John Salley Addresses Pistons Walking Off Court Against Bulls in Playoffs (Part 5)

[@nismokali]

John Salley interviews are the best. He tells some great stories and he keeps it real. I’m an MJ fan but how can you not love the Bad Boy Pistons! They were some of the coldest and most ruthless competitors to ever step on the court.

[@njm844]

I was the biggest MJ fan growing and I hated the Bad Boys because of Bill Lambier and Dennis Rodman. Now I hate MJ more than anything. I only still hate Bill Lambier. Dennis has some mental issues, so I excuse his behavior. He was also an underdog story.

abidamn When have any of the Pistons moaned about how Boston left the floor against them in 1988? They were pissed that Jordan was publicly shit talking their style of play to gain favour with the referees, but they never openly whined about how Boston passed the torch to them in 1988. Never. They’ve merely only pointed out that they’ve been held to a different/double standard. Which they have. If the Last Dance was intended to be a look behind the curtain on the Bulls 1997-98 season, why the fuck does the 1991 Eastern Conference Final and 1992 Olympic team have to be included, except for the purpose of Jordan dragging Isaiah Thomas?

[@darebel1377]

The NBA probably won't find anyone close to MJ. The way MJ did it was thru determination and perseverance. The Bad Boys played a physical style that no other team has had since and they were a great team. The NBA's answer to the "next MJ" is always to make it easier for "their hope/hype". Michael Jordan earned his goat status.

[@kristion9774]

DaRebel Knicks had it. They just weren’t as great offensively or as smart as pistons. Bulls had it too but not with physical fouls just physical defense. Pistons inspired the greatest defensive era from 1988-2004 made the rules get changed to favor perimeter players offensively now we get the nba today.

[@kristion9774]

KnowledgeIsKey Kobe never was close that’s why the nba changed rules after 2003/04 where 1 nba player avg 25 points Mcgrady on 41% FG, Bron was at 41% FG, Kobe was under 45% FG, in the finals he was 38% FG took 22.5 shots to avg 22.6 points that’s trash! Rules got changed that summer now Nash mvp, Kobe mvp, and every other wing when before centers and power forwards won mvp unless your name was Jordan, Magic, Bob Cousy, Dr J and Oscar Robertson! Nba had to help Kobe and Lebron era by banning defenses that were allowed throughout the history of the nba and making scoring easier then Kobe started getting career highs without having Shaq hide him from double teams but couldn’t win shit until he got another center that could score in the low post.

When phil came, he made the bulls played smart, laimbeer was in the paint expecting only jordan to drive in but he didnt expect pippen to be doing it, when he turn his attention to pippen, you have jordan now confusing them, but jordan played like a team player, passing to paxson when he could.

Jaylen said it... John’s saying it.... You have to understand the “Detroit” mentality. The entire “Bad Boys” era, never really ended here... it’s tough. It’s working class. It’s willing everything out of nothing... it’s not a black or white thing, it’s a Detroit Metropolitan thing. It’s a Michigan mindset... So when you’re talking slick like MJ, his sidekick Robin, and the rest of the Bulls backup singers... and it’s in an intense competitive rivalry like we and the folks West across the Lake have... These things happen. Shrugs It’s not just basketball. It’s a rivalry on everything. Again it’s a mindset. Like Jalen said.... there were not that many Jordan fans from where I’m from.

That's that bullshit Tommy Heinsohn told you, huh?!? 😂😂😂

[@Alan-ws1wd]

BS

[@phillipayoung10]

I remember that game and its the truth!!! Anyone agree?

[@yasinbills8468]

You go John. Everybody always bringing this up as so bad

[@IblewuponyourfaceIII]

They walked off for several different reasons, the biggest reasons was because the NBA Commissioner favored Michael Jordan & made sure he won by changing the rules & having the refs favoring him. Isaiah Thomas mentioned the rules changed for Jordan.

[@jojocapone4861]

They walked off cause they were sore fuckin losers. How could y'all blame MJ for something they chose to do? Y'all keep giving these bullshit ass excuses, the shit was weak, period!

[@Headintodreams]

🤔 yeah the same guy who threw/throws his own teammates under the bus about roughing up MJ. The same guy who actually name names of Bill Lambier and Rick Mahorne. Isaiah:"It wasn't me. I didn't do nothing. It was Bill Lambier and Rick Mahorne that would hit MJ. I never hit nobody." Really Isaiah? It's come to this? You throwing your teammates under the bus?

Genius marketing??? It's easy to market superman. What was genius was Michael play on the court.

[@Glenpark36]

True.....Not to be on lebron nuts but he's the greatest "athlete" at marketing

[@Jburneyjr]

It was genius marketing. Or else Wilt, Dr. J, Magic, or Bird would be as popular

[@MrHealthJunkie]

@@Jburneyjr Wilt, Dr. Jay, and Bird didn't play with the Alpha male swag Jordan had. Jordan was like a black Stallion.

[@Jburneyjr]

@@MrHealthJunkie what do you mean all of those guys did. Dr. J used to come into the arena with expensive suits, if you listen to Jordan's interviews that's how Dr. J used to talk to the media. Larry bird talked the most shit outside of Gary Payton in the league. Magic was an ego of his own. And had a mean streak, ultra competitive. All of these guys had that alpha swag. It's just Jordan's agent ans Nike marketed Jordan as such that when he preformed then it validated their claims.

[@MrHealthJunkie]

@@Jburneyjr Everything you mentioned is not swag. Jordan was bigger than Michael Jackson because every man every color and creed wanted to be at his level of Alpha. Why is Mike Tyson treated like a GOD in any country he visits, was that marketing too???

[@robertk2007]

Celtics walked off the court because fans were gonna rush the court. Pistons were at home when they lost

Walking off the court because you finally lose to the team you’ve beaten for years, is in the top 3 weakest nba move of all time!

lol...at the end of the day the pistons chose to walk off regardless of who did it prior ...bulls had nothing to do with what the celtics did but respect to john salley showing sportsmanship

[@breign72]

MJ was marketed so well because he was amazing. He wasn't a beast because endorsements were lined up. Endorsements were lined up BECAUSE he was a beast. Marketing couldn't make Detlef Schrempf a global household name. It sounds like he's trying to slight MJ on the slick without being slick. Lol

Looking back that Celtics did the same thing, I have far less of an issue of the Bad Boys doing it

[@commonsense3921]

The Celtics was told by security to leave the court early because back then the crowds stormed the court.

[@kendostick34]

The pistons walking off the floor is more about the fact that they were the bullies in both scenarios - vs Boston and Chicago So when they beat the Celts, the colts didn’t want to congratulate them because of the bullying Detroit leaving the floor plays into the narrative/reality of them being bullies and the bad guys

[@garygorospe5004]

These interviews kinda reminds me of the charlie murphy stories

[@mikeayia8819]

It don’t matter if the Celtics did the same thing the year before what matters is that once you do something that’s not right , it’s on you for the rest of your life , remember there is no going back in time to fix it you will have to live with it forever so to conclude make sure you do the right thing because there is no time travel

[@Israel-nb7ip]

I'm a Knicks fan and was the biggest Bulls/Jordan hater you could find...but the way the Pistons left that floor was not a good look for them. They got swept, lost on their home floor and walked off like punks...and this is AFTER beating up Jordan/Pippen AND eliminating the Bulls from the playoffs for 4 straight years. Can't walk off the court like that w/out manning up and giving that team their proper respect.

[@teehud313]

That's what we do. We were cool with it.

[@Israel-nb7ip]

@@teehud313 yeah, and that's why ya were hated by everybody. That's punk shit. I'm a Knicks fan from the 90s who loved Oak, Ewing, Mason, X-Man, Starks, etc who were just as physical as the Pistons. But at the end of the day you gotta be a man about it when the other team is better. And I used to love the Bad Boy Pistons too so this ain't hate. Had a poster of Isiah on my wall as a kid.

[@teehud313]

@Mr. Perfect the bulls started talking Sh*t about the pistons players and coaches. We were cool with the walk off! We respected but hated Mike. Pippen was an over emotional scared girl.

[@Israel-nb7ip]

@Mr. Perfect EXACTLY. The Bulls took their lumps and went home and got better. And they got better by developing their young players and Jordan taking that next step in his career, which was his psychological game and his toughness. Same with Pippen to a lesser degree.

[@teehud313]

@@Israel-nb7ip we didn't care. Detroit loved the bad boys. We also loved that Knicks team you just mentioned because that was the closest team to the bad boys. That Knicks team was one of my favorite squads ever!

[@daylanflowers2086]

The argument is the reason the Celtics walks off is safety reason since the Fans could rush the court. Nobody mentioned it.

For the longest time, I thought John Salley and JB Smoove was the same person. They look so much alike.

Yeah but the Celtics didn't walked off the court the same way the Pistons walked off the court against the Bulls. Celtics walked off congratulating the Pistons. Pistons walked off the court because they can't handle defeat at the time.

[@jrome1771]

Celtics did it first...well, after those nasty hits that Bird received that further shortened his prime, he has the right to do it. Detroit walked out... after deliberately trying to injured MJ for years, the least they could do is to man up and congratulate the man for a job well done.

@@Alan-ws1wd so what is your further explanation? Did Detroit played dirty against Boston? Did they play dirty against MJ and the Bulls? If your answer is yes, then my take is not an excuse. If you answer no, you need to get your eyes... and most probably, your sanity checked.
