Detroit Pistons History
Detroit is one of the oldest NBA franchises. The Pistons were founded as the Fort Wayne Pistons in 1948, and they spent one season in the BAA before joining the NBA. They made a watered-down playoff in each of their first 14 seasons in the NBA, but they only made it to the NBA Finals twice, and they lost in both of those attempts to win a title.
Their most successful period came in the 1980s when they were the Bad Boys of the NBA. Detroit made it to the NBA Finals three straight years, and the Pistons won back-to-back titles in 1989 and 1990. Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Bill Laimbeer played a gritty game that didn’t win them many friends, but it did lead to Detroit sitting on top of the basketball world.
They were also one of the top teams in the NBA during the mid-2000s. Detroit stunned the heavily favored Los Angeles Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals, and the Pistons made it to at least the Eastern Conference Finals for five straight years. There wasn’t a superstar on those teams, just a talented collection of five players who had great chemistry with Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, and Chauncey Billups.
