Brinson sent me an excellent video last night of Rasheed Wallace doing the “Carlton” dance in a pre-game huddle. You can check out the video at need4sheed.com, a great site for all things ‘Sheed. Watching this video got me thinking and I came to the conclusion that there is no better candidate for a reality show than Rasheed Wallace. Actually, that’s a lie. I got the idea last summer after his tirade leaving the court at the end of the Cavs-Pistons series, but was too lazy to write it up. Unfortunately, the glory days for such a show may have passed us by. The Jail Blazers circa 2001-2002 would have been a smash hit. Can you imagine this wrecking crew rolling around Portland in an Escalade with blunts, blow, and pit bulls? Shawn Kemp of drugs, fatness, and mass impregnation infamy; Ruben “Registered Sex Offender” Patterson; Damon “Can’t Get High” Stoudamire; Qyntel “I was fighting dogs before Ron Mexico got herpes” Woods; and a young Zach Randolph. Those guys would have made Jamaal Tinsley’s crew look like cub scouts. Despite this era past, ‘Sheed could still pull of pretty entertaining reality show. He surely would be down as long as somebody was ready to “Cut the check.” I have no doubt Ra could make ordinary, mundane daily activities wildly entertaining. Can you imagine if somebody effed up his order in the drive through? I’d love to see a 6′11″ man go through the drive through window because some kid forgot ‘Sheed’s extra mayo. I am also very curious to see what Rasheed, the family man, is like, not to mention what his kids are like. How do they handle getting detention? And who knows what happens when he goes out with the boys. That’s it, Brahsome is hereby starting the Official Reali-Sheed Campaign. If any of the Brahs out there have a hook-up with a TV station, let us know.
