T-shirt #65: Dead T-shirt #2: Detroit PistonsI am taking a bit of break from the blog for the holiday weekend, and so I am using this break to post three "dead" T-shirts, further developing what I wrote in T-shirt #44: "What happens when a T-shirt dies?"
The next three posts (including today's) will feature the fates of three T-shirts that died and were retired to rags after serving for a time as pajamas.
Today's Detroit Pistons shirt may have come as a free giveaway at the Palace, or I may have bought it. I am not sure how I came by it.
I do want to add a graphic and a point that I did not make back when I discussed the Detroit Pistons with T-shirt #29.
In the back-to-back championship run the Pistons enjoyed in 1989-1990 (The Bad Boys era), Joe Dumars stymied Michael Jordan. He shut him down. In one game, I believe Joe Dumars held Jordan to a career low (to that stage of his career) in points.
Joe Dumars is my favorite basketball player of all time.
But this T-shirt is dead. It's a rag. It mopped an oil spill last year.
