His 1990s Pistons were THE toughest basketball team I ever saw. Almost every guy on the team was a great individual defender, but they played unbelievable team defense. Great book on Daly and that team is “The Franchise.”

His 1990s Pistons were THE toughest basketball team I ever saw. I agree. But Laimbeer and Thomas could whine like pros also.

He coached the only team that could hold back the Bulls (remember Dumars and the Jordan rules)...at least for a few years. RIP Chuck.

Everybody dies.
You'll be dead before you know it.
Don't your little problems seem ridiculous when you realize you will soon be in a box?
Enjoy your life...pursue your passion...love your family.
Make life count.

Make life count.Honestly, I could not say it better and try to live by that. I think it easy to spot others that live by them rules. They usually aren't in a hurry.

Those Pistons teams of the early 90s could probably defeat the Detroit Lions.
