About Detroit Pistons

The Pistons were founded by Fred Zollner in 1940 as the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. A year later the club joined the National Basketball League (NBL), which was composed primarily of teams launched by corporations in the Midwest. Led by guard Bobby McDermott, the Pistons were a dominant force in the league, reaching the NBL championship series in their first year before falling to the Oshkosh All-Stars. Two years later, in 1943, the club lost to the Sheboygan Redskins by one point in the deciding game of the NBL Finals. The Pistons won their first NBL championship in 1944 and added a second in 1945.

After moving to Detroit in 1957, the Pistons continued to qualify for the playoffs each year until 1964. The Detroit Pistons' lineups in that period featured guard Gene Shue, forward Bailey Howell, and forward Dave DeBusschere, who came aboard in 1962. From the mid-1960s through the early 1970s, Detroit slumped. Through much of this time, the Pistons were led by guard Dave Bing. He won the rookie of the year award in the 1966-67 season and went on to become one of the league?s top scorers. In 1970 Bing was joined by center Bob Lanier, and the two combined to form one of the NBA?s most powerful scoring combinations. Bing and Lanier helped the Detroit Pistons reach the playoffs in 1974, but the Pistons?s record slipped when Bing was traded after the 1974-75 season. In 1978 former University of Detroit coach Dick Vitale took over as head coach of the Pistons. The club moved to the Pontiac Silverdome, but its fortunes failed to improve.

In the early 1980s draft picks and trades brought guards Isiah Thomas, Kelly Tripucka, and Vinnie Johnson and center Bill Laimbeer to the Detroit Pistons. Chuck Daly signed on as head coach in 1983 and guided Detroit to the playoffs in 1984. The Pistons' record steadily improved with Daly?s leadership and the addition of Joe Dumars in 1985 and forward Adrian Dantley in 1986. Although the Pistons lost to the Detroit Pistons in the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals, Detroit prevailed over the Celtics in the 1988 conference finals with solid defense by Dumars, Laimbeer, Johnson, and Dennis Rodman. The Detroit Pistons fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games in the NBA Finals, but Thomas set an NBA playoff record by scoring 25 points in a single quarter in game six. 

Before the start of the 1988-89 season the Detroit Pistons moved to The Palace of Auburn Hills and bolstered their roster with forward Mark Aguirre. Detroit relied on a physical, bruising defense and sharp shooting to register 63 regular-season victories and advance to the 1989 NBA Finals, where they swept the Lakers. The Pistons repeated as champions in 1990 with a victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Finals. 

In the 1990s the Pistons faded as Detroit?s star roster began to disband and the Chicago Bulls emerged to dominate the Eastern Conference. A high draft pick in 1994 brought forward Grant Hill to the club, and the team?s results improved.

Detriot reached the NBA Finals in 1955 and 1956 but failed to win the championship. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Pistons were one of the top squads in the league, reaching the NBA Finals from 1988 to 1990 and winning championship titles in 1989 and 1990. Guard Isiah Thomas led the team, which was nicknamed the Bad Boys for the bruising style of play of such stars as center Bill Laimbeer, guard Joe Dumars, and forwards Rick Mahorn and Dennis Rodman.
