There’s a bit of twisted irony in the story of Reggie Jackson, the Detroit Piston. When he forced his way out of Oklahoma City in 2015, it was in hopes of shedding his sixth-man label. In 2020, after being bought out by the Detroit Pistons, he’s returning to the Western Conference likely as a sixth man.
In the time in between, he managed to shed the reserve label, but as the Pistons’ starting point guard, he left behind a polarizing legacy as Pistons fans on every platform argued about the viability of their starting point guard.
