Ben Wallace was announced as one of the inductees to the Hall of Fame class of 2021. The Detroit Pistons legend was one of the hardest workers the league has ever seen. This is the ultimate honor for such a great (yet overrated) career.
Big Ben was the man of the hour on Sunday afternoon when Adrian Wojnarowski revealed the entire 2021 Hall of Fame candidates list that also includes Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce and Chris Webber.
However, one lady stole the show when she claimed she and Wallace used to ‘have fun’ when they were high schoolers.
“Ben Wallace and myself had fun back in high school,” @ptajennifer tweeted.

This tweet got out of proportion, with plenty of fans wondering what she meant by that, trying to get answers that only Jennifer could give them.

In the end, she realized that her tweet blew and fans needed an explanation for this whole situation. The lady then revealed that they went to prom together ‘among other things,’ which only worsened the situation.
My goodness I didn’t know everyone would be so interested in this
We went to senior prom together…amongst other things 😉
Congratulations on the Hall Of Fame Ben!

She tried to remember an old situation and caught all the attention from NBA Twitter. Of course, it would be terrific if Wallace somehow addresses this during his Hall of Fame speech but that’s highly unlikely.
Still, the streets of Twitter won’t forget, and Jennifer must be happy that she became a pretty significant figure around the community for a couple of hours.
