As the seconds ticked down in game five of the NBA Finals, people in
Detroit realized that the improbable was about to become a reality Â-
the Detroit Pistons were going to upset the heavily-favored Los Angeles
Lakers and bring the NBA Championship home to Motown. The 100-87 victory
touched off a wild scene in Detroit as fans partied into the night celebrating
the PistonsÂ' first championship in 14 years and their third title
overall.
The Detroit News commemorates the unlikely championship in the action-packed
book, Detroit Pistons: Champions at Work. Honoring the teamÂ's "blue-collar"
work ethic with stories from the award-winning Detroit News sports staff,
along with full-color Detroit News photos, it is certain to provide fans
with a great way to remember a truly special season. The book also features
profiles of the PistonsÂ' biggest stars, like Finals Most Valuable
Player Chauncey Billups, smooth scoring Richard "Rip" Hamilton, rebounding
machine and defensive force Ben Wallace, and Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown,
the first man to ever win a championship at both the college and pro levels.

Tales
from the Detroit Pistons
by Perry A Farrell
Hardcover from Sports Publishing LLC
ISBN: 1582617783
Availability: Usually ships in 2 to 3 days
The Bad BoysÂ--a collection of incredible basketball talent revered
in Detroit and despised throughout the rest of the National Basketball
Association. They were back-to-back NBA champions and the monkey (or 600-pound
gorilla) that Michael JordanÂ's Chicago Bulls had to get off their
backs before they could assume the NBAÂ's throne. In Rick MahornÂ's
Tales from the Detroit Pistons, the former Bad Boy shares stories that
cover all the key characters, including Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Joe
Dumars, John Salley, Vinny Johnson, Dennis Rodman, and coach Chuck Daly.
Mahorn discusses the wars with the Bulls, Celtics, Knicks, and championship
battles with the Lakers and Blazers. The book also examines the sorry state
of the franchise before the two titles, their attempts to recapture their
NBA magic with Grant Hill and Jerry Stackhouse, and the recent run of success
that Dumars is having as the teamÂ's general manager. MahornÂ's
role as color analyst for PistonsÂ' radio broadcasts has kept him
in the loop as Dumars has added players like Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace,
and Darko Milicic, along with coach Larry Brown, over the past few seasons.
Sharing stories from his playing and announcing days is a part of what
makes Rick MahornÂ's Tales from the Detroit Pistons special. |
