That music. Ben with the sledgehammer. Horns blaring. Flamethrowers firing. Thundersticks. Mason announcing. "Buh Buh Buh BILLUPS". Big Ben shoulder bumping his way through the gauntlet. The bell tolling. Sheed hyping up the team in the huddle. Literally one of the best intro sequences in all of sports. This stuff made you want to show up early to games, and it gave you goosebumps and made your hair stand up straight with excitement. Not only did the team move on from all of its iconic players, but they lost all of this extra flair. It's no surprise the team has been as bad as it is for so long; here's hoping we'll get back to more of this soon, with Cade leading the way.

I'm not a Pistons fan, but this was one the absolute best intros I've ever seen. The only bad thing about this video is that it cuts away when Ben Wallace swings the sledgehammer and smashes the Lakers' logo at 0:46. I've seen the camera focused when the intros included doing the same thing to the Nets' and Spurs' logos, but all the videos I've seen of the 2004 Finals games in Detroit have always cut away when doing it the Lakers one. Other than that, fantastic. :)

Nahhhh...I think the play would have been Chris Bosh. Larry Brown and Carmelo would have been bad for each other. Melo wouldn’t have developed as a scorer because Larry would have wanted ball movement, and didn’t really want to coach another AI. Melo also wouldn’t have gotten as much PT cause Larry wanted defense down the stretch and hated playing rookies in big spots. Bosh would have fit in better for what they wanted long term.
