I love my Pistons. I love Tuss(look it up).

Klay and Steph are a better backcourt. One thing is the sustained excellence. Also Thompson’s ability on offensive abilities relative to Dumars in their respective eras is stark.

Dumars was good. But he was always complimentary player. The 89 Finals he was lights out no doubt. But Dumars was more a steady reliable player. The Pistons couldn’t depend on Dumars to carry the Pistons when say Thomas was out with a hand injury.

Dumars was excellent defensive guard, but the Jordan stopper lore was the help defense. To Dumars credit he understood the rotations and trusted the help to be there…until they were. But thats a whole different issue.
