The ‘03-’04 Detroit Pistons are the team that all mid to small market teams look at when trying to build a team to win without a true superstar. I’m not going to go all crazy into the stats of this team, but they didn’t even have a 20 ppg scorer. That. Is. Crazy.
The team was comprised of Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Teyshaun Prince, Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, and Mehmet Okur. They beat what some might consider the NBA’s first “super team”, the Karl Malone Lakers.
