They forgot to mention Lindsey Hunter & Mike James & their lock down defense when they came off the bench. When they were on the floor they caused so many shot clock violations. That team has to go down as one of the best defensive teams ever & one of the best at playing team basketball IMO.
Mike James was the scoring spark plug off the bench. He was the only real bench scorer. Nobody else could create their own shot...Lindsey was on the floor for one reason, lockdown defense and imminent frustration for the opposing starter.
@moethelester-un9vk you're trippin.." Big Nasty" Corliss Williamson was a bucket off the bench, he was too quick for power forwards and too strong for small forwards, instant mismatch.... Man I love this team tho!!
@@moethelester-un9vkmike James was a lock down defender off the bench with Lindsey he just was a better scorer ala “the pit bulls” you clearly didn’t watch them forreal forreal!
@@moethelester-un9vk you’re forgetting Corliss Williamson. He was 6th man OTY 2002, he was still doing it in 2004. Mehmet Okur was another guy who could score off the bench.
I loved watching this Piston team, they were my favorite. This era of the NBA was the best, I really miss it. I'm not a fan of the current NBA, nothing exciting or interesting anymore. It's a damn shame.
For real. Ben Wallace should of gotta MVP somewhere in there. Finals or season. Just because how He completely changed the game like 3-4 years. Rarely any 100 point games
The 2004 Pistons CRUSHED the Lakers in that years finals,absolutely spanked that &&&. LOL. Kobe was handled and curved by the Pistons and Prince's defense.Rip Hamilton and Prince crushed Kobe on their offensive end of the game,Kobe couldn't guard/stop either player on offense. I also thought Kobe was tying to win that series MVP trophy,he was throwing up shots by the pound and missing badly. LOL. Kobe complained about Shaq and his then team-mates ( I guess he forgot the 3-CHIPS-they helped him win ) and go to 4 straight title runs too. So,when Shaq and these guys left,Kobe wanted to be traded,what a little &&&&&. LOL.

I've got chills. Best basketball team ever!!!
Hearing that Ben Wallace intro will always bring back such good memories. Not to mention it’s pretty cool
Memo okur was a valuable part of that team as well. He's always overlooked, but was our go to bench player, that could of easily been a starter.
I loved watching this ❤

Fantastic episode!! And a great voiceover !
The 2004 Pistons played like a team possessed against The Lakers, it was a beautiful thing to watch. Some of the best basketball I’ve ever seen played
Joe Dumars deserves so much more credit than he gets
John Mason’s roll call for the team still gives me chills. So iconic.
Here before this channel blows up
Thank you for this documentary, what a fun team to witness. Greatness!
Masterpieces right there
Great video! Well done
The beauty of Detroit champion teams has been because of selflessness, 1 purpose for all players.
This heart and grit has moved to the Detroit Lions since 2023… at the time of this comment
Fear the fro in the no fly zone. When the big ben gong went off, it was time to go to work
Special times for sure
The best defensive team in nba history
I saw the bad boys a lot as a child, the 04 boys were way more fun to watch.
11:50 damn mentioned LeBron waaaaay back then!!

Before the bulls starting crushing the pistons, the pistons was crushing mj and the bulls. 🤔
