Rick Mahorn was one of the baddest Bad Boys. His endorsement is certainly meaningful.
For press conferences for Reggie Jackson's $80 million contract and Marcus Morris' trade, both players dubbed retro Detroit Bad Boys hats. From a story by Terry Foster in The Detroit News, Mahorn approves.
"It is more of a following that never left," Mahorn said of players and celebrities wearing the Bay Boys gear. "It is a connection with the past with the present."
Andre Drummond has also gotten on board with the growing trend of embracing the team's Bad Boy legacy, using the hashtag #DetroitBadBoys on an Instagram video of him and Stanley Johnson working out.
