At long last, the Detroit Pistons were represented in this season’s NBA All-Star game, seven years after Allen Iverson received what was effectively a career-appreciation All-Star nod as a Piston in the 2008-09 season. That’s right, Andre Drummond received a fully deserved All-Star invite and played very well, scoring 16 points and adding 13 rebounds. Hopefully this signals the beginning of a new era of Piston All-Star appearances.
In the previous era of Piston greatness, it was a common occurrence to see players represent the organization in the All-Star game, with Chauncey Billups appearing in five, Ben Wallace appearing in four, Rasheed Wallace appearing in four and Rip Hamilton making three appearances.
