15 years ago today, Tayshaun Prince blocked a shot

Fifteen years ago today, Tayshaun Prince made history. On May 24, 2004 we saw The Block.

For those Pistons fans who are on the younger side, a little context.

It was game 2, and the Pistons were already down 1-0 to their arch-rival Indiana Pacers. In a defensive slugfest, Detroit was clinging to a two-point lead with 24 seconds to go and going down 2-0 seemed like an insurmountable lead.

Chauncey Billups is stripped and Reggie Miller had the ball for a breakaway and bucket that was going to tie the game with about 19 seconds to go.
