He had 3 championships as a professional baller. Two came in his youth during his aba years. Dr J might have gave Kareem a run for best player in the NBA if he wasn't an ABA guy. He was by far the most popular player in the sport...he was Jordan level for his time, without his games being televised in some cases, or any kind of media how we have today. That's crazy impressive.
I remember watching him play as a Warrior at the SFcivic auditorium in the early and mid ‘60s. I went down to the floor after one game and was incredulous at just huge and powerful he was as i stood before him while he sat on a folding chair. I have watched all the great players since that time as a kid but Wilt stands alone as the greatest that has ever lived.
It is a shame, with old this Bad Boys repeated chanting, it's been lost on how good the Pistons were beyond the brutal defense. Dumars and Thomas both could play the point position, Edwards, Lambeer, Salley, Rodman, and Mahorn all had game inside. The bench was four men deep, so they could always have fresh legs to run your a** off late in the game. Chuck Daily collected a unique squad and sold them on a set of tactics that should have won them three straight NBA titles.
I love my Pistons man. I wasn’t alive during the Bad Boys era, wasn’t old enough to remember the 2004 Pistons, but I’m excited to watch Cade and the young crew get us some rings. We’re beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Go Pistons! Detroit Basketballll
That was the greatest fight song in pro sports at the time. Still gives me goosebumps and chills, loved the way our Bad Boys defended our city's honor!🔥
I played high school ball during the Bad Boys era. Greatest Defensive Team of ALL TIME. They literally forced Michael "Jackass" Jordan to learn PASS THE BALL. Basketball is BORING, now.
This was fantastic, start to finish. The clips of all those hall of famers at the begginning, then Mr Russell with the narration, part fable, all true. Excellent choices on the soundtrack, mix of clips and still shots. Thank you very much.
