Sell ​​the team - is practically the only message you can hear lately from the stands of "Little Caesars Arena" when basketball is played there.

A message that doesn't have to come as much of a surprise when you know that the home team Detroit Pistons are playing disastrously this season, and last night they managed to go down in the history of the strongest basketball league in the world. Of course, negative.

The club from Michigan, whose jersey is worn by Cade Cunningham, Bojan Bogdanović, and Jalen Darren, among others, set the NBA record for the number of consecutive losses in one season - as many as 27, after losing to Brooklyn with 112:118.

According to ESPN's research, this streak is the second longest when including the NFL (American football), NHL (ice hockey) and MLB (baseball) leagues along with the NBA.

However, the longest losing streak is held by the Philadelphia Seventy-sixers, but connected from two seasons - during 2014/15. and 2015/16. the Pennsylvania team tied for 28 losses. No one seems to doubt that the Pistons will "break" that record soon.

How bad Detroit is this season is perhaps best told by the fact that only seven other NBA franchises had 20 or more losses in one season.

As of today, Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia fans can rest easy, as their teams are no longer the worst in NBA history.

In the 2010/11 season, right after LeBron James left for Miami, the Cavs lost 26 times in a row, and the same number was tied by the Seventy-Sixers in 2013/14.

Behind them is Charlotte - in the period when that team was called the Bobcats (2011/12), they lost 23 times. In total, this club recorded only seven wins in the league then, which is the worst performance ever.

Vancouver (23/1995) and Denver (96/1997) each recorded 98 failures in one season, while Philadelphia (1972/73), then Dallas (1993/94) and Houston (2020/21) stopped again. on the 20th

How far will Detroit go, which opened the season with almost two wins (Charlotte and Chicago) and a loss? One thing seems certain - the 28th loss is very close, because the Pistons play their next match away from Boston, the best team in the league this season.
