Wallace said it more than once. Game 6 is set for..." April 30

Chicago Tribune "There were plenty of scowls circling inside the hotel Friday as the battered Nets gathered for a team meeting.

It hadn’t been all..." March 14

New York Post "Gerald Wallace rarely has the best line in the Nets' box score, but a simple look at the stats doesn't do justice to the contribution the hard-working small forward makes on a daily basis.

New York Post "The one bright spot in the Nets' 109-95 lackluster loss to the Hawks last night was the return of Gerald Wallace.

Newark Star-Ledger "Gerald Wallace wouldn't call the Brooklyn Nets roster as it's currently constructed the best team he's ever played on.

New York Post "When Joe Johnson was officially introduced as a Net on Friday, he said they are already the top team in New York.
