Detroit Pistons ESPN Marvel Cover This is an explanation they give in an interview For my last question, just as Gary mentioned earlier, each and every NBA fan will be wondering how their team is portrayed in the magazine. And this season, well, for my Detroit Pistons it's not the most exciting year in franchise history. Can you tell me a bit about what I'll be seeing for that team, even if I'm not seeing a win at the start of the season? Belsky: I'm looking at the magazine right now, and I think we have the Pistons finishing maybe 11th in the East. Strong: It's in the lower third, unfortunately, but what you do have is a cool image. Basically what we see is Dr. Doom and Joe Dumars, the Pistons President, kind of collaborating as they look out on an assembly line of Doombots. Axel can probably speak better to the Doombots, but these three are wearing the jerseys of Bill Laimbeer, Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman from the Bad Boys era. They're looking for a little toughness, a little meanness and hence, the Doombots. Alonso: I think that's pretty much it. You see Joe Dumars consulting Doctor Doom, and they're looking to recreate the magic of the two-time NBA Champion Bad Boys era. Again, it was an image that made sense really out the gate. I think it's further proof that teams that were lower in standing didn't get short shrift here. They got Dr. Doom. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=29007
