Description
While many think that the NBA is dominated by flash and style, it’s proven once again - by the World Champion Detroit Pistons - that team work, passionate play, and relentless defense wins championships. Highlight dunks and jaw-dropping crossovers look great on TV, but when it comes down to it, it’s about team chemistry, stubborn defense, and controlling the boards-- it all comes down to the basics. When it comes to these elements, no player exemplifies these qualities better than Detroit Piston Center Ben Wallace. Demonstrated through his hard work ‘in the paint,’ tenacious defense, and winning attitude, Wallace led his team to capture the 2003-2004 NBA Championship. Given that the ESPN NBA 2K5 team and Ben Wallace personify passion for excellence, there is no more complete basketball video game than ESPN NBA 2K5.
