Miss this team. Detroit will be back here soon enough.

Congratulations to the 2004 NBA Champions! Let's go Pistons!

[@johnnycastle2568]

Damn, this is the first time I've seen this. And as a devoted fan of this 2004 Championship Team, I had goosebumps and tears seeing that banner is being raised. Thank you Pistons.

[@andresdelportillo9917]

Underrated 💯

[@tigananovinicola4240]

Those big gold championships belts r dope 🔥

[@erebor4nierdzewny970]

I think this belt was only for this team... bec this team fight on the court like a real wrestlers... First D Later Points about team work Screan after screan... BBBBillups pass to RIP... U open shot when u don't pass to Sheed or Prince... or when u hape space put alley streight to Ben and Ben put this ball like a Strong Slam Dunk!!! or Block... That team was F AMAZING!!!

[@skiptomylou2536]

You don’t see rings done like this.. this meant so much because these players and city worked for this chip they built a team and made it happen, they didn’t buy the team. This is the absolute best championship team of all time. You can’t argue

[@Robc3456]

I was there.🏆🏆🏆

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

George Blaha, the sound of Pistons hoops my entire life! (I'm 36) I know he has had to split Pistons games with another network but *HE* and no other is the voice of the Pistons! Also, he was right about Elden Campbell in the 2004 Finals, Campbell came up huge hitting jumpers and playing great D.

So happy I got to witness this incredible team. I feel sorry for they fans now.

Just a few days from malice in the palace, what a crazy season for them defending champs hugest brawl maybe ever and a Horry 3 miss away from a b2b also idk why but them all wearing that big gold belt was 🔥

Man I would kill to be a fan who got that ring

[@phillyphil5691]

ive been waiting on this for the longest. can u do the pistons highlights when they played the bobcats in the overtime game. the game where tayshaun dunked on Okafor

[@YvngGoat_]

5:47 should’ve been Carmelo Anthony 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@johnjenkins2670]

Wade

[@markjackson6431]

or Bosh

[@rockydelone3042]

No.......it shouldn’t have. They won a championship and created a legacy. Had they not done any of that, then you can say it should’ve been Carmelo. But that banner and those rings say very loudly that it doesn’t fucking matter

[@strahinjastevic7480]

Carmelo woučd have wanted to play from the get-go, he would have ruined the team chemistry. Luckily he made his own team in denver and made the bum ass nuggets relevant.

[@peytonlong5573]

Chris Bosh honestly Melo offensively could’ve helped them later but they’d all be too old by then

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

Ben Wallace is a Hall of Famer, no doubt, put him in their already! He was the only man in the modern game to lead a team to a *WORLD* Championship using his skills on *Defense*! It is a joke they out less accomplished scorers in there and not Ben. For example, I'm sure they'll out Melo in there one day. Now ask yourself, which player contributed more to his team and won as successful in winning titles of getting as close as you can? After all that's what the games about; it's not a fantasy league. And if you need individual accolades Ben has those too as we know. Just a few highlights: 4 time DPOY (tied for most in HISTORY), All NBA 5x, All Defense 6x, All Star 4x. Simply put, basketball is game of offense and defense and he was the best defender of the 2000s and one of the best all time. It is a crime against humanity that he is not a Hall of Famer!

[@kirbyarroyo2118]

wish granted!

[@andreamay437]

That man got some lines

[@edwardrichardson9543]

12 freaking minutes away from a back-to-back bid. If only the pistons could’ve figured out a way to contain manu ginobili in games 1, 2 and 7. 05 Pistons would’ve had the toughest road to a title. Overcoming the Palace Brawl by ending Reggie Miller’s career in Indianapolis, beating Shaq & D-Wade in Game 7 in South Beach and finding a way to escape San Antonio with a win in Games 6 AND 7.

[@tol5516]

that game 5 brah..Fuck Robert Horry played out of his mind and saved their asses that game..Detroit was the best team, they had them

[@artmeddaugh6669]

@@tol5516 It's always a mental mistake that cost the Pistons in a crucial moment. Rasheed left Horry open to double in the corner. Stay home and guard the three, make them make a two, that was dumb! Also in 1987 when Isiah threw the ball towards his own basket and Bird stole it, passed it to DJ for the game winner. Cost them a trip to the Finals that year. And in 1988 when Bill Laimbeer fouled Kareem on a Skyhook attempt with under 30 seconds to play up by 1 point. Kareem sinks both and the Lakers win game 6 by 1 point, despite Isiah's heroics. Two missed NBA Championships for sure and a missed opportunity to get another...Damn!

[@ryumehara]

I think the crucial point in the 4th quarter of Game 7 was when coach Larry put Tayshaun on Duncan because Ben & Sheed were in foul trouble, and Tim really took advantage from that mismatch.. And the melt down of the Pistons started. Larry should have trusted Campbell on that situation, he's a veteran and have played well during their championship runs. And if only Okur have stayed that year they would have an extra big man to hold Duncan..

Biggest Fluke Championship team in NBA history. The 2004 Pistons milk their 1 lucky championship more than the 2008 Celtics

[@ToddleyProductions]

The pistons have 3 rings. 89,90,04. And the 04 team was no fluke 🤣

[@kylereno5383]

Lmfao a fluke?? Now THATS funny. You obviously dont know a damn thing about basketball. Your team obviously must've got their asses handed to em by our boys. 04 Pistons are easily one of the best teams in NBA history. Not to mention they were one quarter away from repeating. A fluke lol, you must not understand the mean of the word.

[@Blkac-pill-Black-Life]

After watching the 2018 wcf im sure the pistons would have beaten the easily pushed over warriors

[@33Chapter]

I don't know man. How do you suppose that would happen? There was the core group of Curry, Thompson & Durrant who were healthy in that year with a coach who succeeded Phil Jackson & maybe Gregg Poppovich. Besides their plan worked because they forced people to do automatics by taking jump-shots and the warriors are a team that's very good at taking jump-shots. How do you think they'll contain that?

[@bedtime1363]

@@33Chapter Tayshaun and Durant, Rip and Klay, would be a great matchup. Ben is like Draymond's dad but a lot stronger. This Pistons team will most likely punish the small ball Warriors and steal all offensive rebounds. Remember they out rebounded Shaq and Karl Lakers
