Plenty of NBA players have kept themselves busy this past off-season, and since there is the

Wallace, a defensive master at work

lockout looming over the 2011-2012 season, they have been making sure they are busy. For instance, Andre Iguodala is interning at Merrill-Lynch, one of the many companies that helped in bringing the stock market to where it is today (DOWN). Delonte West brought his talents to a Home Depot in Boston, where he will be working and spending his time until he gets his real job back. As many of us know, many players are playing basketball overseas in countries like Russia, China, Japan, and Italy. Well, Ben Wallace (Chris Broussard voice) had other plans.

Wallace's booking shot

Wallace, who was a force on the defensive side for the Detroit Pistons for many years, was arrested last Saturday at around 3 a.m. on drunk driving and weapons charges. He clocked in at over a .08 BAC level, which is a number believed to be well over the legal limit while operating a vehicle. Police also found an unloaded pistol in a backpack on the passengers seat of his vehicle. Police also found out that Wallace had channeled his inner Plaxico Burress, being that he didn’t have a permit for the gun. We all know Mayor Bloomberg would have Wallace indicted tomorrow since he loves throwing black athletes in jail, but luckily Ben is a Detroit resident. He claims the gun is registered under his wife’s name, and him and a friend left it in the car for protection while they ventured to “Club 21″… the location of this club is not known. The 37 year old Wallace was released on $5,000 bond.

In what could be Ben’s last year of his storied career, he is in the final year of his contract with the Pistons which is worth $2.2 million.
