5 strongest NBA players ever

#4 Ben Wallace

Pacers v Pistons — Hall of Famer Ben Wallace

At 6'9" he was suited to be a power forward but he played center and was one of the best defenders the game has ever seen. He went on to bag the NBA Defensive Player of the year four times. He was known for his shot blocking and rebounds and is the only player in NBA history to record 1,000 rebounds, 100 blocks, and 100 steals in 4 consecutive seasons (2001–04).

He was a nightmare to opponents with his skills and strength. He holds the franchise record for Detroit Pistons, the team he played for the larger part of his career, with most blocked shots of all-time: 1,486 (2000–2006, 2009–2012). He was the prime figure of Detroit Pistons' campaign in 2004 that saw them win the Championship. His jersey #3 was retired by the Pistons in 2016.
