	Detroit Pistons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lead by star forward George Yardley, the Fort Wayne Pistons were a popular franchise and appeared in the NBA Finals in 1954 and 1955, losing both times.
		With their physical, intense style of play, the Pistons gained the nickname "Bad Boys." Coach Chuck Daly took the team to the NBA Finals three consecutive years (1988-90) and won NBA championships in 1989 and 1990 (and it is wildly debated in Detroit that the Pistons should have won in 1988).
		Brown and The Pistons were a good team that eventually turned into a champion with the February 2004 acquisition of Rasheed Wallace from the Atlanta Hawks.
