Becoming a Pistons fan wasn’t a single moment—it was a series of unforgettable ones that solidified my love for this team. Here are the top three that I still think about today:
- The 2004 NBA Championship Run Beating the Lakers in five games was pure basketball poetry. Watching Chauncey, Rip, Ben, Sheed, and Tayshaun dismantle a star-studded team with fundamentals and hustle was all the proof I needed that team-first basketball could still win titles.
- Tayshaun Prince’s Block on Reggie Miller (2004 Playoffs) This moment is etched in my memory. That chase-down block wasn’t just athleticism—it was heart, timing, and effort. It symbolized everything the Pistons stood for: never giving up on a play, no matter how hopeless it looks.
- Drafting Cade Cunningham #1 Overall in 2021 After years of struggle, this pick felt like a turning point. Cade brought renewed hope and poise to the franchise. It was a sign that Detroit was ready to start writing the next chapter of its storied history.
Whether we’re on top or clawing our way back, the Pistons always give me a reason to believe. Here’s to the next great moment.
