1 NBA championship + Olympic champion, 4 defense second teams, 82 games in 6 consecutive seasons

Prince, the tough power forward nicknamed "Little Prince", may be the most low-key champion in NBA history. He did not have gorgeous bombings, nor did he stand out for the heroes with high scores, but he was willing to endure hardships and put defense and team first, becoming the silent pillar of the legendary "Five Pistons Tigers" in 2004. From college classes to professional arenas, Prince has always proved with his actions that a real champion does not have to be hustle and bustle.

Prince has a full Kansas academic scholarship. He averaged 13.2 points and 5.7 boards in four years in college, but he always puts his textbooks on the side of the training ground and uses all his spare time to complete his studies. In the 2002 draft, he was picked by the Detroit Pistons with the 23rd pick in the first round - a choice that was questioned by many scouts to be too "nerd" and not tough enough. In those doubts, he fought back again and again: a team training was maliciously knocked down, he helped him up and said "continue" lightly, and then continued to fight; in the Eastern Conference Finals, he chased and dropped the "veteran killer" Reggie Miller, destroying the latter's dream of retirement. After the rookie, Prince quickly won a main position in the 2003-04 season, playing side by side with Charnsey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace and Rashid Wallace as the "Pistols Five Tigers". That season, he averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. In the 2004 finals, Prince quietly contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds in the championship field, helping the Pistons to repel the Lakers four-to-1, ending the OK combination legend of O'Neal and Kobe who "single-durance Dream Team". At that moment, there was not much noise, but he stood up to the top with Billups, Harris and others. He remained in Detroit for the next ten years until the last one of the champions left. Come quietly and go silently, Prince uses his life to interpret: champions are never just data, but also a silent persistence.

In the 14-season journey, Prince has played a total of 1,017 games, and averaged 11.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He once won Olympic gold medals and Copa America championships with the American men's basketball team. Although his professional honors are not as dazzling as those of superstars, he always plays an indispensable "glue role" in the team. Prince did not choose to retire after he announced his retirement in 2016. With his extensive on-field experience and a steady personality, he joined the Memphis Grizzlies and is now the special assistant to the general manager, continuing to write basketball legends in another way.
