Edition No. 163
Detroit Pistons championship exhibit now open
Relive the championship days of the Detroit Pistons with a new exhibit at the Detroit Historical Society.
Opening last month and on display through June 23, Thirty-Five | 20 celebrates the determination and triumph of the “Detroit Bad Boys” and the “Goin’ to Work” Pistons teams. Separated by 15 years, these two championship squads shared a pleasure in mucking up the league’s pretty offenses, and fans were thrilled by their hustle. This dual anniversary exhibition highlights how each team was assembled and how they developed their signature styles of play.
The exhibit is on the second level in the City of Champions Gallery at the Detroit Historical Society, located at 5401 Woodward Ave. in Detroit.
