... in 2004, the Detroit Pistons and Tayshaun Prince snaked into Los Angeles and stole Game 1 of the 2004 NBA Finals. The Lakers had won three of the past four NBA titles and featured a roster chock full of NBA Hall-of-Famers: Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal & Kobe Bryant. Not many people gave the Pistons a chance in the Series, but a big-time defensive effort shocked the Lakers 87-75. Kentucky great Tayshaun Prince got the assignment of guarding Kobe Bryant. Tayshaun's length, athleticism and craftiness frustrated Bryant each game, giving the Pistons a huge "ace-up-the-sleeve."
