Dude hit 7 of 11 in his Memphis debut which tells you about all you need to know about him as a professional. Nice writing here Dan and a long over due appreciation for Tayshaun Prince.

He is so dedicated to his job. He is skinny but smart. And it's amazing to see him play so many continuous games in regular seasons and postseasons. It's a great article. Thanks you, Dan Feldman.  Thanks Prince for his time in Detroit. He is so dedicated to his job. He is skinny but smart.

I will never, ever forget where I was when Tayshaun Prince became the last in a long line of people to deny Reggie Miller a title all while helping to deliver the Pistons back to their former glory.  Your account of his career literally sent chills through my spine and I cannot wait for the day when his number is raised to the rafters at the Palace so that we can truly venerate him in a way that he deserves.  I'm happy that Joe Dumars did the right thing by re-signing him only to deal him within the same season.  By giving him good guaranteed money to end his career and then dealing him to a contender, he allowed him the chance to end his career in a dignified situation with a dignified paycheck that he's definitely earned in 11 seasons in the league. Prince will be missed and I wish him well.

I still like prince as player and person. He is one of the few players on the piston roster that gave you all he has and was consistent about it. I blame Joe for resigning him after his contract was done. He should have let walk , knowing that this team was in a rebuilding stage and prince is not part of equation.   Thanks Prince for that great block in the playoff. I still remembering watching and being amazed with the block. Thank you prince for some great memories. I still like prince as player and person.

Kudos! I still remember that series against the Magic when we all learned what Tayshaun was all about. So dit McGrady and the rest the NBA. Strangely, even though I wanted Prince out, I know have a bitter taste in my mouth, knowing he won't be starting at the three anymore and I won't see no. 22 sporting the Piston red, white @ blue. Thanks for the awesome ride and great memories, Tay! Respect! Awesome piece, Dan! Kudos!

Good luck Tay, I will root for you in Memphis just like I still root for Chauncey.   I'm sure "22" will one day hang in the Palace rafters, because without you, my man, there is no 04 Championship banner.

Been so surprised and ashamed by how Tayshaun has been vilified by other Detroit media members, why? Because he didn't smile and kowtow to them? Wasn't happy to spew false thoughts after tough losses or even wins? Tayshaun was about first and foremost his team and teammates. Fans of this hardworking, humble state appreciate what he brought to Detroit. God Speed Tayshaun, you truly were a Prince. Finally, someone articulated what I was feeling.
