Exactly. That's how the league played and it didn't start with the Pistons. We could run with finesse teams too (like the Showtime Lakers).

So Sharpe's narrative is that Jordan is beyond being Coached and since Phil was actually coaching that's a knock against Jordan. What kind of stupid shit is that and why are so many muthafuckas buying into it?

Zeke still crying in that car 3 decades laterInjuries and expansion took starters from the squad. Teams lose... they had a hell of a run and beat teams better than the Bulls ever beat in the Finals.
Team was on the tail end of its run but we booted the Bulls out of the playoffs 3 straight years.. during our Prime, we washed the bulls
They actually said it in the documentary. Once they realized they couldn’t bully Pippen anymore they knew it was over. Bulls were on another level at that point.
I believe people were probably saying they understood why the Celtics did it because of how physical/dirty the Pistons were playing. The Pistons said they used to knock people out of the air and hack them, they even showed video of the Pistons and Celtics getting into fights after hacking Bird, McHale, and I think Robert Parrish broke Laimbeers nose in a fight too. There was real bad blood between them so people saw that different
Nah if you‘ve been watching the show, for years Skip has been the one who has been saying MJ was beyond being coached and that when MJ made those passes to Paxson and Kerr MJ was the one that drew the play up, claiming he covered every game for the Bulls back then so he knew With this documentary showing video of Phil telling MJ to find the open man and get his teammates involved Shannon was proving Skip had been lying all these years. There was another clip were Skip was talking about MJ being the MVP for like 4 different things in the NBA that year and Shannon said he was the MVP in all those categories but was bounced out the playoffs because the coach, Doug Collins, felt he could just give MJ the ball and let him do what he wanted, Shannon was pointing out it wasn’t until Phil got him to use his teammates that he started winning. It really all ties into there MILLION DEBATES about Lebron not always wanting to shoot the game winner and instead making the right play
Glad you addressed it. This nigga trippin big time.
Wish i would have saved the link. Actually i think Jemele tweeted it too. But a yahoo story popped up on my phone earlier talking about the handshake stuff and said Boston was just as dirty as Detroit but Jordan cried about us so it made us dirty players.
Also said how they just try and glance over the Pistons time like the torch went from La to Boston and then to Chicago like we never had our hands on it. Boston was the darling of the 80s but never went back 2 back like the Pistons. Niggaz been hating on the D since the beginning of time. Guess that's why we created the "Detroit vs Everybody" then the world hopped on that wave and tried stealing it too like it wasn't ours
Edit: here's the story
Don’t buy into Michael Jordan’s narrative: The ‘Bad Boys’ Pistons deserve your respect
Beating Jordan and being the team he lost to the most should have enhanced the Pistons’ legacy, but winning the way they did ultimately cost them.

People have called mj a bitch for complaining about getting beat up vs the pistons.. Once the piston couldn't beat up the bulls they lost.. What does that say about your team? If nfl told the patriots they can't cheat anymore and they never won a super bowl again what does that say about the team? When Detroit was forced to rely on skill the bad boy era was over... Think about it
Or maybe the team was getting older. Niggaz getting injured. Losing players to expansion draft. But yea keep telling yourself whatever it is you need to so you can sleep at night with MJ still being your hero. He had to fight to get thru us. Not the other way around
is Bill laimbeer your hero? I liked the bulls quit it with that hero shit.. At first it was bulls beat pistons cause mj complained to the refs.. Now it's a billion other things.. Funny how people would say don't make excuses for the bulls but when it's their team on the temperature in the arena was 5 degrees warmer than normal.. BAd boy dynasty ended when it couldn't be dirty.. When John salley couldn't closeline people and actually had to score it was fail city for that team
For the record, with all my heart and soul I still hate Bill Laimbeer!! Like if I was at the gates of heaven bout to walk in and seen Laimbeer on line I beat the shit out him on sight. If I was helping an old lady across the street and seen him I'm leaving her there and setting it on his ass!! If that duck faced cac delivered a Publishers Clearing House check to my crib I'm stabbing him in the doorway. I can't prove it but as a youth he was the face of white supremacy to me. He got a Klan robe in his closet!!
nobody like that dirty ass cracker
Trust you ain't the only one.. That guy was the most hated cac in sports.. Nigs hated the Celtics but hated laimbeer more.. Fuck that cac..only reason why he didn't get his ass kicked more cause he was surrounded by tough ass black teammates
Nobody making excuses. We won our rings homie and had out to shine. But don't forget those pistons are 3-1 on the bulls

Meh. Shannon's motives for even mentioning this won't help his boy.
Im just trying to understand...
The same people complaining about the rules being changed and the game being less physical today...
Are out there cheering MJ for crying to David Stern about the Pistons being too rough with him and vilifying the Pistons for it.
How does that work?

Sounds like Mike the one still crying though
lmbaooo...
Unsung hero is Tex Winter because the triple post offense was a major factor in that team's success and Jordan fought hard against it initially
Big facts. But folks will say "that's the chip on his shoulder that makes him the competitor he is"
Isaiah a liar and Hater!!!
if you go out of your way to try and hurt me and possibly injury me. I’m holding a grudge for nail that casket drop.
Man the show is geared around talking about Lebron, if any subject from any sport during anytime of the year can somehow be twisted around to fit Lebron into it they will do it...lolMan there’s a difference between playing physical and playing dirty, the people that wanted it to be less physical just wanted the NBA to stop letting players try to purposely hurt other players when they’d push them out the air, elbowing them and throwing them to the ground, that’s dirty play not physical play. Thats what they wanted but the NBA went from one extreme to the other, went from letting players slam each other to letting players flop all over the court and get rewarded with free throws
