The NBA's ''Other'' Wallace is not a Piston

The Forward. That position in basketball changed throughout the years, now we have power forwards and small forwards. We even have point forwards in the NBA, as popularized by Phil Jackson.

But of all the forwards in the league, who is moving forward this year?

Gerald Wallace.

Gerald Wallace has been playing under the radar this year, and I'm sure none of you knew that he is having an All-Star-like season with the Charlotte Bobcats.

Wallace is still improving, as well. He's only 23 years old and is really in only his second season of action, because he spent three seasons at the end of Sacramento's bench before the Bobcats stole him in the expansion draft.

Aside from carrying the ''Wallace'' name, Gerald Wallace can come up with at least two SportsCenter-quality plays any given night. He's fast, can play defense and he can jump.

I don't know what the Sacramento Kings were thinking when they decided to bury him deep on the bench.

Gerald Wallace, as of press time, leads the league in steals and is among the top ten shot blockers of the NBA this season. Tough break for the Kings, what a steal for the Charlotte Bobcats.

Bodog has the best odds on the latest hoop wars in the NBA. The NBA Playoffs are almost here. Who's your bet to win it all? Bet on Bodog now before it's too late.
