    And we’ve got the t-shirt…

    by Lang Whitaker

    This t-shirt from Reebok showed up today in the mail. The only response I can think of is, But do they really?

      but the question was rhetorical…

    • Myles Brown Posted: Nov.10 at 1:36 pm
      Does that mean New jersey has the Answer to Detroit?

    • Colin Posted: Nov.10 at 1:39 pm
      Maybe the question was, “How can we get payroll flexibility and make a facade of a showing up for the rest of this season?”

      I’d wear it. I don’t think they’ll beat Boston, but I’d wear it.

      Detroit now has The Answer…until they let him go after the season is done….

      If you don’t want it Lang, i’ll gladly take it off your hands.

    • Captain America Posted: Nov.10 at 2:03 pm
      Pistons were outmatched last night. This could turn ugly for Dumars.

    • TADOne Posted: Nov.10 at 2:04 pm
      2 freakin games people. Talk about overreacting.

    • Ken Posted: Nov.10 at 2:05 pm
      Compared to the Obama dunking on McCain T, this one is real underwhelming.

      That Hawks cap you got in the mail 2 weeks ago > This t-shirt

      they have the answer, the question is “how do we get lebron?”

    • Holly MacKenzie Posted: Nov.10 at 2:28 pm
      I love Tad.

    • Bryant Reeves Posted: Nov.10 at 2:38 pm
      Weird that they decided to include the word “now”, isn’t it? Doesn’t that imply that they were not good before he showed up (which is obviously wrong)? Why not just, “Detroit has the Answer”? Or, “The Answer is in Detroit”? Reebok needs to hire some people with English degrees.

      Says Bryant Reeves. isn’t it?

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Nov.10 at 5:57 pm
      They only made it to six straight Eastern Conference Finals and won a championship without him—how did they ever survive?

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Nov.10 at 5:59 pm
      Oh, and a Pistons-related question: Will they retire anyone’s number from that championship squad? I thought either Ben Wallace or Chauncey would be the likeliest, yet they already gave both of their numbers away. I know that doesn’t mean they won’t retire them eventually anyway, but it just seems weird.

    • Lang Whitaker Posted: Nov.10 at 6:05 pm
      We should send one of those shirts to Kwame Kilpatrick.

    • Garrett Posted: Nov.10 at 6:26 pm
      I think Chauncey will get his number retired. Ben……not so much. Although I thought Ben should have gotten the MVP in 2004 instead of Billups.

      let me guess, reebok sells this for at least $25. damn cheap looking shirt too

    • Dre Baldwin Posted: Nov.10 at 6:55 pm
      How can I procure one of these?

    • peteb80 Posted: Nov.10 at 7:47 pm
      I still got one from ‘96 that says “Rookie of the Year?” on the front and “That Question has been Answered” on the back. That’s my favorite t-shirt, ever.

    • Lang Whitaker Posted: Nov.10 at 8:17 pm
      I have a really old one — not sure where/when I got it — of Iverson’s bulldog tattoo, except the shirt is just a huge picture of the bulldog, and the bulldog has all of AI’s tats.

    • Dwyane Posted: Nov.10 at 10:26 pm
      Im waiting for my gunnin dvd and and shirt to come this week. CANT wait !

    • Nashty Posted: Nov.11 at 1:18 am
      AI will get his points and the Pistons will go to the 2nd round at best. I love to watch him play but he doesn’t make his teammates better.

    • Bryant Reeves Posted: Nov.11 at 3:24 pm
      B.Long - you know that “isn’t it” is a contraction of “is it not”, right? Not sure what you’re getting at.

    • Bryant Reeves Posted: Nov.11 at 3:25 pm
      The t-shirt still blows Ben Wallace sized chunks

    • LJ Posted: Nov.12 at 7:05 am
      Is there some competition on the site that I can enter to win this shirt??? I’m a huge Detroit fan.
