01 / The Detroit story
The Detroit story
Stackhouse arrived in Detroit midway through the 1997–98 season in a trade from Philadelphia and quickly became the Pistons' top scoring option. In his second full season, 1999–2000, he averaged 23.6 points a game and, in a late-season win over Chicago, set a Pistons franchise record and led the league that day with 57 points in a single game. His five seasons in Detroit ended with a second-round playoff exit in 2002, after which he moved on to several more NBA teams over a career that stretched to 2013. He kept a foothold in Detroit throughout, and after retiring joined Fox Sports Detroit in 2013 as a Pistons studio and color analyst, reuniting on air with former Pistons teammate Mateen Cleaves before moving into college and NBA coaching.
