If you're a Detroit Pistons fan, there's a reason for it.
It's similar to the reason you're not a Cavs fan, then a Heat fan, then a Cavs fan again. Or a Kobe worshipping Lakers fan. Or a Knicks fan, because after all your mom's great aunt once lived in Albany so you're basically a New Yorker.
You like the underdogs, the team that other teams can't stand, the gritty team that wasn't just handed its success.
