Rodman, Edwards, and Mahorn weren’t dirty? I totally respect the Pistons for what they did in the age of super teams, but those 3 plus Laimbeer not only stretched the rules, but they weren’t afraid of getting in foul trouble either because the bench was so deep and all players except Rodman and Mahorn were good foul shooters

And Bill have some accountability too for heaven's sake, u maimed and mangle MJ every night like no other team can compare and is so vocal and proud of it and celebrate after, and u expect the guy to tell his fans and the whole world that ur game is good and ur way is good for the game? come on that's the consequence of ur action u'r accountable for it too, why didn't u play in football or rugby or mma then? And man we know that MJ is far from perfect human being but u are far from an angel too Mr. Isaiah Thomas, don't hide some facts too bec we can see that there is more to this beef than that u are willing to divulge so don't be a sly and play honest saint man this display will only bite u back, ask ur nephew man.

[@Mister_Grey_]

Still the play offs against the Pistons were dope😉

[@lekcindr]

As Salley put it, the Bad Boys are in large part what created the monster that was Michael Jordan. Also the only team to defeat Jordan/Bulls, Bird/Celtics and Magic/Lakers in the same year. As we all know the Celtics and Lakers teams were unbelievably stacked as well. Love them or hate them the Bad Boys are one of the most iconic teams in NBA history. Let's not forget about that phantom foul (which Riley later admitted to) called on Laimbeer in the '88 finals. They should have three straight championships. They were also interesting because while Isiah had the brightest spotlight, they were a very balanced team with any number of players being able to be high scorer on an evening and the scoring distribution was usually fairly dispersed amongst the team. They defined a "team."

[@gankhammer9926]

This bro. Most these dudes on here don’t remember how bad ass that Detroit team was. And agree about the three peat! That team was being dismantled in that third year anyways. Great points!

[@HiNRGboy]

Pistons should've been 3 peat or even 4 peat champs in '87, '88, '89, and '90. By '91 it was over. Isiah hurt his wrist and wasn't the same. '91 was a good team but they were a shell of their selves from the previous 3-4 years. The '87 team was really good too, definitely better than the '91 team. Think about it. The '87 team also had a very good chance at getting to the Finals against the Lakers. If Bird doesn't steal the ball and all that miraculous garbage, Pistons are in the Finals

[@DeCurtaRican]

This is real talk, but it wasn’t just the Bad Boys who helped create MJ. Several factors went into creating that monster: (1) Larry Jordan (2) The hs coach who cut him (3) Dean Smith (R.I.P.) (4) Dr. J, D. Thompson, and W. Davis (5) The Bad Boys (6) Phil Jackson (7) The Celtics (8) The Shaq-Penny Magic (9) The Patrick Ewing Knicks (10) A string of elite defenders, specifically: Sidney Moncrief Dennis Johnson (R.I.P.) Dennis Rodman Gary Payton Iron sharpens iron. Every one of the people listed above helped MJ become what he was, or sharpened him for his second three-peat.

[@jonnyblayze5149]

Bird didnt even play that series and magic got hurt🙄

[@davidmartinez52420]

I have a hard time feeling bad about that phantom foul, not gonna lie. If ever there was a team most deserving of getting screwed by the refs, it was the Bad Boy Pistons. I have a hard time feeling bad for Bill Laimbeer in general. He was a way better player than a lot of people remember, but he'll always be known as a thug. He did it to himself too.

Mark Aguirre is respected in Chicago as well. Grew up there (as did Isaiah) and played on the Depaul (in Chicago) team that lost by two to Bird’s ISU team in the Final Four. His teammate was Gary Garland-Dionne Warwick’s godson and Whitney Houston’s half-brother. Number 1 pick in his draft, and I think Isaiah went behind him, followed by Cartright to the Bulls.

Michael said in TLD "to this day I think he's the 2nd greatest point guard ever. There's magic Johnson, then there's Isiah Thomas... But there's nothing you can say to convince me that he WASN'T an asshole." Michael said in regards to that incident 30 years ago, he felt Isiah was an asshole. Isiah in interviews acting like Mike sat down in 2020 and said" F Isiah Thomas and everything he stands for." lmao ppl want the quick sound bite, but don't actually listen to what was said. Understandably Isiah is hurt over the dream team, but even if Michael didn't say no it him on the team; the NBA new that Mike wasn't going to play with him, in this huge mega experiment like the Dream Team. He didn't need to say no, they said it for him. they also said it for Scottie (who nearly severely injured multiple times by that team). For Magic (who Isiah reportedly hinted got HIV because he was gay). for Larry (the whole Dennis Rodman quote). for Karl Malone (who damn near took Isiah eye out with a bow)... you're trying to build this super team of American talent who at the end of the day is supposed to represent American excellence & ultimate team unity. the same reason he wasn't on the team is the same reason his own coach Chuck Daly didn't select him for the team... There would have but 10x more distractions & division within that team had he been on there. What NBA gonna pick a 30 year old Zeke, and none of those other guys? foh MJ, Magic, Bird, Pip, Malone all didn't want him on the team; Isiah may be bitter about that, but that's what he reaped when he sowed the choice to embrace that "Bad Boy" mentality to win. He ain't got no one to blame but himself... what goes around comes around. the fact he's so bitter about it really comes down to this GOAT debate obsession on Social Media, and seeing MJ pushed even higher into the zenith of Immortality, & most youngins just looking right over his head and putting Steph at #2 PG ever. His legacy will unfairly go down as the snake who tried to hurt MJ to keep winning. but he made his bed a long time ago, can't try n get comfy now Zeke. Is what it is mane, let it go brother.

[@andresdelportillo9917]

Jordan had a big mouth and Detroit had to show him that he could be touched at any point

[@blackjesus6433]

Cap! MJ showed Detroit respect and shook their hands when he lost. MJ has respect for Chuck Daily, Dumars, Rodman, Salley, and Mahorn. Why is that?? Exactly! 🙏🏾

[@TellenJones]

Isiah Thomas threw shades at Jordan during live broadcast on national TV in G6 of 98 finals suggesting Jordan fouled and pushed his defender down before taking that winning shot. Now he says he's always nice to MJ. Not buying it.

[@Maximillian200HP]

Cool to see different opinions from different players of the team that was Jordan's biggest hurdle. Some of these guys you can tell are never going to move on from 35+ Years ago and others can let it go and be honest.

[@user-et4qw2nd7w]

Jordan also threw stones at Isaiah thomas, i love both of them. I just think them 2 could have been the best of friends. Come on guys you can't change the past. But, the future is in both of your hands. You were both great. And made each other greater. Boy i wish lebron could of played, the teams the chicago bulls, and bad boy pistons played, let alone how physical the game was than, he would really be throwing a cry baby fit on the floor with his steroid azz. We would have a better perspective of the goat debate for damn sure.you seen lebron in the raptors game, totally sickening to me tarnished the league in my eyes. Picture lebron having to face the bad boy pistons. Lebron can't face adversity, or that tough of competition . And i don't care about his all time scoring title. Any body who thinks lebron is better than Russell, wilt, kareem, bird , magic, julius irving moses malone, hakeem the dream, let alone kobe bryant and michael jordan. They have got to ignorant of the sport. Or excuse me when i say on crack or something, lebron is only better at traveling, turnovers, and flops. Oh, and falling on the floor and throwing a crybaby tantrum like a chid. Hey media, and stupid brainwashed people there's your goat. I mean hell you got a great players like jokic, luca, giannis etc... and the nba semms to devote its time and money on rigging and fixing games to help this celebrater when losing moron, who should have never been in the goat debate to begin with. The media must think basketball fans are idiots, well ia ain't on your bandwagon. You don't pick my goats i do. I'll take elvin hayes, as far as basketball skill over lebron james, and durability, thats the problem with basketball. They remember more idiots and forget more greats than any oher sport. Well this real fan never forgot you big e. Look him up, his resume will prove him a better ball player, and gret durability, and very, very, very underrated

"We toughed him up" John Salley. He is correct. Then MJ became the GOAT, thanks Bad Boys.

[@TheMightykdogg]

Laimbeer was right regardless of people's views towards him. Jordan along with the media and marketing hype machine, has put him on a pedestal based on his game that is totally different from his real life persona.

Wrong. They had skill or else they'd have been the 90s NY Knicks

[@Zett76]

@@FuShengAlex wrong. They were so hated, every team gave 200% against them. That‘s why their "dynasty" ended pretty quickly. They were the ones that won rings, but never any respect.

[@FuShengAlex]

@@Zett76 None of what you addresses what the OP said about them not being great at skill. If they weren't skilled they'd have always come up short like the Knicks did. They had guys like Isiah, Joe, Vinnie, Mark Aguirre & Adrian Dantley that could make a big shot when needed. Unlike NY who had Ewing and a bunch if bricklayers. Pistons version of Rodman was arguably the most versatile defender in nba history. Of course when someone faces the 80s most winningest team and the 90s most winningest team not to mention the 2nd winningest team in Boston, their window of success is much more narrow than other title teams in NBA history. For such a hated team it's ironic Chicago would later scoop up a trio of their players in one off season.
