The Pistons were battling the Lakers for the NBA Championship and we went downtown to snap some pics, then took James to the Dearborn Heights festival for a little summer fun. The Pistons would go on to stun the Los Angeles Lakers in what we call a 5 game sweep (Coby made a miracle 3 pointer in game two to force overtime which the Lakers won). The Lakers were not only considered the best team in the NBA, they were being considered as the best team of all time with hall of famers at every position. The Pistons were heavy underdogs, even Jim Rome flat out stated “Detroit is not going to win this” before the series started.

The Pistons surprised a lot of people this year.
