From Undrafted to Hall of Famer: The Inspiring Story of Ben Wallace – ‘The Chosen One’

AND1 Entertainment premieres ‘The Chosen One,’ a mini documentary on the story of Ben Wallace and his inspiring journey – from his HBCU experience at Virginia Union to his shot at the league, as told by the legend himself. This year will mark the 20th anniversary of Wallace’s championship victory with the Detroit Pistons in 2004. AND1 recognizes there is no better time to celebrate the first and only undrafted Hall of Famer that donned their shoes during his storied career in the NBA. While Wallace was known for sporting the AND1 Chosen One sneakers on the court, Ben also embodies AND1’s values: raw talent, dedication, and an unmatched work ethic. This powerful combination led the undrafted player to beat the odds by becoming an NBA champion and four-time Defensive Player of the Year.
