- Bonus Round: NBL Championships: Before the NBA existed, the Pistons were ballin' out in the National Basketball League (NBL). They actually snagged two NBL championships in 1944 and 1945. So, depending on how you slice it, the Pistons could claim they have a cool five championships total.

- The Bad Boys Take Over: The Pistons of the late 80s and early 90s were legendary for their physical, no-nonsense style. They weren't afraid to get a little chippy (okay, maybe a lot chippy), and it earned them the nickname "The Bad Boys." Those "Bad Boys" championships were something special.
- The Underdog Triumphs: In 2004, the Pistons defied the odds and took down the heavily-favored Los Angeles Lakers, a team stacked with superstars like Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Talk about David vs. Goliath (with better free throws!).
