How good was prime Gerald Wallace really?

Before LaMelo, before Kemba — the Bobcats had Gerald Wallace. Nicknamed Crash for his relentless style, he was one of the league’s most underrated two-way wings in the late 2000s: 2010 All-Star, and the only All-Star in Bobcats history 1st-Team All-Defense in 2010 Averaged 18.2 PPG & 10 RPG in his All-Star season Could guard 1–4, fly for chase-down blocks, and dunk on anyone in transition Carried Charlotte to their first-ever playoff appearance in 2010 He wasn’t a superstar scorer, but his energy, defense, and hustle made him one of the toughest covers of his era. So — where do you rank Gerald Wallace among the most underrated wings of the 2000s? #GeraldWallace #Bobcats #NBAHistory #Underrated #Sports #NBA #BasketballHistory
