But before getting to this point, the Pistons had to endure long years of mediocrity, wrought by weak rosters, questionable deals, and internal strife.<\/p>\n

An example was a wild fight<\/a> between forwards Corey Maggette and Kyle Singler during the 2012-2013 season, which was recalled by Charlie Villanueva in an episode of \u201cTo The Baha.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShoutout to my man, Corey Maggette. Duke Blue Devil. He knocked Kyle Singer out, bro. They were bumping elbows. He said, \u2018Do that s*** one more time.\u2019 Corey Maggette is a strong motherf*****. Motherf***** is a GI Joe, the action figure. He is an action figure. He said, \u2018Hit me one more time,\u2019 and Kyle did it. Remember, they both went to Duke. Kyle Singler went to sleep,\u201d said Villanueva, who played for the Pistons from 2009 to 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorey Maggette never suited up again after that. That\u2019s Lawrence Frank. Never suited up again. Kicked him off the team and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maggette, who had been traded to the Pistons that season, only played 18 games, averaging 5.3 points in 14.3 minutes. It was his final stint in the NBA.<\/p>\n

The well-built forward played 14 seasons in the league. His best years were with the Los Angeles Clippers, wherein he averaged a career-high 22.2 points in the 2004-2005 season.<\/p>\n

As for Singler, he played for Detroit until 2015. Unfortunately, he has fallen through hard times since his exit from the NBA<\/a> in 2018, as he has struggled with his mental health.<\/p>\n
