		On June 6, 2000, the day six-time All-Star Joe Dumars took over as president of basketball operations for a Pistons organization he had served for 15 years, he made clear what had gone wrong with the team.
		The trouble with the Pistons, according to Joe, was that the organization had lost its flair for the unconventional, the derring-do that led it to draft Dennis Rodman and trade for Mark Aguirre and James Edwards.
		While the Pistons have been written off because of their lack of star power (they're the only team in the playoffs without a maximum-contract player on the roster), the contributions they've gotten from all angles have been the surprise of the postseason--that or their comeback from a 3-1 first-round deficit against the Magic.

		The quiet Joe Dumars didn't exactly fit Detroit's "Bad Boy" image, but on the team he was a perfect fit, regardless.
		Dumars silently put up big numbers and was considered one of the most underrated players in the game until his 1990 selection to the Eastern Conference All-Star team, which is not so unbelievable playing on a team containing egos like Bill Laimbeer's and Rick Mahorn's.
		Upon retirement, the much beloved Dumars was named Pistons' Director of Player Personnel.
