It has been quite an emotional week for Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons.  On Saturday he buried his mother who he was very close to, then Sunday he started in his first All-Star game.  Wallace was hoping his mother to be there with him to share the occasion but she didn't want to because of the traffic, now the defensive monster says his mother will get her chance to be with him out there, no matter how hard it will be.

"It's not going to be hard thinking about her because I know I'm going to be thinking about her while I'm out there," Wallace said. "She had said she didn't want to make the trip because of all the traffic. Now she'll get a chance to be there with me. I'm putting all my heart and effort into this game for my mother's sake. She's definitely going to be on my mind."
