What players from the team who knocked the Detroit Pistons out of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2006 were selected for the 2006 NBA All-Star Game?
2005–06 Detroit Pistons season The 2005–06 Detroit Pistons season was the 65th season of the franchise, the 58th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 49th in the Detroit area. They Pistons began the season hoping to improve upon their 54–28 output from the previous season and have another chance of going to the NBA Finals after losing to the San Antonio Spurs in last season's NBA Finals in seven games. They bested it by ten games, finishing 64–18—their best record in franchise history—and qualifying for the playoffs for the fifth straight season. The Pistons defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in five games in the first round, and the Cleveland Cavaliers in a tough hard fought seven game series to reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the fourth consecutive year before losing to the eventual NBA champions Miami Heat, whom they had beaten in a seven-game playoff series the year before. Detroit's offseason was soon marked by the departure of star defensive player Ben Wallace, who signed a free-agent deal with the Chicago Bulls.
1989–90 Detroit Pistons season The 1989–90 NBA season was the Pistons' 42nd season in the National Basketball Association, and 33rd season in the city of Detroit. As the defending champions, the Pistons had another successful season winning 13 consecutive games around January and February, then posting a 12-game winning streak in March as they finished first place in the Eastern Conference with a 59–23 record. Three members of the team, Isiah Thomas, last year's Finals MVP Joe Dumars, and Dennis Rodman were all selected for the 1990 NBA All-Star Game. Dumars was also selected to the All-NBA Third Team, and Rodman was named Defensive Player of The Year.
