- The Classic sometimes forgotten 1989 NBA Finals was incredible, it was just before my time but I am thankful for my older Brother, VCR Cassettes & Social Media Jejeje.
This was the 2nd straight Season where Magic & The "Showtime" Lakers matched up against Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer & The "Bad Boys" from Detroit. In 1988 The Lakers took home the Championship but this year was a little different.
Love this Detroit team taking the torch from LA
Players today don’t seem as great as all these guys were back in the day
Good observation, back then you couldn't get by on just athleticism. The Pistons embodied, skill, toughness and determination.
That Kareem Hook shot is unguardable
It’s the greatest offensive maneuver in basketball history.

down bar none!
unless Walton's there............even robert wadlow who was 9 feet tall could've snuffed that one out without jumping lmao
It’s amazing how much more exciting the NBA was back then. These guys are pretty amazing with some of these plays. Players today don’t do all these fancy moves when driving and you don’t see anyone celebrating any shots. Todays NBA has people celebrating even though they’re down 15. Dumars doesn’t get enough credit
Dumars won Finals MVP. He got plenty of credit.
an era where the game played in the trenches instead of today's game behind the arc.
They could play with today's players. I do believe that
This Lakers team swept all three series in the Western Conference, then were swept in the Finals.
Who could imagine the pistons were going to be swept too 2 years later in the conference finals...? An end of a short era.
they need to show this to all the ppl that say the nba was trash in the 80s lol, they was ballin out there!
The piston should of also end on game 6 in 1988. Lakers got so lucky. Before Jordan the pistons had already change the game . They beat Boston they beat the bulls and the great laker team of the 80's... Imagine how many would of Magic won if there was no Bird and nor Thomas... 8/9 ??? Kareem, Worthy, and Magic the biggest three ever.. Good NBA years Kobe was last warrior of the NBA. RIP Kobe😎
no the Lakers didn't get lucky. The Lakers were the better team
Should have
@@johndo6175refs helping lakers until today 😂😂
1989 great season for detroit
Dumars was unreal
No team has ever swept the playoffs, but this is the only postseason where every series in a title run ended in a sweep. Glad Detroit got revenge for that BS phantom foul the previous year.
No, Chicago won 2 in the ECF.
@@123slasher.16 What I meant was that the Lakers swept the first 3 rounds, and then got swept in the Finals. Meaning that, technically, every series LA played ended in a sweep.
@@railenherman6482 yeah, you're right.
Regardless if they had everyone, they were not going to beat Detroit because Detroit was just too deep and their backcourt didn't match up with Detroit's quickness.
The one and only NBA Championship in the 1980's.The Detroit Pistons had a very good team.I think this Pistons team was best Piston ever to play and win in thier history
Lakers was lucky 1988 finals because if Isiah Thomas didn't get heard in he's ankle the Detroit pistons will be first team to do seen Celtics back in the 60s 3 beat and I'm not a Detroit pistons fan but I'm a student in the game and Seattle super Sonics fan
I m french and i agree with you if Thomas not injuried détroit wins finals 1988
If Magic does not get hurt Lakers could of still have won in 89.
@@kevinmorrison9569 i dont know i think pistons were better in 1989
@@christophegauducheau9027 They might still of won. I forgot they also were with out Byron Scott. I don't think it would been a sweep if the Lakers were fully healthy. I responding to the guy saying Pistons should of won in 88 but Isiah got hurt.
@@kevinmorrison9569 yes i agree with you
How come to there's no copy of the championship of Detroit in 1990 against the Lakers? It was a brutal and physical series won by the badboys
The Pistons played Portland in 1990, not the Lakers
The Lakers was old as hell here from 80 to 89 they was done
Fouls were fouls back then
Jordan cried so hard to the league about this team 😂😂😂
Where is the prove Jordan was crying
It took 4 all stars to beat 1 all star
That's pathetic
Most great teams sweep a team with 1 all star
Jordan was able to get 2 wins in 1988 , 3 wins in 1989 on the Detroit Pistons
More like the pistons were crying so they resorted to dirty tactics to stop Jordan.
Quite pathetic

isiah, what a beast

When basketball was a man game
Anyone know why zeke has his leg wrapped up ? When did this injury occur and how did it happen?
Did the Lakers shake hands with the Pistons?
Epic
AMEN
89Pistons vs 91Bulls would be an interesting match-ups as both were hungry for winning.
It's called 91 finals
It's the same team in 1989-1990, the 1991 Bulls needed the Pistons to be injured to win their titles; unless you are going to say Cliff Levingston, Scott Williams, and Dennis Hopson were the difference-makers for the Bulls beating the Pistons?... You have to look at teams as being healthy and then you can match them up easily; no way Chicago could even compete.
@Plain Simple with the level Jordan had reached at that point, you can dream of any team and they would have been defeated anyway... sorry bro. Also, the Lakers were injured too, that's why pistons won this title.
@@plainsimple244are u high
If the pistons were so great why it took them 6 games to beat Jordan in 1988 I will wait
Jordan with no all star by the way
Why did it take the pistons 7 games to beat the bulls in 1989 ?
Jordan again not all stars
Why did it take the pistons another 7 games to beat the bulls in 1990 ?
Jordan showed up in game 7 while his teammates disappeared
My point is pistons beat a Jordan team with zero all stars that's quite pathetic
Not really an achievement to beat another team opposition player with by themselves
@@plainsimple244example the spurs dismantle the 2007 cavs with one all star Cavs
warriors dismantle the Cavs in 2018 with one all star on the cavs
The Lakers dismantle the Orlando magic with one all star in 2009
The Detroit Pistons victory is not impressive
Ohh the whole 4 all stars with great coach beat a 1st to 2nd year NBA coach, beat a young bulls team with only one superstar player
Ohh hoorah that's a great victory get that bs out of here
The Lakers' first playoff series loss since the 1986 NBA Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets.
Jordan was lucky kareem retired
Detroit is oh so lucky that Bryon Scott didn't play the whole series and Magic was out by Game 2.
Lakers got lucky with the phantom foul on laimbeer in 88
You are so lucky that Isaiah was hurt in the 88 finals
Yeah, like Scott was going to stop Isiah.
What happened in the 2 regular season games he played in and they lost?
1989, Detroit 6, LA 0.
Playoff basketball is another beast. The Lakers were rolling. Catastrophic injuries EARLY on ended the series @@123slasher.16
@@johndo6175 dumbest bullshit I ever heard.
Byron Scott is the reason they lost?
I guess you forgot all the times Isiah lit his ass up for 30 points/20 assists, 30 points/12 assists, 42 points/10 assists and 43 points on a bad ankle?
Yeah, he was a difference maker .
Go ahead and give us the Magic excuse, even when he was playing and Detroit was still winning.
You know when you made it?
"DETROIT SUCKS!"
You Suck
