Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs expressed his opinion on the NBA's Detroit Pistons. Gibbs was present at the Little Caesars Arena when Detroit locked horns with the Boston Celtics on Sunday. During their second quarter, one of the broadcast team's courtside reporters spotted Gibbs seated in the audience.
The reporter then questioned Gibbs about his opinion on playing for Detroit in the NFL. The running back expressed how much he loved the city and how his team is willing to give their all this season. Then, the reporter questioned the Lions star about what he thought about the Pistons in comparison to his football team.
"Everybody fights really hard," Gibbs said. "There's no quit in them ... they'll always find a way to come back and keep the score close."
True enough, Detroit is off to an amazing start this season as they notched their second win of the season out of the three games they played so far. With Jayson Tatum missing from the Celtics' squad, Detroit took full advantage and secured their win on Sunday.
