Gerald Wallace...FBI

Federal agents usually don't show up at a basketball practice unless something highly illegal is going on or it's in a movie. So it was a surprise when they showed up at a recent Portland Trailblazers practice. I would've understood that about 7 years ago.

They weren't there to investigate anything, they were there to do a bit of recruiting, even though they claim n ot to be hiring right now. They were recruiting Gerald Wallace to become a part of the bureau. Of course after his playing days are over. I don't think Wallace would like the pay cut he would get after banking $10.5 million this season.

Wallace had stated that he would like to be an FBI agent once his playing days are over.

Agents gave him a hat, sweatshirt, and an honorary badge and told him to keep the bureau in mind when his playing days are over.
