Guard: Joe Dumars

CAREER: 16.1 points, 4.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds, .9 steals (14 seasons with Pistons)

You can make an argument that nobody has done more for the Pistons than Joe Dumars.

From his workman-like career as a player to his championship success early in his tenure as an executive, Dumars has helped bring Detroit three championships over his time with the organization. Detroit has made it to the NBA Finals five times, and Dumars was involved each time.

Considering how Dumars’ tenure in Detroit ended, that won’t happen anytime soon. Things crumbled as fast as they rose. But there’s no doubting Dumars’ ability as a player. He was one of the few defenders Michael Jordan respected. He was an underrated offensive player, and one of the better shooters of his era.

Dumars was never the superstar, but he was the perfect type of player to win with.

Next: Grant Hill
