The Detroit Pistons are hoping Cade Cunningham can help turn the franchise around, but he also has a bigger mission: Save sports in Detroit.
Detroit was recently named “The Capital of Bad Sports” by the website FiveThirtyEight, who used advanced metrics to draw their conclusion.
Using data from all five major sports (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA), Detroit had three seasons in the top-15, including the worst season according to winning percentage in these sports.
Which seasons you might ask? The last three, which shows just how much Detroit has suffered recently.
