The 1994 season came to an end just like that.
Some people finally reached their peak, some were still just a bit short, and some were about to exit completely.
Such things happen every year in the NBA.
At the end of the season, both core players of the Pistons, Isiah Thomas and Bill Lambier, announced their retirement.
Unlike the sadness the entire league feels when other players retire, Thomas, especially Lambier, made everyone applaud and cheer upon their retirements.
This tyrant of the NBA schedule for ten years, the Dark Prince, the Ax-Wielder, was finally leaving the court.
Some players even used it as an excuse to throw a party at home, inviting friends to celebrate the departure of this jinx.
The summer of 1994 remained exciting, with the biggest trade coming from the Seattle SuperSonics, who suffered a shocking playoff upset and finally lost patience.
