Not really...Guys like Magic, Bird, Jordan, and even LeBron made their situations the right place because they were that dominant. Thomas was good, but he was simply a piece to the puzzle. The reality is, guys like Mahorn, Dumars, and even Lambeer where every bit as integral as Thomas was in Chuck Daly's system...
Repeat...
The Pistons won one title with Mahorn as a 7/7 guy.
And another title with Mahorn playing in Philadelphia.
And Rick Mahorn actually saw his time/production fall in the playoffs... averaging fewer minutes and only 6/5.
Riley thinks the Pistons won a title because Mahorn was on the team... AND not on the team?
