01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

The Detroit Pistons are the city's NBA team in the Eastern Conference. The name is literal: the club began in 1937 as the company team of Fred Zollner's piston foundry in Fort Wayne, Indiana, became one of the NBA's Original Eight, and Zollner himself helped broker the 1949 merger that created the league. The team moved to Detroit in 1957 and has won NBA titles in 1989, 1990 and 2004. Home games are at Little Caesars Arena.
