For most of his NBA career, Rasheed Wallace was known for two things: He was a problem, and he was going to tell it as it was.
He’s no longer wreaking havoc on the court, but he’s still as blunt and straightforward as always.
That’s why he didn’t hesitate to call out the Boston Celtics for having the ugliest uniforms in the league, at least in his opinion.
In the latest edition of his podcast, the former NBA champion claimed that the Celtics uniforms were basic and were never going to change, and he just didn’t like that green color.
That Celtics green is so ugly, man 😂💯 pic.twitter.com/IQpGNeS83g

Ironically, Wallace actually played for the Celtics in 2010 before retiring and making a brief comeback.
Of course, to each his own, so multiple people might not agree with this rather controversial take.
The Celtics take pride in their tradition, being the winningest team in NBA history and the undisputed best team of the early stages of the league.
They haven’t exactly been a powerhouse in terms of winning championships since the Larry Bird era, only winning two championships since the late 80s, but they’re still one of the most popular teams in all of sports.
Needless to say, these comments are likely to stir the pot and grant him plenty of criticism on social media.
Then again, Rasheed Wallace has always been unapologetic, and he shouldn’t get hate for expressing his opinion.
Clearly, he wasn’t much of a fan of the way he looked in that lone season playing at the TD Garden.
