Everybody remembers the “Goin to Work” Pistons team that hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy, but as we enjoy this Labor Day we wanted to reminisce: who are/were the hardest-working Pistons of all-time? The aforementioned “Goin to Work” and “Bad Boy” eras has a litany of options, but what about narrowing those teams down even further?…
