That Time Mike Woodson Asked Rasheed Wallace if He Felt Like Playing

The 2012-13 Knicks were quite possibly one of my favorite sports teams to watch ever, in no small part because of their remarkably aged but inexplicably effective bench that included recreational basketball player Rasheed Wallace. The video above more or less perfectly encapsulates why the Mike Woodson-era was ultimately an enjoyable one -- it was nonchalant, playful and remarkably unorthodox.

While his reign with the Knicks may have ended on a sour note, we should not forget that magical time when the Knicks somehow backed their way into a 54-win season with the help of The Giving Sheed, who decided to retire before the playoffs even began.
