I miss the old days. The 2004 Pistons were the reason why I started watching basketball as a kid.
yo me too
dxburner222 that summer was so hype when they won it
Same
same
They are 1 of the 1st super teams
Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Wallace , Wallace. (Starting 5)The 2004 Detroit Pistons has got to be one of the greatest teams ever!
Greatest TEAM they All had their roles and p played it to perfection. Based in raw individual talent you couldn't compare them to LA but they could out work and play their roles. Shaq was meant to be too big too strong. Tell that to the two Wallace's!
@@gojustyle shaq was unstoppable. The lakers just couldn't guard the pistons back court. Billups and Rip were too much for Kobe and Gary Payton. As crazy as that sounds, it's the truth.
Agreed, they definitely are one of the greatest 500 teams of all-time
@@alexh8613 You're a top 500 moron of all time.

I'm glad Rasheed got a ring. He deserved it, he was passionate
Definitely
Redemption for 2000 WCF
Yes
@@benjaminbritt7862... And also redemption from getting traded/kicked out by Blazers.
I swear to God Sheed could've been top 5 PF ever if he puts his mind to it. I mean he got everything, great shooting touch, athletic ability, good basketball IQ, a good defender, shot-blocker, damn.
TOP 10 THOUGH
He not top 5?
He IS a top 5 power forward
@@darrylwilson9718 He is an all time great big. Champ
@@parkerxjr Top 10? He is already top 10 without the desire to be the best.. if he applied himself more I think he is the best or atleast on the level of Duncan. A selfish Rasheed who looked for his own more would have been better then KG & Dirk in that era.., He was definitely more complete then both of those guys.
Take me back man! A defensive basketball game still entertains me more than any game where both teams score 120+
Yes, used to get just as excited over a steal or a blocked shot as a basket
Yeah now points are pointless until the final minute. No intensity in todays game
I always loved these style of games because points always felt so much more important and crucial. Down 5 with 3 minutes to go you were on the edge of your seat every shot. Now i exoect anither 20 points between both teams to score.
Rasheed took prime Shaq and Kobe to a game 7 in the WCFs and nearly won that game. He's one of the most underrated PFs in NBA history. Glad he got his ring. He should have 2 or 3 but at least he proved he could beat Shaq and Kobe.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you and give my credit slightly higher to Ben Wallace
+Prince Cyrill they talk about Sheed in the championship documentary and they said he was the key to their championship run. he was the piece they were missing because of his all around play.
***** I know. I probably should've responded to Exequelley instead so it would make more sense. Exequelley said Ben Wallace deserves more credit for Detroit's 04 title. I'm saying in the documentary, they talk about how Sheed coming in is what pushed them to the title ultimately.
***** Detroit was declining by that point. they some older guys on the team. even so, that was the eastern conference finals and they went 53-29 for the year. not exactly something to scoff at.
+MisterBinx he did had a few chances in portland they had a nice squad there
Always loved that the crowd would scream "SHEEEEEEEED" whenever he got the ball.
And AW when he passed it😂
Rasheed was like the bear you didn't want to poke/provoke, he'd get into a zone and was virtually unplayable. He could make that short little jump hook, jumpers from the elbow & FT line or even a 3. Guy was all heart, loved it
Sheed ended the Shaq & Kobe era
That Pistons team blew up the Lakers run.
He also started it 😖
@@InZamasuWeTrust lol
This was such a great team. Legendary chemistry-Championship level play.
i still have nba 04 and 05 in my pc
Offense wasn't that great but that defensive unit staying on the string. Legendary.
@@jareddavidmanifold313 just imagine if they drafted Carmelo Anthony, dynasty
@@MemestiffGaming imagine melo at starting sf the Wallace boys up front to go with rip and Chauncey. Insert tayshaun at the 6th man to go with mcdyess Lindsey Hunter and memo okur , Mike James. That team woulda roasted the spurs in 05 the heat in 06 the Cavs in 07 Boston and the fakers in 08. Of course it woulda meant Larry brown staying on as head coach and team health but that rotation woulda just wore teams out on both ends of the floor. I'm still pissed to this day the way things ended 5 years down the road from the ship in 04 to imploding in 09' after trading away Billups. Dumars letting Ben Wallace go for a measly 13$M in the off-season of 06' was just a bad move compounded by drafting milicic over either wade bosh or Anthony. Chicago's offer sheet to Wallace was 60$M and dumars offer sheet was 47$M. That's what I mean by "measly 13$ million" u get my drift
@jareddavidmanifold313 the offense was really good. They just played a slow pace and the bench didn't skip a beat offensively and mightve been better offense when Mehmet Okur came in as the stretch 5 and stretch 4 with sheed on the floor. Losing Mehemt to free agency is the only reason we didn't 3 peat.
Sheed has always been a problem 4 the Lakers he was fucking them up since his Portland days the difference this time is he had a team that wasn't scared of the Lakers lol someone said prince was the only scrub on the team leave that crack alone Prince was a monster in that series
+Andrew Harper Sheed was always a problem for my Spurs too. Only guy in the league that could consistently guard Tim Duncan really well. I don't think Portland was afraid of the Lakers though, they just hated them so much that if the whistle went badly against them they'd go crazy. Poor Sabonis was like the only dude that never lost his mind on that stacked team. They definitely should have won at least one ring.
+El Loco Sheed doesnt get the credit Duncan and KG get from that era but he could do everything they could, he just wasn't into being the star so his numbers were never as good. He should make the HOF imo. Such a unique talent.
+Andrew Harper Sheed was a problem for everyone. Depending on where his head was at, it could be the opposing teams, or his own.
+Andrew Harper I agree. You could see the fear in Sabonis' eyes everytime Shaq got the ball. Sabonis knew he was going to get an elbow to the face every time. They let Shaq get away with murder back then with the elbows. Nowadays if he was throwing those elbows, it'd be a technical every time.
+The Rose Experience true. i think he holds the record of the most technical fouls
"We can play good basketball without being dirty and throwin' them elbows, but I'll play like that if they want me to." 🤣
Man as a die hard Pistons fan, I always wanted Rasheed to post up more. He was so dominate down low, but it seemed like he'd rather shoot the three ball which annoyed me
Ameen Moqbel He could've been one of the greatest PFs ever with his skill set.
He is
DonKrieg95 I've always said that! Rasheed could play inside and outside. People forget about how great his defense was, especially his interior defense. He definitely had the skills to be 1 of the greatest PF's of all time. And with his height, he was almost impossible to guard.
Ameen Moqbel Lol he was ahead of his time. Modern coaches will kill to get a big that shoots the three like 'Sheed.
That's always been his problem. He woundn't always do what was best for the team (i.e. dominate), and yet people gave excuses for him that he's too unselfish. No, that's another form of selfishness. If he had Duncan's mentality he would have been the greatest PF of all time.
What a time to be alive! I'm from Detroit and I was glued to every game! I was 16 years old when them boys RAN through the Lakers
I felt really happy for Wallace for getting revenge on the Lakers for Portland losing game 7 a few years earlier.
Rasheed and Larry got revenge vs la and Phil for 2000 and 2001...rip billups Ben and prince got revenge for 2003 vs the nets ..revenge tour...elder Campbell and lindsey hunter being former lakers must have helped..they knew what kobe and Shaq and Phil had planned...
Kevin Sullwold.. Yep. U can blame the coach for the lost though also
+bee boo the Pistons were the true champs of 2005. That was nonsense. Asterisk all day. No one gives a fuck about Duncan or Robinson. It was just a money grab for Texas.
@bee boo Wtf ?
bee boo I want An explanation please . I wasn’t watching the finals at 7 years old :(
Instant tears for my guys 😭 the entire NBA feared playing Detroit 04 and 05 boy's....I miss them
RIP Stuart Scott
Sheed could've been the Greatest PF ever.. he was a hybrid of Duncan and Garnett.. also had a 3 point shoot on both hands!
lol K he's a great player an all star but relax
He's the GOAT of shit talking and technical fouls / game ejections for sure. Didn't Ben Wallace take on Artest to start the greatest NBA brawl of all time?
Peter Griffin he was just sometimes too inconsistent. On his best day, he could match any HOF PF.
Don't question his drive, he was just the ultimate team player. Took a back seat offensively to Billups and Hamilton to win.
His post defense and defensive IQ changed games. Shot blocking was solid too.
sheed's post game is nothing but perfection
Rasheed was the most complete power forward I've ever seen. He had Hall of Fame talent
Real basketball the good days
realtalk300 End of one era, beginning of another. Back then the NBA was something to be excited about. Now it just seems to be how many new fans the Warriors and Cavaliers can draw in every year xD
Mr. Jish it's sad that you look at it that way
JLambo I don't, I don't. I was more joking about that, even this season in particular I was extremely excited for opening day and it's been a great season so far. No worries man, I was just making the obvious joke.
Mr. Jish oh okay I wasn't sure because I know a lot of people that see it that way.
JLambo Ye, makes perfect sense dude. Seems to be the go-to mentality nowadays unfortunately.
One of the best Power Forward's ever. Ball Don't Lie Lmbo !!!!
the sad thing is, Wallace could've been a great player but only balled like this when he was pissed off. only person that could stop this dude, was himself!
lol dude had issues... sad to say he let it get the best of him..
His temper and falling in love with the 3 ball did him in.
+HabsFanMTL88 really!?
+SDS Overfiend it's true...dude settled for too many 3's and let his temper get the best of him.
rasheed was a lot like lebron and kg.....very unselfish to a fault...he liked to play more as a team more than take over....he didnt have that killer in his dna...
That year the Lakers were stacked. Payton, Kobe, Karl Malone. Still lost... Sheed was cheated out of a ring with the Blazers though, guess it was karma.
+Wilson Fisk I agree that he was cheated. The refs were rigged back then. They let Shaq throw elbows all over. The NBA from 1999-2003ish was a circus act. They let Shaq run around like a gorilla on the court, and it was a disgrace to the sport. I remember Sabonis taking at least 3 elbows to the grill in one game alone that should have been called offensive fouls.
They were were way their prime
Lol you clearly don't know everybody was trash except kobe and shaq.
Lol stacked payton and karl malone where old and not in there prime
Wilson Fisk
Payton and Malone were hurt and past their prime. The pistons played great team ball and were deep on the bench.
Back when big men could post up face up and shoot all at the same time
2skinny Idk about the shoot. A lot of bigs before like 05 didn't have that jumper
King Ham a lot of them didn't shoot 3s but a large portion had a reliable/deadly midrange game.
Beau Brady The PF spot, yes. Now, if your 4 man can't spread the floor out to the 3pt line its a big disadvantage. Even most Cs now need to shoot the mid, which wasn't the case 15 years ago
Definitely need to be able to space the floor in today's game. If you look at successful teams back in 80s-90s their PF usually had good midrange. Mchale, horice grant, hakeem, kemp, malone. Then it went to dirk, KG, duncan, webber, wallace. Unfortunately now though the post game is fading.
Beau Brady da post games not fading u guys r just stuck in da old days y'all can't see clearly
Wtf floor cam????
lol yeah that shit didn't last long at all I think 03/04 was the only season they had it on certain ABC /ESPN prime time games
+kevinseveneleven Yep, I don't exactly remember when they ditched it, but they had it for the 2002-03 season as well. Kenyon Martin getting the Floor Cam treatment: ua-cam.com/video/-FLYPSM8Omk/v-deo.html
+Nathan K The guys in the editing truck got sick up looking up the shorts of NBA players so that floor cam went away fast.
+sableghost maybe it is in use in wnba
I said the same thing, never even knew those existed.
NBA is all bout revenge lol. Lakers dealt Wallace a devastating blow in 2000 and he returns the favor in 2004
What you mean? What they do!
Guess who played for the 2010 Celtics.
@@nikosvault nba is about revenge 😂 yessss
This team means more to me than any other team ever will 😊
What's sad is that Sheed had the ability to take over games all of the time, but he just didnt care. You had to piss the guy off to get him to play hard.
Truth..He was Not a professional.. he was street baller, unlike Tim Duncan or Karl Malone
Bullshit he was the most passionate player I’ve seen.He played hard.
Lakers never had a chance against that defense
My Lakers wasn’t really together that year a lot of drama!! The Piston were Like running into A Brick wall!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I remember watching sportscenter as a kid when Wallace played for the Trail Blazers.. he'd have a lot of points, a lot of rebounds, and usually a technical foul or 2.
this was such a fun series to watch
who came here after iguodala’s comment?
He was so much fun. I'm glad we got him for the run. And he won a championship with us!!!
They never talk about rasheed cause he was a real one underrated!!!!
Still angry they didn't include him in 2k16. I love the Pistons I wouldnt call myself a fan but I like the franchise and what they have done. I always used them in 2k5 and it's heart breaking that he's not included
in 2k16
+Summer Bllob yeah for some damn reason he's not there
nah bro
+duke maybe he's like Barkley, Kareem etc. not getting enough money or just don't want to be in the game.
+TheKosh123 Kareem is in MyTeam
i feel like rasheed and marcus camby both underachieved in their careers. people forget that in toronto marcus was a beast on both ends of the floor.
Anfernee Williams Camby was DPOY for a reason.
Sheed was better than Camby.
I like Camby but he got dominated in finals. He wasn't elite and he wasn't to Duncan or Sheeds level.
not really a pistons fan, but the 03-04 team is one of my favorite teams to date
Even with the Lakers, that Pistons defense looked suffocating. Best defensive team ever alongside MJ and the Bulls.
+KayJayA7X Definitely one of them. Underrated for sure.
+KayJayA7X
"Best defensive team ever"
Nah....that title goes to the '92 Knicks..
+blackadam06 its ashame how everyone has forgotten about the "Bad Boys" when talking about a defesive team 😂😂
+Mark Quitiquit +KayJayA7X seriously lol, I was gonna say, '04 Pistons were beast (actually they were beast for like 6+ years, I don't think they missed an ECF for like six straight years), but what about The Bad Boys tho??? Those guys shut down every superstar of the late 80s. Bird, Magic, Jordan all got smothered by those guys.
+m3gusta17 i know. thats what im saying 😂😂
if Sheed gaf about being the man,it would've been over for the rest of the league.Son was the total package!
+David Kim word fam he sure did!
I'm sad Rasheed didn't get a ring with the Blazers, but I'm glad he got one beating the Lakers with Detroit. Especially considering how many times the Blazers lost to them.
the lakers woke him up
url0veang3l Portland always went up against LA & lost. Those were the days lol.
Between 97 and 2002 the blazers lost to the Lakers 5x that’s insane when you think about it.
"I told him don't throw those elbows, we can play physical basketball without being dirty and throwing elbows, but I can play that way if they want me to."
-Ball don't lie
Seriously pissed that I can't play with him on the Blazers or Pistons in 2k. What's the point in those teams without SHEED!?
BlueHundred Exactly wtf
BlueHundred and Tayshaun Prince
dude i was thinking just that.. even 4 years later this post is relevant with 2k20 lol smh
95thefish I haven’t even played it and was looking forward to playing with my hometown team and you mean to tell he’s still not on the team 🤦🏾♂️
Any player that is not in the game is because they don’t for whatever reason. Barry Bonds and Barry Sanders come to mind from other sports games.
Nice clip!
Miss those days!
This is the Pistons team that can take out today’s GSW team for sure without a doubt
Knathan Knathan Yeah 04 pistons wouldve got em
Knathan Knathan it’s still a tough call. Can’t really compare
I wouldn't say without a doubt but they were the perfect foil to the Warriors. A great, versatile defensive team; could kill the Warriors on the offensive back board; Tayshaun would've been perfect defender to slow down KD; the Wallaces could both move their feet and switch onto smaller players. Would be a fascinating matchup.
In 2004 maybe, in 2018 not a chance. That question will remain unanswered.
Depends on the league rules
Kobe was launching shots all throughout that series smh
shot em out of it. thought he was better than shaq lolol
Steven Brazzell Kobe has always thrown up that bullshit
Leirrie Valentin not in the finals when shaq was on his team
Steven Brazzell 👍 lost a $1000 fuckin with this series kobe was on bull shit
Greg Hubbard fuc you and all yo dead loved ones bitch
Thanks for this.
one of the more underrated pf of all time good upload
at the first whistle of this video 2 techs wouldve been called in 2017
Sheed had the talent of an perennial all-star player and the mindset of a roleplayer.
Mindset of a mental patient
Finally, someone gets it.
Da1shocker ball don't lie! Idk man, Sheed was one of the best 2-way big men ever and he could stretch the floor. I guess he could have asserted himself more and been "the guy" but those Pistons teams were so focused on team ball that it didn't make sense to have a go-to guy, especially when you had Chauncey Billups one of the most put together, composed, clutch PGs ever.
And only gave a shit about himself while he played for Portland and kept them from winning titles
Wallace ran the floor like a GOD damned deer. One of my all time favorite players. And the way he went over both shoulders? My god
Wallace had the talent and the body to be a GOAT of his position. He just didnt have the mentality for it.
@@TheH3dgie I don't know if I would say he didn't have the mentality as he was tough as he'll, I'd say he didn't have the focus. I'm mincing words though and get yoiur point for sure.
@@drewfleming5584 he was tough, but he didnt want to be the man. He didnt want to be great.
Would have taken him on my team any day..until his twilight years when he became too 3pt happy
@@TheH3dgie don't forget that he was an all time great post defender ever too! He could guard both 4s and 5s incredibly well!
You had to be here!!! It was nothing like watching the Pistons in this era, truly an amazing time to watch basketball.
Shhhheeeeeedddd! I can't even name one of today's players that can catch the ball with their back to the basket on the low block and score.. It's a lost art..SMDH..
Lmao halfway in the 3rd neither team above 50 yet I fucking miss these days, I remember back in the 04 pacer series every game averaged like 73 points
Man... Billups, prince, r/b Wallace, this was the golden age of Detroit basketball. This team was so fun to watch, I was real young but I still remember staying up past bedtime to watch these playoff games..
Glad this was in my reccomend feed, he wanted this bad, so cool . One of my favorite teams. Great line up.
I remember these days lol the golden age where everyone played they position
He'd get a technical and ejection for just talking nowadays
but the players bitch more than ever and get away with it. two seasons ago I'd agree with you but the refs are letting too much go now
Wallace the only player I can remember that rocked Air Force 1’s on Court
Great memories thank you
“I’ll play like that if that’s what they want me to” 😂😂😂🙌🏽🐐
Man! I miss Stuart Scott and now Craig Sager :( Its all up to you David Aldrigde
Mizuko Temuri lol David Aldridge.
My favorite basketball player of all time one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of sneakers learned so much watching the way he moved around
Man watching sheed gave me goose bumps I remember watching this whole series as a kid favorite piston of all time 💪🏾
im a spurs fan and i remember the 05 finals,but this team was good for like 5 years ina row they should have won at least 3 titles with that group but easier said than done
if we would've drafted Carmelo instead of the biggest European bust ever, 3peat
+anton riley-burton Then they would've been cheating..
+SDS Overfiend how? drafting a good guy that would develop into a superstar?
anton riley-burton It's a joke.. Meaning they would've been really good
+SDS Overfiend oh my bad.
ive been a pistons fan since i was 9 years old. sheed was my favorite player growing up when he was in portland. i dont think theres too many people in the world that ever had the experience of having your favorite player being traded to your favorite team and then seeing them win a championship. there will never be another team like that 04 squad. memphis tried but there was no comparison.
Sheed! Such an integral part to the pistons 2004 championship this was a pivotal game and he just took over. I love the balance of that team.
That was a solid response in his interview at the end. Good job, sir.
The first NBA Finals iv'e watch, i remember my cousin saying that 04 LA would win it and i take sides with Pistons knowing nothing about basketball.
I had the last laugh.
Damn I miss this team. This was real Detroit Basketball, lockdown D and every player knowing they role. Not the bullshit we have now.
nba 2004 .. still play it 😓💝
well, here comes another sunday of watching NBA vids...
life is good
I remember this I was the only one in the house going with Detroit
Shaq was so unbiased in that confrontation🤣
Man classic series
"I can play that way if they want me to!"
One of the best lines ever!! I'm gonna start using that...
my boi sheed favourite finals all time
Man I am Detroit Pistons fan I miss the old “Bad Boys” I remember watching this game while working at a hotel haha
That Pistons team was so deep and they were all good defenders. I want to see an NBA team built like this again.
49-49 with 5:37 left in the 3rd quarter. Five game series, highest scoring game by either team was 100, which happened exactly once in the series. I do not miss that era of NBA basketball
I do
If you would've brought in some scrub European before every game to talk trash Rasheed and slap him upside the face, he would've been the greatest PF ever. That man went OFF when you got him upset.
Ain't that the truth. He got hot as a pistol
3 points: 1. Wallace should have been finals mvp. 2. the pistons could have drafted melo to add to this team. 3. the following year spurs vs pistons was one of the best all time finals. either team could have won.
dlawson688 Wallace didn't really explode until Game 4. (Don't get me wrong, Pistons definitely needed him to play stretch 4). Chauncey consistently produced on offense to help Pistons close out the games. Big Ben locked up the interior (and contributed enough enough on offense with his 15 ft mid-range jumper).
1. Rasheed scored 3 points the game before
2. No, it wasn't
legendary series
I remember watching the Detroit Pistons dominate the series as a 14 year old Lakers fan. One distinct memory was Ben Wallace's rebound domination. Anyhow, I became a big fan of Chauncey Billips and Rasheed Wallace after their championship run.
He was supposed to be the finals MVP. He was a constant mismatch for anyone on the floor
BALL DON'T LIE
I m a t wolves fan but man, I do miss these Pistons team. At the time I was starting to fall in love with basketball and this s s definitely one of my favorite teams of all time
Good interview honest guy
I love and miss 90's early 2000's basketball. It hasn't been the same since 2010
Who is here after Iggy said something?
Boy do I miss this basketball
Sheed could've been one of the greats but still had a excellent career. His post game is what i remember the most and his on a rope 3 pointers
1:31 Serge Ibaka anyone?
Got that belt Sheed! Beat L.A.!
For those who wondered, Kobe Bryant actually had 2 assists in this game.
A sizzling 20 pts out of ONLY 25 shots.
+jermaineonealnumber7 so what Lakers got payback on him in 2010
***** next Decade
+David Kim Lakers can't pay them back if the pistons can't make it to the finals. Pistons last finals appearance was 2005, but they were close to facing the lakers in 2008 when they made it to the ECF, and when the lakers made it to the finals in 2009 and 2010 the pistons already broke up their team.
My favorite all time team. Well structured great basketball 04 pistons
his attitude along is why he is one of my favorite of all time he remind me of myself
Sheeeeed
This was one of my favorite years for NBA basketball, and very soon after stopped watching altogether. When the Pistons got totally and obviously screwed against the Celtics, I was done. It was clear that the league didn't want the Pistons dominating anymore. There were so many blatant bad calls in that series, I had friends/fans of various other teams calling me to tell me the Pistons got screwed.
I started telling people the league was crooked, and was told I was just a conspiracy theorist. But of course we all know now that an NBA ref admitted the league dictates outcomes. He was fixing games. A handful of officials got busted for gambling. And Michael Francese, famous mobster, admitted to having the NBA under Mafia control.
The Pistons had a couple more championships in them. But the league didn't want that market to dominate.
one of the Lakers stolen titles was against you guys in 89 or whatever
Love watching this team 💪
Shout to Ryan on positing this video. Sheed was definitely underrated as player. He was unique in that he could post-up, stretch the floor, athletic and play tremendous defense. Who in this era reminds you of Sheed?
