Among those in attendance were figures of Pistons’ “Bad Boyz” era—including Isiah Thomas, John Salley, Rick Mahorn and Dennis Rodman.

Present as well were the early 2000’s formidable group of Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince.

The Palace has been home to two championship teams, the “Bad Boyz” squad in 1989 and 1990, and the Billups-led team in 2004. JB
