Love this story by former NBA referee Danny Crawford. I definitely remember the reports of Rasheed trying to get in to talk to the refs after Game 7 in 2010. I don't blame them for being cautious. Rasheed actually put in some work during that first half. It's a shame he hadn't kept himself in better shape. If the Celtics had held on to win that game, Wallace would be a folk hero in Boston for stepping up in Perk's absence.
