Why?

Why?

No real reason for the post. I was just thinking about Pistons history because of getting 64 wins this evening, and my experiences as a fan of this team. I thought about that draft held at the Palace in 1993 and how Lindsey Hunter was the Pistons first lottery pick ever that night. I remember that violent storm stopped my father from taking me to the outside festivities. That stream of consciousness led me to think about his entire career, and I rattled all of that off the top of my head in a post.
