Andre Drummond got a little consideration. So did Greg Monroe. Brandon Jennings probably would have if he didn’t get hurt.

But in the end, not only did no Pistons get voted an All-Star starter, none made it as a reserve.

No Piston has made the All-Star game since Allen Iverson in 2008.

At six years, this is the longest All-Star drought in franchise history. It’s three times as long as the previous longest drought (1980-81)

Heck, these six straight All-Star-less seasons are more than the Pistons totalled before the streak began (1980, 1981, 1994 and 2002).

Hopefully, Drummond or Jennings or someone else breaks the skid in in 2016.
