That's one of Laimbeer's go-to dirty moves: when the guy he was covering was up in the air, he'd gauge where they'd land and use some part of his body to make sure they didn't come down on a flat surface as expected. Larry Bird didn't hate Laimbeer because he was tough; he wasn't. Bird hated him because he was a cheap shot artist who literally tried to injure opponents. You'd go up for a rebound and Laimbeer would put his foot where your feet were expecting land, causing ankle injuries.

I wish basketball would go back to this way. So physical, that it would separate the real men from boys. Today's era of players would struggle in the 1990s. No easy buckets, everything is earned!

Say what you want bit Laimbeer was one of the smartest players in nba history! I hated him against my Lakers, but he was a genius

[@WilliamMunnyIII]

Laimbeer roll blocked him in that opening sequence. He put his hands down on the floor in the opposite direction from where he was pushed and cut his legs out from under him. If I were Ewing, I would have caught him later in the game with one of those back-elbows while holding the ball with 2 hands like Karl Malone used to do to people or the atomic forearm that Parish gave him.

I was at a bar (Schnook Inn) in Marco Island Fla. When Lambeer came over to buy drinks for himself and three other people. Lambeer got his drinks he started to walk around the bar.

Laimbeer led the league in altercations, but was open for business, if it escalated to that. Different game,but when Detroit played Boston, in a similar action as this,Robert Parrish opened up a giant can of WA on Laimbeer, throwing and landing some significant B's !! Surely, KZbin has that one in the can.
