Some players never quite make it into the hearts of the fans and Rod Wallace was a prime example. We liked Lee Chapman because he was a semi-arthritic carthorse and we could all identify with that, but Wallace was too mercurial. He mixed brilliance with anonymity, but he was crucial to the 1992 title win and deserves inclusion for that goal against Spurs alone.
