ESPN: Let’s have 2 ex NBA players whom never played on the Pistons explain their favorite moments of the Palace

[@stuntmastaflex2396]

Yep

[@DetroitCoalition]

6 pro championships, multiple sellout streaks, state championships for basketball and hockey, and the best arena concert venue in the country.

My favorite moment is the Malice at the Palace.

As a detroiter I am truly gonna miss this place went out and took me a piece of rubble gonna tell my kids it's no regular rock and show them bad boys and 04 pistons highlights 🔥🔥 tell them that rock is a piece of that building there in and it's a piece of history

[@advicegiant9433]

As a Pistons fan I Loved that building we won all three world championships there. So many memories I’m glad I went to see games there before they tore it down.

[@gagehorton6110]

Yes, some pistons love!

[@radoslime]

People screaming "Detroit Basketball" on the way out

[@artmeddaugh6669]

The Palace of Auburn Hills was a Great Place for Detroit Pistons Basketball and their fans. My favorite memory is about all the intense playoff games and playoff series that were played at The Palace. Boston, Chicago, Indiana, New Jersey, Miami, Cleveland, Philly, Orlando, Milwaukee, New York, Toronto, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Portland, San Antonio all came in for a visit come playoff time. What a Great Atmosphere in that building! The Energy, The Noise, The Electricity, The Battles, The Fights, The Bad Boys, Grant, The Goin To Work Crew, WOW! What more can you say! All I know is that the majority of the other NBA teams and their buildings haven't seen success like the Pistons and The Palace did from 1989 thru 2017. 40 playoff series played at The Palace with the Pistons winning 26 of those series. 9 Eastern Conference Finals series played at the Palace with the Pistons winning 4 of those series. 4 NBA Finals series played at the Palace, with Detroit winning 3 NBA World Championships as the Pistons swept the Lakers in 1989, beat Portland in 5 in 1990, beat the Lakers in 5 in 2004, and losing in 7 to San Antonio in 2005. A 15-6 overall Finals record while playing games at The Palace. A special thanks to the late owner, Bill Davidson, who built The Palace, and made it one of the best arenas in the NBA for 30 years!

[@bearfarkas1783]

I seen it in crumbles just a few days after it came down, broke my heart

[@dwx7264]

Can't wait for the Pistons to get back to work in Downtown Detroit!

[@ruchpat1]

DW they are so terrible that is the thing. They are a team that is an empty fridge. They have some young bright spots like Kunnard and Bullock and Duyboya and of course a talented Blake and Rose. They need a point guard or center.

[@YS-sz2ti]

Detroit is not an attractive free-agent destination. Star players nowadays more than ever it seems prefer places like LA, Miami, and Bay Area for example.

[@Mark-td6wh]

Looking better already

[@HeathOverledger]

Ron Artest going into the stands + Jermaine O'neal's right hook are highly notable mentions

[@rickflames2760]

I leave in detroit the palace was in auburn hills which is a place in the middle of nowhere, s o they never got there real fans the seating was built different than any other arena to this day it was built to have the crowd right on the court, no matter were u sat , uwas right up on the game, an that made it hard for in coming teams, what a great time, unforgettable

[@Steve_643]

I got to see Jordan play wearing the #45 jersey when he came out of retirement a couple rows back from court side at The Palace of Auburn Hills!!!!

Go Detroit Pistons.

[@lonzobull684]

Why didn’t they ask Billups or GHill to speak on the palace?

[@JoeRyMi]

During that decade of Eastern Conference Finals and Finals year in and year out, that place was popping. I was supposed to go to the Malice at The Palace game. Still can’t believe I missed that chaos. We’ll see if LCA is anything like that when they’re good again, which probably isn’t that far away. Weaver is a basketball Jedi.

[@smittyj383]

I’m just glad the Pistons are actually in Detroit

[@Dfturcott]

Booooo

[@Mark-td6wh]

It's cool just needs time to grow tbh

[@wpl8275]

Sheed leaving Horry open for the 3 kills me today. If not for that the Pistons could have won back to back championships.

My favorite play at the Palace was the one with Ron Artest

[@javianjohnson8746]

And Stephen Jackson and Ben Wallace. Great highlights there

[@kingjd1989]

Detroit in the building

[@Travdust]

Celtics are lucky Billups got injured during game two. He wasn’t the same after he slipped and did the splits, pulling his hamstring. I think while backing down Rondo.

[@J-Hue]

That was the series before against Orlando where he got hurt, but he was just coming back and rusty in that close game 1 loss vs Boston. Still might've been a game changer. He was on a mission that postseason and if they had got game 1 it might've been a different story. Still, Doc our coached Flip that series and Boston was hungrier all around.

[@ChiTownWarrior1]

Malice at the Palace should have been on this list. Really disappointed they left it off. 🤣

[@grunt117]

They would’ve gotten in trouble 😂

Makes me feel old. Watched it being built and opening in 1988 as a freshman in High School. Now watched it demolished. A 35 year old building of that stature was still relatively maintainable if ya ask me. Oh well.

Wild to think about that it’s gone from that to the young core of Cade & the Jalens this fast.

[@PistonsTalk]

Wow I was expecting a real tribute from ESPN. Showing Highlights like Robert Horry I think all Piston fans don't want to revisit that moment, Also having two Celtics talking about their favorite memories beating the Pistons In 2008. You could have at least reached out to Isiah Thomas or Chauncey Billups and have them talk about their favorite memories about the Palace of Auburn Hills this whole video was really disrespectful.
