How ‘The Camby’ became a staple of Detroit Pistons Twitter
By Eli Bashi
Deciding What is Worthy of the Camby
A question I’m often asked is “Eli, how do you decide what’s worthy to be Camby’d?”
That’s a very good question my friends.
A tweet that’s Camby worthy is an untrue tweet, that directly attacks the Pistons franchise, the Pistons players, or most often, Pistons fans. Most of the time I try to find a verified account that trashes the Pistons and send the army on them to show them what we are capable of.

Some examples of Camby worthy tweets are along the lines of,
“The Pistons still have fans? LOL.”
“Can you even say the Pistons have a fanbase when they don’t even have fans to begin with?”
“The Pistons might be the worst franchise in the NBA right now”
-etc.
Once a tweet like this is seen by me, it’s time to assemble.
If I can tell the person is just a troll, I try not to even waste a Camby on them, because they’re just not worth the effort. But when it is someone being straight up disrespectful because that’s actually how they feel, it’s go time.
This season the Pistons are primed for their best year of the decade, and along the way, Pistons Twitter will encounter many doubters. Just know, I will be there if you need me, because that’s just what a commander would do.

Nothing will ever get in the way of the love that Pistons Twitter has for their team and their city, and if someone does try to get in the way, *insert Camby*.
