Piston Comedy
The Pistons weren't feeling too good after Sunday's loss.
Beforehand, though, they were having a blast.
"This team right here, these dudes are the craziest you ever gonna see," Lindsey Hunter said.
I'll try to do this justice.
Ninety minutes before the game, Rasheed Wallace reached into the locker of backup guard Carlos Delfino, and pulled out a white coat, pink linen pants and brown shoes. Wallace then wrote "Miami Vice-like" on the greaseboard, pointing to the outfit, which was lined up on a chair (and in the shoes case, under it) as if a person was wearing it. Players took turns cackling and taking photos on their cameraphones. But Wallace wasn't done. He was given a printout of Delfino's face, and put that above the jacket. Then he got a pack of Marlboros and put it in the jacket's front packet, while putting a Marlboro itself through the cutout photo, as it if were in Delfino's mouth. Then a Pistons staffer wrapped toilet paper around the jacket, as if it were a scarf. Finally, Rasheed secured some sunglasses, and wrapped them around the photo.
"Man, it don't never stop around here," Ben Wallace said.
Rasheed was so proud of his creation that he howled and clapped while rocking back and forth.
"Why everybody saying me?" he asked.
Everybody was hysterical with laughter, including GM Joe Dumars.
Guess you had to be there. It was funny, even if we had to leave before we could witness Delfino's reaction. It shows how close the team is, with one of the stars having some fun at the expense of a reserve.
Does winning create that kind of chemistry?
Or does the chemistry create the winning?
I think it's both. Your view?
