NBA Insider Perspective: Bad Boy Piston Players Talk about Michael Jordan 

Joe Dumars is class!!!

Rodman and Dumars straight respect

Joe Dumars was all Class and the most underrated Piston, during the Era...

Lamebeer is a clown

Oh my goodness lambeer’s feelings were hurt.

I’m here for Joe Dumars. Was a very underrated scorer. Class act. 👌

80’s and 90’s basketball was the best

Mahorn got no chill! That killed me. xD

Joe Dumars is a legend with deep respect

Lambier is a true hater , Dumars kept it 💯

Joe Dumars has always been a classy guy. He was really the only player I liked on the Pistons.

You did a great job with this video. It brings back a lot of memories as a 52 yo Southside of Chicago native.

Zeke is like I am not a killer but don't push me!😂

You can clearly tell who are just angry ass haters and who are being honest

Pretty funny that Bill Laimbeer talks better about Jordan than Pippen does today. RIP to friendship 😢

0:45 Joe Dumars 2:13 Bill Laimbeer 3:38 Dennis Rodman 4:26 Mark Aguirre 7:00 John Salley 10:26 Rick Mahorn 11:18 Isaiah Thomas

Lambier and Isiah always the two that can't let it go.

Salley is a Class Act. He's Honest about his opinion & stands by what he says

THE BETTER DAYS OF NBA.

Sally I am sorry but lambier was dirty and cheep he was the only piston player who tried to hurt the other team instead of outplaying them.

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."

"I made it easy for Michael Jordan to be in Chicago" Zeke talking like he's Al Capone, Lol

As a Lifelong Bulls fan, I have to say = Joe Dumars for President!!!

Rodman, Dumars, Salley, and Aguirre was straight up respect!

Laimbeer was a flat out dirty player!

If you ever watched the All-Star games, IT & MJ were the perfect duo. Just imagine if they played on the same team

These Detroit Pistons from this era was a hell of a team, these bad boys were fun to watch.............I missed these days , at the end MJ did win 6 rings anyway,

Honestly, I believe Michael Jordan would have been able to walk anywhere in Chicago without you because they love them

Jordan is the goat like the Great l a t e Chuck Daly said Jordan was so good he was embarrassing the whole league

There favorite subject they love him either hate him but deep down much respect for both side

Well, if Isiah was so close with Michael and his family! Saw what his team put Michael through to win! Of course, Michael expected him especially to congratulate him after he moved to the finals! And he didn't, he deserved that criticism!

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.

Well made video! I am a die hard MJ fan! He was my idol in my childhood! However, I kinda feel for Isiah and what he’s saying!

Who's Laimbeer to comment on judging individuals? Laimbeer was a POS BUT Jordon wasn't commenting on individuals, he was criticizing the Piston's style of play.

I remember that era, them games were BRUTAL🥴. Many players today would not survive no matter how athletic they are!

Isaiah Thomas. Real one. 💯💯

It took multiple Pistons playing dirty (elbows, punches, tackles...) to defeat 1 player...that's how good MJ was...the Pistons won early on because it was MJ vs 5 Pistons...individually MJ outplayed them all even if the Pistons got the W early on.

Laimbeer took it personal..

Was a massive Pistons fan but didn't loke the whole bad boys thing. Im sure im not alone. So much talent and it was mostly necessary and takes away from how great the team was.

I miss these days!

The guy who said LeBron is the best player he seen ,I see his pain when he talks about Jordan .

Need a Isiah/Jordan sit-down on national television

I respected Dumars and Rodman. 😊

Bill Laimbeer was the first big man 3 point shooter. Im brasilian and I used to live at that time in New England. Detroit Bad Boys Pistols always the team who overcame;Celtics;Magic and Chico so nobody can take this away from them.

You can compete and play tough physical basketball without trying to hurt people. The Pistons were literally attempting to hurt Jordan. That wasn't basketball and there should be hard feelings. Detroit made it personal.

This is why outside of Detriot Joe D is respected and revered for his character and integrity.

The nba media of today won't interview any teams that beat and ridiculed leFlop. He is well protected.

I play ball with Mahorn's nephew.Dude is big as a tank n pops shit just like his uncle. Listening to Rick talk got me thinking bout neph 😂

Bill Laimbeer's was predictable 🤣🤣🤣 Joe D is all class.

It must really hurt to know that the greatest basketball player that ever lived hates you.

Isaiah Thomas is one of the best guys ever on and off the court!

Sally well said

Would've been nice to hear from Vinnie Johnson on this matter. Him and Joe Dumars would be the only two to consider as they was strictly b-ball. Joe's word I'll take tho. Respect the clip them bad boys were a tough team.

Hey Bill how does jealousy taste obviously not too good.

All these guy's were great basketball players in their right back in the 80's and 90's basketball era!!! That era was the best no matter how physical or how rough the game was played!!! They should all go publicly on national TV and shake hands and berry the hatchet!!! Both teams the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons!!! That's all there's to it!!! The only one player that i would probably have a hard time forgiving on the Detroit Piston team is Big Bill Laimbeer!!! But at the end of the day its best to just berry the hatchet no matter who said what or what they did to you on the basketball court period!!! That's just the way the game was played back then!!! 🪓🪓🪓

Isiah Thomas is more dramatic than all of the basketball wives combined!!

Most of the then Pistons hated Jordan because he kept embarrassing them night after night

Bad Boys, always in my heart

Lambier - who's he? 😂 The Goat! Who makes you forgotten 😂

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.

Pistons molded Bulls to the become the greatest team ever assembled, the organization improved that team further, so naturally 6 rings, 2 3 peats, and they could have won more if it weren't for the same organization that built them.

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

Bill Laimbeer was the guy every team wanted, he's the Draymond Green Ron Artest Bruce Bowen, .....Charles Oakley he contributed to the wins.

It was a shame how the pistons walked out without congratulating but it made it that much more satisfying to see them lose especially since Jordan went on to win 6 rings

The bulls were never the Piston rival. The Pistons dominated that series. Mike was the best player but he was not on the best team. The Pistons earned my respect. The NBA would make people think the Pistons were also rans. They beat the Celtics. Jordan didn't beat the Celtics.

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

I didn't expect to say this but, I'm with Isiah. And Salley had a great point.

The truth hurts ,Zeeke💯🏀

Funny thing about lambier is, he would have made lebron crumble and cry and duck the pistons. He don’t have that dog in him

LB is the best player who ever played the game. He knows how to involve his teammates to win from Day 1. So it took the best player ever LB 20 seasons to win 4 championships 😢

I think by now this shouldn’t even be an issue! Not taking anything away from Jordan but Isaiah was and is the quintessential point guard any team could have. He’s still my top point guard ever. Isaiah was as fierce a competitor as Jordan. All of those would tell that are go friends off the court but it’s a different story on the court. With that, Isaiah still a gentleman and a stand up guy!

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.

when you resort to dirty tactics, then you're not really great, both in skill and in character.

Bill LAME don lost his mind at the 2:16 mark. If that's the case he should have more chips then right!?🤦SMDH!!!!!

MJ #23 🐐

Your style of play is indicative of your values

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

Jordan was is and will always be the GOAT

Charles Barkley called u that in the (dream team documentary) 😮 Jordan hated u & ur team for the way u elevated his game, but didn't hate u as a person mane. No one loves a coach when he is taking them thru,this & that, but soon as they win the championship, who is the first person that that they throw in the air,(IT'S THE COACH). One thing i can say about ZEKE, he always gave MJ his props,even as evident thru mediating thru MJ'S Championships. I have to give him that. But ZEKE, the man doesn't hate u perse'

Your style of play is indicative of your values, Laimbeer.

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.

Rick watch the last dance if it wasn’t all of it but he watch. Some of it when they was talking about the Pistons

The bad boys played football so good

Whatever Lambeer has to say is irrrelevant you were trash as a player and all you did was play dirty … MJ is Goat … end of discussion

Thank you for showing how hypocritical, inconsistent and two faced Isiah was and is.

When though I am diehard fan of MJ I like the bad boys' Pistons.

Definition of Being the Goat. Michael jordan never walked off without congratulating his opponents

Dumars is pure class, and Laimbeer is pure trash.

Bill Laembeer straight up hater but the one that's a nobody is him, where is he now. Only Dumas got my respect. I stop this video halfway i can tell the rest of them were gona trash MJ.

I actually like their attitude instead of simping like it's these days in the league.

IT was really hurt. I feel for him.

Isaiah did you have something to do with freezing out Michael Jordan 1985 All-Star team

IT and zeke are lames. They like bitter ex-girlfriends that missed the bag once MJ cemented his legacy and they are less remembered and mostly remebered for dirty play. There's the old saying "the empty can rattles loudest".

MJ has said consistantly without any hesitation that his toughest opponent was Joe Dumars.

Respect Joe and Dennis ✊🏽

What this video confirmed for me was Loyal Hate. They were a team that provoked hate. They loved the image they personified. That image got trampled on, stumped, and crushed by one man, Michael Jordan. Jordan has nothing to prove, yep this vides says it all. MJ Goated even by his haters!!!!! The End!!!!

All 3 of them: Lamebeer, MahCorn & Liesiah are just what Horace Grant said that they were, "Straight B🤬z".

The good ol days when everyone weren’t buddies

Still a Bad Boys fan here...but man, Isiah and Laimbeer were sore losers!

Bill Laimbeer is privy to be embarrassed by Mike in so many videos shown all over the World, and that's why Laimbeer is stilled pissed over the way he got used back then. Definition of a Hater!!
