Sheed: ‘I Ain’t Changing Nothing for Nobody’

Doc Rivers can try all the anger management he wants, but Rasheed ain’t changing a thing. He truly is the best: “Wallace said he will not alter his game to try to prevent being called for technical fouls. In fact, he was not happy with how close referee Bill Kennedy stood near the Celtics bench during timeouts. Wallace was ejected by Kennedy during a timeout in the second quarter. ‘If they’re standing right near our huddle trying to stick their ear or nose in there, then yeah, they’re going to hear some stuff,’ he said. ‘That’s exactly what it was. When have you ever seen somebody – a ref – standing over there that close to our bench during a timeout. You already know what it is. I ain’t tripping.’ Wallace later added, ‘I’ll still play my game. I’ll still be me. I ain’t changing my game for nobody. I ain’t changing nothing for nobody.”’

    That’s not grammatically correct…I wonder if he’ll change that…

  • Taisen

    i hope Sheed wil write a book one day once he retires.

  • Taisen

    will

  • Taisen

    will…sorry

    double-negative.He is saying he will change. Sell-out

    The double negative reminds me of George Michael from Arrested Development.

  • Fat Lever

    I thought this was in reference to Doc trying to get him on the block more instead of jacking 3′s.

  • Elias

    Sheed should take Stern’s place as the commissioner of the NBA.

    The funny thing is Sheed is actually very smart.

  • Tommy Patron

    Bill Kennedy is lousy. Freakin’ muscle ref.

  • Noel

    @grammar lovers, that is standard usage of a double negative in many English dialects including Southern American English and African American Vernacular English AKA Ebonics.

  • LA Huey

    @Noel, we understand that. We have higher standards. Especially for ‘Sheed because he’s actually an intelligent guy. I wouldn’t bother to point that out on Derrick Rose.

    Is sheed trying to accuse the ref of something when he says “When have you ever seen somebody – a ref – standing over there that close to our bench during a timeout. You already know what it is.”? Seems like he’s somewhat co-signing Donaghy. hmmm…

  • Ghost (Of Xavier McDaniel)

    There will be such a void the day he retires..

  • Noel

    I just wanted to point out that his grammar is a product of dialect and not level of intelligence, and that he is clearly saying what he means. Personally I find this way of saying it more pleasing to the ears than, “I won’t change anything for anybody”

    Tad: Mind… elaborating?

    TADOne: thanks for the info, and to think I almost paid for espn insider.

    Roscoe never fails to be true to himself. After all the good and bad he went through since being in the league, lets not forget he got a ring in Detroit.

    I think he has a legitimate beef here. With as much controversy surrounding the refs as there is, I definitely wouldn’t want them listening in on my huddle.

  • ka

    sheed aint scared o yall

    “The NBA – Where Referees Trolling For Technicals Happens”

  • fut.

    I think all the grammar nuts in the house missed the fact it is a triple-negative. Just saying.

  • http://twitter.com/wealwayswin Hersey

    NBA refs are terrible.

  • http://www.hibachi20.blogspot.com BETCATS

    I love this man for saying things like this.

  • The D Train

    I’ve got crazy love for ‘Sheed. Favorite ‘Sheed’ism of all time: after him and Mighty Mouse got pulled over in a bright yellow hummer heading down I-5 after playing the Sonics, he responded to the officers question about weed by saying, “Nope. We smoked it all up.” Although it’ll never happen, I’d love to see him in a Barkley-like role. ‘Sheed is straight candid, and he’d be a blast with GP, Webber and those cats.

  • JoeMaMa

    D Train, he’d be no good. He’s too raw for regular TV; he’s a wilder Barkley. It’d only work if the NBA had a post game on HBO. And I’ll sign up for that in a second.

  • ron

    sheed just never change.
    what got him into such mess? did he ever step on stern’s toe or something?

  • http://slamonline.com Dave

    I LOLed at rainman10.

  • http://www.mynameinblue.blogspot.com Hisham

    If you really look at it, it’s a triple negative, which amounts to, guess what, a negative! Rasheed Wallace is smarter than all of you.

  • LA Huey

    I stand corrected (although “ain’t” ain’t no kinda word…)

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Obviously Ken doesn’t know the word ‘ebonics.’

  • robb

    Not even your adult diapers sheed?

  • chintao

    Gotta’ love ‘Sheed. He puts his ankles in it every night!

  • BostonBaller

    Wallace is 100% correct. Why is a ref han=ging around the huddle listening with sensitive ears. How do you hit someone with a T during a huddle unless they are “jaw’n” with the ref? I can’t wait until KG gets a T during his pregame pyscho antics . How would they explain the T before the tip off?
