NBA Champ in the building! This week we got a Detroit staple, as Tayshaun Prince joins Knuckleheads. One of L.A.’s finest, Tayshaun discusses his road from Compton to Kentucky and eventually to Detroit. He looks back on his early years in the league, why the ‘04 Pistons clicked, and describes just how close those Detroit teams were. He talks about the impact of trading for Rasheed Wallace and why they knew they’d beat the Lakers in that classic series. Tayshaun was one of the league's toughest defenders during his reign.
