Henderson, whose son currently plays for the Trail Blazers, won a ring with Detroit, as he arrived with them just in time for their 1989-90 championship.

Vinnie Johnson, AKA "The Microwave," was the vital 6th-man for the Pistons. When either Joe Dumars or Isiah Thomas needed a break, Johnson was always ready to step up. He often put up big points in a small number of minutes which provided the Pistons with a much-needed boost. For a short time, Johnson was a radio announcer for the Pistons, but he w...
Rick Mahorn was an enforcer. Nobody wanted to mess with Mahorn. Elbows were always flying when you were around him.

Today, Mahorn is a radio analyst for the P...
