Barkley should come back next season to reclaim this record! The Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Rasheed Wallace earned two technical fouls milliseconds apart and an automatic ejection Sunday night, setting an NBA record for technical fouls in a season. Wallace received his 33rd and 34th technical fouls with 10:37 left in the second quarter against the Seattle SuperSonics. That's the most since the league began keeping statistics on technical fouls in 1961. Wallace surpassed the old mark of 32 technicals by Charles Barkley in 1992-93 and 1994-95 with Phoenix, and tied by Dennis Rodman in 1993-94 with San Antonio. Wallace has been ejected six times this season. Wallace was in the low post against Seattle's Vin Baker when he turned and put up a shot that fell short. Teammate Brian Grant grabbed the offensive rebound and was fouled, but Wallace flew into a rage, complaining he was fouled. Wallace got in the face of the nearest official, Joey Crawford, and sparks flew. Wallace began screaming at Crawford and flailing his arms, and Crawford immediately called two technicals in succession, resulting in an automatic ejection. Wallace tried to approach Crawford but was restrained by teammates and an assistant coach. He left the court without further incident. ------------------ ~John~ Is it any coincidence that the Bull is one of only three NBA players with a team named after him? I dont think so!!!!

He might be the new Rodman...but Wallace actually has this thing called talent. ------------------ Cheese might be the greatest food ever invented.
I wonder where Hakeem ranks on the list of techs.....I bet he hasn't compiled in his career what Wallace and Rodman have done in one season!!! Anyone interested in pulling those stats....hard to find I bet. ------------------ HOOP-T Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!
Hoop T Hakeem back when he was Akeem, got his fair share of Technicals. He's never averse to throwing a few punches either. Gotta play with some heart. Now only if he can bring it next year.... ------------------
Yeah, I remember those days. I remember when he bloodied Dennis Johnson's eye in the 86 finals against the Celtics too! Gotta love that! ------------------ HOOP-T Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!
