The Detroit Pistons are part of a much bigger culture that runs through the veins of the city they play in. A lot of big names in basketball started are from the city of Detroit.
Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, and Shane Battier are just a few that come to mind.
One of the more current, up-and-coming players in the league is Josh Jackson.
Jackson’s sponsor, Under Armour, put together an excellent documentary on what basketball means to the city of Detroit and what brand of basketball it promotes.
