The Pistons were the final NBA franchise to play outside of the urban core that they represented. Next season, all NBA teams will play in their home cities -- something no other North American professional league can claim.

And Detroit may not be done, if Gilbert has his way. He's hoping to build a soccer stadium to attract a MLS team to the D some day.
