I've seen so many comments that try to delegitimize the Detroit Pistons as champioship contenders. The one and only thing they want to talk about is them walking off and not shaking hands with MJ in 1991, and they insult Isiah Thomas, saying he's crying about not being on the 1992 Dream Team. During the 80s, the dominant teams were the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers (and the Philadelphia 76ers early 80s until Dr. J. retired). Meanwhile, Michael Jordan entered the league in 1984, and by 1986-87 season (and succeeding seasons) led the NBA in scoring while Boston and L.A. were still the dominate teams. I think people see the Bad Boys as an afterthought. The Bad Boy Pistons beat the two dominate teams of the era, and by 1988 and 1989, it was no longer the Celtics and Lakers almost every year in the finals. Meanwhile Michael Jordan is the league's leading scorer but didn't have much of a supporting cast (like he'd have later with Pippen, Grant, Paxson, Cartwright, Armstrong, etc.) The fan bases of the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Chicago Bulls, all hated Detroit. Chuck Daly's coaching skills and the Pistons having the right personel on the team to exacute it, used the Jordan Rules, and to some degree, slowed him down just enough to keep him out for several years. Phil Jackson had to implement a new offensive philosophy - the triangle, and make it a team sport, where MJ had to give some control up, and supporting cast got good enough to neutralize the "Jordan Rules", but it didn't happen until 1991, not in 1988, 1989 or 1990. People also want to say "Bulls would've won in 1990 if not for Scottie Pippen's migraine. But he played the other 6 games in that series, including all the other games at the Palace, so those are more excuses.
