WALTHAM, Mass.—Rasheed Wallace says he is a Boston Celtic because he feels the team gives him the best chance to win another championship.
The four-time All-Star, who became a free agent after last season with the Detroit Pistons, took a reported three-year contract with the Celtics. Wallace, who won a title with Detroit in 2004, said Thursday that he felt the Celtics were a good fit for him. Boston won the NBA title in 2008.
A day after signing, the 6-foot-11 Wallace sat at his introductory news conference with the team’s Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.
A starter his entire 14-year career, Wallace said he would be content coming off the bench as long as the Celtics won.
