Re: Name your all time favorite piston

I almost started a thread like this several times over the last year. I'm glad you did. The reason I didn't was because it's a tough choice for me.

Thomas, Rodman, Long, Laimbeer and Lanier are my 5 top.

I guess I have to go with Laimbeer as my favorite because he was such a character and a Bad Boy. Not many Centers can shoot like him. I still love watching the old clips of his tussles.

But Zeke is a close second. He put the team on the map and brought the franchise respect.

Chucky Nevitt. LOL

The most beloved bench warmer to ever put on a Piston uniform. Even more popular than Darko?

Re: Name your all time favorite piston

I'll go with Laimbeer, since he just seemes to frustrate his opponents. Also include Isiah and Vinny in my top three.

Re: Name your all time favorite piston

I like so many current and former Pistons, but the one who stands higher than the rest is Isiah.

The man was incredible. His heart, his toughness, his playmaking ability.

There has never been a Piston like him since he retired.

Re: Name your all time favorite piston

Rickiam Laimabeerhorn was pretty good.

Josiah Dumas too.

It's too hard to just pick one.

That is why I picked Chucky baby. You had to love "Nevitt Time". I also had the pleasure of seeing him warm the bench in Inglewood at the Forum.

Chuck Nevitt (born June 13, 1959 in Cortez, Colorado) is an American former professional basketball player, known primarily for his great height. At 7 foot, 5 inches, he played the center position throughout his nine-year career (1983, 1985-1990, 1992, 1994) in the NBA, and remains one of the tallest players ever in NBA history. During his career, he played with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.


While with the Detroit Pistons in the 1987-88 season, the 7 foot, 5 inch center became a fan favorite because his gangly presence on the court signified that a Piston victory was well in hand. These last minutes of a Detroit blow-out were called Nevitt Time by fans and announcers.

Re: Name your all time favorite piston

Earl Cureton definintely. Nobody could abuse a backboard like 'ol Earl.

Actually, Isiah is the guy that occupies most of my good Pistons memories. My earliest is when he blocked Sidney Moncrief at the end of a regular-season game to ensure a victory. I remember it because I said to myself, "Wow, this team is starting to play some D!" And the rest is history.

Re: Name your all time favorite piston

Gotta name more than one, but my favorite all-time Piston is Dennis "The Worm" Rodman. I fell in love with him when he was a rookie. I remember watching him play and thinking what an unpolished gem that rookie is with those funny ears of his. He played the game with such passion and ferocity that he truly broke the mold. I do believe he was the player that started the trend toward tattoos (but I could be wrong on this one). I always loved Zeke for his heart of a lion and incredible drive but Rodman still remains my favorite. After Rodman I stopped following the Pistons for awhile until they started putting together their next dynasty. Carlos Delfino was my favorite Piston player until he was traded to the Dino team over there in Toronto. I always have a thing for bench players that break out into stardom. This year I'm going to root for Maxiell and Amir to take it to the next level.
