The Detroit Pistons are back in the national discussion, but not because of they drafted Cade Cunningham. The streaming service Netflix has put on its site a new documentary on one of the more infamous incidents in team history: the ‘Malice at the Palace’
The doc has certainly stirred up old memories. I was asked to be on a 76ers podcast, to discuss it.
For those who don’t know, or were not around back then, this is what happened in a nutshell:
In a November, 2004 game between Detroit and Indiana, with the game well in hand for the Pacers, Ron Artest gave a hard foul to the Pistons’ Ben Wallace, who did not appreciate it.
