You know those movies where a team of superheroes is gathered together one at a time to ultimately form a power group? That’s essentially what the Detroit Pistons did in the 1980s, if you replace the word ‘superheroes’ with villains. Terry Teagle, who got his NBA start with the Houston Rockets, played through their entire era and lived to tell about it.
The Pistons initially started their “Bad Boys” roster when they drafted Isiah Thomas in 1981, eventually acquiring Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, John Salley, Dennis Rodman and James Edwards by the end of the decade.
