Head coach Chuck Daly, hired in 1983, was the architect of this notorious Pistons era. They also acquired key players like Dennis Rodman, Adrian Dantley, and John Salley. With this new team, the Pistons played a defensive and very physical play style against their rivals. This unique and controversial play style earned them the nickname of “Bad Boys”.

Recently Pistons’ fans revived the famous NBA fable of “Bad Boys” for a game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Pistons disappointingly lost the game as the Nets recorded a 96-90 victory. However, this failed to stop a Pistons fan from pointing out one moment from the game that evoked the “Bad Boys” era of the Pistons.
