Cool Best Detroit Piston of All Time?

Okay, who is it?

Bob Lanier
Isiah Thomas
Grant Hill
Dave Bing

If only Isiah were 1/10 a good a coach as he was a player. I give him the slight edge over Lanier. Everybody else?

I got to go with big Bob Lanier on this one. Injuries kept him from reaching his true potential...and he was overshadowed a bit by Jabbar, Wilt and Cowens in the 70's, but you got to love the big man.

I went with Isiah in this one. He cemented his place in Detroit history with that performance in the 1988 finals. If I am right, he is also the leading scorer in Detroit.

Definitely give me Dumars. Far better than the overrated Isaiah, in my opinion. The real glue of those "bad boy" teams.

I would not go as far as to say Isaiah was overrated though...Dumars was like Pippen...great player to have around...but you still need the top dog.

Sorry, man, guess it's personal bias (didn't like the guy), but I honestly believe Dumars > Thomas.
