George Blaha sat at midcourt with Isiah Thomas on Wednesday night, sharing memories of The Palace and the Pistons’ farewell season before moving to Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit.
Thomas, the greatest Piston. Blaha, the greatest voice. Both greats in their own right.
Blaha will be honored during a halftime ceremony of tonight’s game against the Spurs for his 41 years as a Pistons broadcaster. In many ways, he could be placed on the Pistons’ Mount Rushmore of legends along with Thomas, Dave Bing and Bob Lanier.
Through two team owners, three arenas, three championships, 20 coaches, thousands of games and countless more players, Blaha has been the constant with the Pistons.
