Bonzi predict the choke though?!?!? “ Draymond gotta damn near choke someone to get thrown out the game!”😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂fr
He close…wasn’t no ref he choked
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This what we here for. Rasheed is one of the main guys that's like "oh his game translates to todays NBA!" He be a dawg in any era
Salute to Rasheed he’s a real one
Absolutely, a fellow Philly guy!!
Rasheed talkin about hiring a hacker is WILD😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m available 😂
@@joegreezywats ya tele?
Rasheed was ahead of his time, handles shoot from anywhere and defense 💪🙏❤️
I met Bonzi at the Roy Buley center in Muncie. He was so cool and personable. The kids loved being around him. I respect who he is and what he accomplished. A true positive example of what it means to be a success.👊🏿
765
You can't even hoop at the Buley center anymore if you live in Whitely.
I grew up in Muncie, to of the many talented hoopers there that helped to mold my game were Bonzi's dad and Rasheed Shabazz (R.I.P) . They gave me the ability to go to college in Los Angeles , walk on and play college ball. I've played with so many NBA players, euro league guys and major college guys that I never imagined I would. I have a couple "friends" that are NBA refs right now and guys that help mentor our ref's at the Drew League. This time period that Sheed and Bonzi are referring to me was very easy to see some of the refs manipulate games. I used to point out stuff to my friends and teammates. who thought I was tripping. I used to tell them that it doesn't take a lot of bad calls, just the ones that change momentum and affect players on the floor at crucial times. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure Rasheed was referring to that ref from Pomona! And for those who didn't know, both Chic Hearns and Byron liked Bonzi.
Even as a Lakers fan I couldn’t help but wonder why Portland wasn’t going through Sheed during the 4th quarter of the 2000 WCF; Lakers had no answer for him.
Also was happy
Don't forget Steve Smith
Mannn I was born n raised in Portland…I always felt like that too. He was unstoppable! That laker comeback in the western finals will always hurt cause we had a championship team! 💯
I agree in fact no team had an answer for Sheed
You if want back in watched you'll see the blazers we're balanced as hell they had like 5 or 6 players in double figures always damn nearly but game 7 they choked that game away badly
We loved Bonzi in Memphis. Never the same for a while when he was gone.
Bruh Bonzi was my fkn guy with that thick ahh headband he use to wear 😂😂 man those blazers teams were fun to watch with sheed, bonzi, damon Stoudamire, jermaine oneal, pippen, sabonis, steve smith, shrempf. They were a problem. For a couple years
Portland Hellraisers we always called that bunch. Loved watching them play
29:27 My new basketball reminder alert ringtone is Sheed singing the tune of the Sunday afternoon NBC NBA games. I really Love Sheed's Humorous story telling! LMAO : ) do do do do do do do doooo.
The Netflix documentary about Donaghy, Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul talked about “the emails” Sheed is talking about, league mandates to the refs about what violations to look for which would single out certain players. Donaghy told a story about Chicago Phil Jackson telling the young ref he’s not supposed to call violations on Jordan
Feel like Donaghy took the heat for all the refs were involved in gambling. One referee is just a troublemaker, two or more points back to the system
BEST POST YET….!!!!!!! 💯💯💯
@@cavhaynes no doubt, the league tried to frame him as a lone wolf because the image of a corrupted league ran by the refs going public would have been the end of their billion dollar business.
@@cavhaynes He definitely was the fall guy
@@KeizorSoze1 One year in prison, not much of a consequence for his actions
This isn’t just NBA thing, it’s also with cooperate America, where they feel like they can do whatever they want within their confined concrete building, but just like Sheed said, EVERYONE gotta go home one point in time. Well said.
Facts this BS happens at companies I worked at where think they can do what they want and u gotta take it
Sheed was so darn talented. Too real for the masses. 👍🏾💪🏾💯
I always loved that Blazers roster, very genuine and exciting charisma you simply don't see anymore!
This is the best NBA content ever because Sheed is a wild man. Talking realstuff and how he plotted against Refs in his head. This is hilarious and entertaining. Like Attitude Era NBA. The only other dude i heard talking this real was Royce White, and he obviously wasn't on Sheed's level.
What a time to be alive. Who would’ve thought that the best content we could ask for as fans is given to us freely by the ones played the game. Gilbert, KG, Matt and Stak, Iggy and Evan, JJ and the list goes on. Hell, if Kobe was still with us he was going to become one of the goats of this era with the show he had. It’s good stuff man.
@@mossgreengiftsmost definitely 💯💯 gotta watch knuckleheads fasho too
He's definitely from Philly
😢❤❤❤❤❤
I Wouldn’t Say “He Plotted”; The Refs Did. He Just Formulated & Put Together a Plan To Deal With “There Plotting”!!!!🤷🏾♂️
“…How many he go to the line doh?” “…Now I’m hitting em with that logic” “Before the 10min mark Raja Bell got two fouls and on the bench” “…y’all put me out real quick” -Rasheed Wallace 💯💯💯
Bonzi's comments about Stern were 100% accurate. Little guy talked crazy to people behind the scenes. I used to work for the League so I know firsthand.
Really?
What did you do

@@_vympr_what he cappn bout
I was growing up in Michigan during the Wallace days. He would always play a hard game. The player you would rely on late in the game when in time of need for hard earned points. Very interesting to see this perspective. Because he can back up all this with his play.
when he got mad, he demanded it in the post and dominated! Wallace and Wallace prevented teams from scoring 70 points at times
Love Sheed - "You gotta go home ...you gotta leave this arena" - whistle* TECHNICAL FOUL ON Rasheed Wallace lol
BALL DON'T LIE ! ! ! ! And these Baller's don't lie Either. Loved it when dudes would brick their bogus free throw attempts and Sheed would Yell that! It always made me SO Happy that at least He's not going to take it without some smack talk! Don't worry Sheed, I and everyone watching on TV would know it. IT was kinda funny at the time SOMEtimes, but the money fines and that whole deal needs some Big time scrutiny for sure. Thank You Sheed and Bonzi for the bigger picture! Much love to these Guys and their Families, Because We Watch for You Guys, through thick and thin, Not Broken Refs.! Sheed was Always one of my Fav. Bigs if not Fav. big while He was playing. And Bonzi was always a tough respectable baller too! Look forward to more of Your side to these Important enlightening Stories My BBall Heroes : )
"Don't let that whistle fool you, y'all gotta go home"!-Sheed on the street pull up.
Being 38 and from Philly currently in the suburbs, Sheed is a NBA Legend. We could see when he was getting the techs. They are using his solidarity ,self respect, with a slight lack of self control against him. By making him wear the Philly reputation
Yall FINALLY posted the whole thing
These guys and that Portland team made me watch every game.

@sir_evergreen facts!!!
I’ve never seen a guy get more screwed over by the refs against Shaq than Sabonis. I remember on one play Shaq ram him over and knocked him down while dunking the ball, call the foul call on Sabonis, the. Kicks Sabonis while he’s on the ground and Sabonis got a technical on top of it. Unbelievable.
Re watched the game a few months ago.. terrible
Exactly he was one of few biggest to not get bullied by Shaq so had to call BS fouls..
I wish we knew how Rasheed really feels about nba referee's lmao.. and I'm with bonzi wells on what he said about players not being homies with players from other teams. That's what made it so competitive back then. And the part about draymond going nuts on a ref and not getting a tech, so true.. sheed said "I've had ample opportunities to fck up a ref" 😂😂
Sheed is was one of the best to ever play. He could play all positions if he wanted. He had handles, range, basketball IQ, heart, and talent. So good.
He was nice , he couldn't do lay point or shooting guard
Man sheed was a beast

Yo Sheed was always one of my favorite NBA players. I loved his game and the fact that he didn't take no shit on the court from players or the establishment. So to hear this interview explains exactly why I identified so much with him.
Rasheed Wallace need to be inducted into Hall of Fame in my opinion
The fines being a tax write off is wild lol….
I love watching Bonzi listen to Sheed talk. These guys are true legends.
Them Rasheed air forces are goated
Him apologizing in advance to his new teammates is hilarious!
That Joe Dumars impersonation 😂😭

Much respect to Sheed my fellow Simon Gratz High School alumni.
Great Content Sheed & Bonzi are Some real ones no company man answers
Sheed is incredible remembering everything like it just happened.
I'm still heartbroken over the 4th quarter game 7 with LAkers. Rasheed, Bonzi, Pippin, Sabonis we had a squad boy
The NBA didn't want the "Jail Blazers" to be the face of the league
My favorite NBA team ever that was my first year watching the NBA. They was loaded I still play NBA live 2000 when ain't shit to do.
@@truthiscensoredespecially a Portland and Indiana Finals, Stern would had a fit

Bro, been looking at the clips wondering....
When conspiracy theorists used to say pro sports were rigged I scoffed, thinking they were delusional! This interview changed my mind!
All professional sport are rigged and fixed!!
Check sheed and bonz interview with Donaghy himself then
I'm only 6'1, but I'm using that "7 Footin'em" 😂

19:17 “Did you ever have issues with referees after Donaghy?” .. Yeahhh 😂
Ball don't lie and neither does Sheed. Donaghy gets caught and all the cameras go straight to his house lol
It was fun playing vs his son in high school in Michigan then Sheed walking in still dressed like 05 😂 Cool dude fr!
If Samuel L Jackson from the H8ful 8 played basketball it would be Sheed

I love these brothers dropping their insight on the NBA of the past and the current state of the league. And Rasheed saying I will see you outside love it
Rasheeds a real dude! And great player.. it always looked like the refs singled him out. It became a theme. Interesting interview
This is crazy, I’ve been up since 3am it’s 7:30 and this showed in my feed, 2 of my favorite players damn man instant sub❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥TY UNDERDOG NBA

When he imitated the NBC Hardwood theme song at @29:28 😁
My Man Sheed Mr. "Ball dont Lie" 🏀🏀🏀🏀
Ball don't lie and neither does Rasheed!
The jailblazers were lit
The game that made me realize the league was rigged was Lakers vs Warriors in 2013, the game where Kobe injured his Achillies tendon. The Lakers needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The problem was Steph came out of the gate looking like he was about to drop 50. Lakers proceeded to shoot over 50 free-throws that game and narrowly won. That was the most blatantly rigged game I've ever witnessed live.
Also Warriors Lakers play in years ago. Warriors was spanking them the first half and the 3rd quarter refs were calling all the fouls against the Warriors. They got in foul trouble and Lakers won by 3
The Lakers have always got calls in their favor because they are the NBAs darling franchise. David Stern said his dream finals matchup would be the Lakers vs The Lakers. If that don’t tell you something then maybe the 2000 WCF will. They shot 28 fts in the 4th quarter alone
Try being a Duncan/Spurs fans. The "riggedness" was blatant. Remember allowing Derek Fisher 00:00.4 seconds shot.

THE NFL also
It is listed that way
It is on the ticket
They do
the nba and nfl is considered " sports entertainment " in the court of law.

It's about time we hear more stories from players perspectives about the biased officiating. I always thought the Blazers got screwed but Bonzi has put a different perspective on it to where if the players don't believe it was the refs, I can let it go a little easier in that game 7.
This was like a therapy session for Sheed, Woosah 🧘 lol
It would be cool if he had the footage for these incidents in the video.
That raja take is wild lmao
I love picturing Sheed going on Google just typing in any refs name that has messed with him and finding information on the guy. Especially back then… most people would have wondered how he even found out such information. Legend.
I could listen to this shit all day!!!
