Link to vote Gerald Wallace into the all star game

In his 9th NBA season, Charlotte Bobcats Captain Gerald Wallace is having career highs in rebounds per game (11.8), 3 point percentage (33.9%), FT percentage (75.4%), and minutes played (41.8, which currently leads the league). His 18.2 points per game are second only to Jax (20.4) for the team lead. #3 is the Bobcats all time leader in steals, points scored, FTs attempted and made, 2nd in rebounds, 2nd in blocks, & 3rd in assists. G-Force has given the Bobcats 6 years of tough play even when the team was not successful. Now that we're winning and in the playoff hunt its good to see him get some recognition which hopefully translates into a roster spot on the All Star team in Dallas.

G-Force buzzer beater downs Grizz

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—With the final seconds ticking down in a tie game Saturday night, Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace knew teammate Raymond Felton was going to throw up a floater.

So just as Felton left the floor, Wallace jumped, too.

“I know my hang time is a lot longer than his,” Wallace said, smiling. “So I’ll be up there for a minute.”

With part-owner Michael Jordan sitting courtside, Wallace did an impressive impersonation. He leaped over Memphis’ Zach Randolph, caught the air ball on the other side of the rim, and dropped it in as time expired.

The crowd roared as Wallace tumbled to the floor. All that was separating Charlotte’s 89-87 win over Memphis was the formality of a replay review.

“I was like, ‘Man, did I get it off?”’ Wallace said. “Then I looked at the replay on the JumboTron and I was like, ‘Man, that wasn’t even close.”’

Moments after Felton’s two missed free throws allowed O.J. Mayo’s 3-pointer to tie it for Memphis, Wallace’s second stunning play in the final minute gave the Bobcats their fourth win in five games.

Wallace had a spectacular block of Mayo’s driving layup attempt just seconds earlier.

“The guy made a great play,” said Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins, who gave Wallace a fist bump and congratulated him in the hallway outside the locker room. “We got the defensive stop, he came over Zach’s back and tipped it in for the winner.”

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
