Bill Laimbeer Heated Moments - VOL.3: NBA’s Most Evil Villain

[@jlh4jc]

Laimbeer was definitely a physical player who pushed the boundaries. But he was more than an enforcer. He created matchup problems with his shooting range.

[@octaviousmotley7653]

Facts he did

[@richardpare3538]

He more than "pushed the boundaries". His favorite plays were to jamb his elbow into his opponents throat, and put his foot where he thought his opponents foot would land so that he could cause a sprain or broken ankle. He brought this style of play to the Detroit WNBA team when he coached them, The man was not only the dirtiest player ever, he was, and still is, a total asshole.

Can you imagine Draymond Green having to deal with Bill Laimbeer?

[@shanemcmillan4115]

He wouldn't have to. Draymond Green has 163 technicals, 19 flagrant fouls, 17 elections, and suspended 4 times for just how he plays. Bill went over 600 straight games before receiving one one game suspension. The rules were way different. He might still be tough but he wouldn't be able to act like he did without constantly getting suspended.

[@nilelineneil8957]

Laimbeer did all these things and acted that way on purpose to get in the other team's heads and take them out of their game. And he also took all the heat from the fans so that his teammates wouldn't feel any pressure and could go about their business. Laimbeer even stated these things outright and still, lo and behold, everyone fell for it. (and are still falling for it apparently)

[@therightshiftkey9912]

I see you have watched the 30 for 30 then.

[@A1GAZ1]

What’s the difference between him and draymond

[@samuellp1146]

@@A1GAZ1 Laimbeer can shoot better than Draymond (yeah the center can shoot pretty well) and he's better under the basket (rebounds) but Draymond is a better defender. Laimbeer is a master at being a dirty player so Green would be frustrated and retaliate at Laimbeer and get a technical (which is what Laimbeer wants to do).

[@maxpeck4154]

@@therightshiftkey9912 Not necessarily. Some of us Detroiters lived it. We read every newspaper article, saw every interview, watched every game, lived and died with the Pistons - the scrappy team that had no winning tradition and completely upended the NBA while the country was still fellating Magic, Bird, and was trying to make sure 23 was the next star in the NBA. 35 years later everyone is STILL bitching and whining about Laimbeer, but still worship that scumbag Karl Malone. Malone has exactly the number of titles he deserves: ZERO. We didn't need a documentary to tell us what Laimbeer was doing. We lived and breathed it.

[@JonathanWaterbury]

@@samuellp1146 you do t get it either Laimbeer is legitimately a hall fame caliber center look at his stats. These highlights are literally people getting pissed at him. He is so much more skilled then people give him credit for. Draymond is good but he’s no Bill Laimbeer

@@nicholasbrowning4558 that’s funny! That’s the way the game was played back then. Going with your mentality, 80-90 % of the players wouldn’t be playing. Every team had an enforcer back then. Every team tried to show their dominance as soon as the game started.

[@steevinharris4865]

People can say what they want about Laimbeer but I personally think Laimbeer was a good player and tough as nails. He didn't take shit from anybody and he knew how to get under your skin

He and Pistons member did like wrestling or combat sport😅 It wasn't basketball fouls It was New York Nicks about physical basket playing

[@flynt1977]

He was obviously talented to even be in the NBA but that doesn't negate his unsportsmanlike actions like undercutting people and injuring team stars. He had balls and wasn't afraid of a fight but he was still a dirty player. Idk if that's something to embrace

The Bad Boys were MASTERS of mind games. Teams knew they had the physicality to beat you up but rarely ever had to use it because their opponents were so overly amped up.
