    My favorite team, ever. They should have won at least 3 titles. They got ripped off in '88 by a phantom foul call at the end of game 7. Pistons took out the Bird Celtics, Jordan Bulls and Showtime Lakers in 1 year. Underrated.

      But thanks to Byron Scott’s and Magic Johnson’s injuries, the Pistons got their revenge against the Lakers in the Finals the following year. Breaks go both ways and by the way it was Game 6 of the Finals.

    Isiah’s my all time favorite athlete. I remember watching this as a 12 or 13 yr old kid. I BEGGED my father to rent this from Blockbuster Video back in the late summer or fall of 1989.
    He finally brought it home one Friday night while I was already asleep and I woke up that Saturday morning and saw it sitting on the VCR in the living room the next morning and almost lost control of my bodily functions (I thought I was gonna be headed to the ER at Detroit Children’s Hospital…but I had a video to watch 😎)

      In the 80s the bigs and wings were said to have been inferior to Wilt, a prime Kareem, Willis Reed, and guards like Nate “TIny” Archinold, and Oscar Robertson of the past.
      In the 90s and 00s KG was too young with Iverson and Kobe were disrespectful to the game with Iverson “carryon the ball,” Kobe “hot doggin,” and too much “playground ball.” T-Mac should’ve went to college because he was “crying about zone defense.”

      Bill Laimbeer never committed foul in his life. Just watch his reaction every time the referee whistled him for a foul.
      So in closing he was innocent of any foul he was charged with in over 10 years of play.
      Laimbeer also went over 10 years without ever creating his own shot off the dribble.

    This video brings back so many memories. I was fortunate to see 65 Piston games that season and it was magical. The news was notorious for only showing low-lights, hard fouls and altercations. That's how the Pistons got a bad reputation. Most people didn't get to see the great basketball team that they were. And because of Detroit, you could no longer win an NBA championship, without defense. They changed the game.

    So much slobbering over Jordan, you have to really pay attention to realize it was the Pistons who won the series. And that they were RETURNING to the Finals, not “finally realizing their potential against the Bulls. They wouldn’t lose to the Bulls in the playoffs for two more years, yet the narrative makes it seem like it was the Bulls instead of the Celtics and Lakers who really stood in the way.

Kobe had Shaq. Cade needs Zach. Why don’t y’all understand Detroit Basjetball and Cades and Ivets game. We have a winning young core. We need that Big fella and it’s Zach Edey. Trade Duren for a pick. He’s not a low post threat. Cade can’t just dump it down and he’s got a go to move. Zach Edey has it. Y’all not seeing our team fit its needs. None of these wings you are suggesting we get is gonna help us. Point guard then center. That’s how the Game of basketball is Typically played. Detroit we are gonna be sorry if we don’t pick Edey. Whatever you guys see in a wing coming and helping us win. Y’all are out y’all basketball minds. We may as well trade Cade. I’m a guard and I would love if I had Edey to dump it to. More than throwing it to the French guy for a 3 or the guy from OTE. Can they stop Unis? We need someone they can’t stop Big Zach.

    Nasty team. Dirty. Even they admit it. Isiah was a cheap shot artist. Not only did they try to win, they tried to end players career.

    Pistons wouldn't have won in '89 if it weren't for Magic's injury. But credit where its due they took advantage of a lucky situation.

    Lakers would have three peat if no hamstring injuries to Bryan Scott and magic. Trust me lakers win that series in 5 games in 1989 finals. Remember they swept 3 teams before meeting Detroit pistons

      Or the Lakers would’ve lost in 88 if not for Isaiah’s ankle injury. That seems more likely.

    Mahorn explained what makes 80s and early 90s NBA so much better for slot of older fans. "Defense first"
