The Detroit Pistons are a historic NBA franchise known for their grit, toughness, and championship pedigree. Founded in 1941 as the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons before moving to Detroit in 1957, the team has won three NBA championships (1989, 1990, and 2004). The “Bad Boys” era of the late 1980s, led by Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Bill Laimbeer, became legendary for their relentless defense and physical play. In 2004, a new generation shocked the league by defeating the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals. Today, the Pistons continue rebuilding, aiming to recapture their former glory.
The current Detroit Pistons are a young, exciting team focused on developing their promising core of talent. Led by 2021 No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham, the roster also features exciting players like Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and Ausar Thompson. While the team has faced issues, their last season was one of their best, finising 44-38 and landing the 6th spot in the East. Under the guidance of head coach J.B Bickerstaff, the Pistons are working to establish a new identity built on energy, defense, and growth, with hopes of another great season.
