What could former Detroit NBA 2004 championship winners do when careers end?

With the NBA lockout in place, players could be looking toward the future, especially those who once played in Detroit's Palace. Here are some recommendations and possibilities for the former championship winners to consider.



Ben Wallace may become lawyer for troubled youth while keeping his hair neat for courtroom appearances. Wallace, who once scared players with his mean looks and fierce Afro, was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year four times. After leaving the Pistons, Wallace played for the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers before returning to Detroit.




Rip Hamilton could become a hand and finger model. (What nice nails you have!) Team Captain Hamilton has been with the Pistons since 2002. Mostly playing while wearing a clear mask because of a nose injury, Hamilton could also buy into a Party City franchise!



Already retired Rasheed Wallace may become a disc jockey while he counts his investment income. Wallace was the bad boy for the Pistons, making team winning shots at the buzzer way beyond half court. Wallace holds the NBA record for technical fouls and could possibly escort Bulls players off the court after the lockout is over.



With his degree in social work from UK, Tayshaun Prince could go for his PhD. and later work for the United Nations. Prince could also move back to metro LA and partner up with Snoop Dogg. He already has some experience working in films. Prince could also team up and start a tennis clothing line with the Williams sisters who are also from Compton, Calif.





Chauncey Billups could coach his three daughters to become women's basketball champs or dentists. What a smile you have, Chauncey, as well as a pleasing disposition!


After seven years since their last championship and a lot of hoops, only time will tell.
