Haha, I am not comparing them again, MJ was from the era when the Offense was not emphasized and teams were scoring in the 90s and lower 100s. Kobe's era was better in scoring but they also scored in the 100s and 110s. I think they did not stress efficiency back in the past as they do now. When Harden and Curry were in their primes, teams were scoring over 125s.
Ben Wallace... wait no... Rasheed Wallace... um no... Rip Hamilton... no, no... Tayshaun Prince... errrr... Chauncey Billups??? Ooohh... I see what you did there.
Hamilton 3 times All Star, 3 times all NBA and 5 times All Star, Rasheed Wallce 4 times All Star, Ben Wallace 4 times All Star and 5 times NBA all team, Price 4 times NBA second team, Mehmet Okur 1 time All Star
Chauncey was their leader and slightly above everyone but I guess they are pretty similar to each other. Mr. Big Shot Billups.
Trivia Time with heypee: Only one player from the 2004 Pistons is in the HOF (so far). Without looking, who is it?
My first thought was Billups, but the way you wrote this made me question that for some reason. I am going to go with Ben Wallace due to his insane D.
Though I really hope that one, two, or hell all of are youngsters turn out to be NBA studs, I would be completely satisfied if we turned out to be a reboot of that Pistons team. A collection of good (not great players) that played stingy defense and movement based offense. If it led to a championship... I'm with it!
