    Laimbeer should be in the hall of fame, for his total body of work in basketball, as a player and a coach. Held down the center on a great Pistons team, was one of the first outside shooting centers, and then coached WNBA teams to several championships. He gets no respect.

    I went to high school with Bill. He was always driven to win. And he played within what was allowed including using your six fouls, to win games. Our high school team won the CIF Championship in Southern CA over a very talented Verbum Dei team from South Central Los Angeles. That team had not lost in years, and we knocked them off in the Semi Final game. Bill put in the work, and was the best he could be with his limited athleticism (limited speed, or jumping ability). He had size and length, and used that to his advantage. His longevity considering how physical the game was, at the time was amazing.

We played Verbum Dei with David Greenwood (latter was the number 2 overall pick in the draft behind Magic Johnson) in the semi finals and then played Marina High, from Huntington Beach, in the Finals, and they had a guy named Rich Branning at guard that was a great outside shooter. Laimbeer and Branning both ended up playing together at Notre Dame.

      Yep. The Pistons learned how to play physical from the Celtics. And so when those two physical teams played against each other things got ugly. There were tons of NBA players at that time that were physical (what would be called dirty today) at that time. Oakley, Barkley, Dawkins, Moses Malone, Maurice Lucas, Carl Malone, Tree Rollins, Bird, and Mahorn were all doing it. The Pistons, just didn't let anyone out physical them, and they got labeled dirty, for doing what everyone else was doing.

The only role player in their Starting 5 was Mahorn.

      @plainsimple244 2 роки тому +4

      Laimbeer won't say anything but there are a lot of politics involved in that sport and he knows Chicago wasn't good enough to beat them... just look at how Detroit dominated Chicago from 1988-90 and look at game 7 in '90 how they mentally destroyed the Bulls... then the Pistons were injured all throughout the 1990-91 season and still won 50 making it to the ECF... if Detroit was so 'old' they would not be able to be down 2-1 without Thomas (due to injury) in game 4 and then having Thomas come off the bench in the rest of that series vs. Boston in '91...why play so hard vs. Boston and then you forget how to defeat a team you dominated 3 straight years? The new editions for Chicago were Dennis Hopkins and Cliff Levingston, that was the difference from 1990 to 1991 and those guys barely contributed... no, Detroit peacefully protested by allowing Chicago to sweep them and then walked off the court for the future of the league... Laimbeer talked about that in this interview with every generation and how the league wanted to get rid of Detroit's style-of-play...so that's what happened; Chicago was never better but Detroit laid down for the business, it was just done in a protesting manner with the sweep and walk-off as if to show the public, 'We let these guys win and we had no choice.'

Then, it was "Isiah is out for the season", but Isiah came back (Pistons were #1 before the injury) and remember Stern made us lose Mahorn knowing Detroit was 10-deep. I wish they would have left Buddha unprotected, but there was some "tricks", with Minny's GM saying he didn't want Mahorn, and Jack McCloskey was worried about Rick's back, even though he played 19 yrs.

    • @plainsimple244
      @plainsimple244 Рік тому +1

      @@LoyalOpposition Right, Career-ENDING surgery on his wrist; he even stated this during the youtube panel discussion on the 1989-90 championship team with Edwards, training Mike Abdeneur, Mark Aguirre, and George Blaha... Edwards didn't know his career was over and Thomas dropped that bomb when they were talking about 1990-91 and the trainer Mike A. knew but none of the guys knew Thomas career was over.
      Looking Back: I always look back on that 1990-91 season and that's the one I wanted the most because they were head-and-shoulders above everyone and when I saw the 49ers lose to the Giants and UNLV lose to Duke, I was like, 'Oh-kay?...'.... That entire series in 1990-91 was Detroit handing that to Chicago -- there's no way anyone can convince me you destroy a team 3 straight years in the regular season and playoffs and then you forget how to win one game. See, to me, the SWEEP told the story that the Pistons let the Bulls win because Detroit/Chicago didn't have the type of rivalry that Boston/Philly had from 1980-85 where Philly won (1980) then Boston (1981) then Philly (1982) and then Boston (1985).... NO, Detroit dominated Chicago with the following record:
      1988 regular season: 4-2, Detroit; playoffs 4-1 Detroit.
      1989 regular season: 6-0 Detroit; playoffs 4-2 Detroit.
      1990 regular season: 4-1 Detroit; playoffs 4-3 Detroit.
      That's a record of 26-9 from 1988-1990 during the regular season and playoffs with 3 straight playoff series wins and the way the Pistons mentally toyed with Chicago in the 1990 ECF and then broke them 93-74 in game 7... that's what made the 'sweep' so shocking because the Pistons NEVER ran their offense in 1990-91 ECF, they played that series like a pick-up game.
      9 Shots: Isiah Thomas took just 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2 of the 1991 ECF. Now you let Michael Jordan just take 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2, do you really think he'd be trying to win? HELL NO! So when it comes to Thomas, nobody looks at that at all? What about in '93 if Chicago were playing the Knicks and Jordan just took 9 shots in each of the first two games, people would know something was up and he wasn't trying to win.
      The Sweep/Walk-Off: Go back and look at how Detroit played Chicago in 1990 and even how the 1991 Pistons played vs. Boston -- they ran their offense through, they went inside, they attacked the rim consistently, they rebounded and Chuck Daly made the adjustments in the rotation well. In the 1991 ECF, Thomas never ran the offense, Daly went small too long with 3 guards for longer periods of time and then put a non-scorer in there not adjusting even though Aguirre and Vinnie Johnson played great -- Daly gave Chicago the rebounding advantage....So the Pistons ON PURPOSE (in my humble opinion) let the Bulls win and there's a reason for it; politics and for the sake of the players as a whole to get paid. Now the 'walk-off' told me this was done on purpose, the 3 guys that led the infamous 'walk-off' were all from Chicago: Mark Aguirre, Bill Laimbeer, and Isiah Thomas.
      So wait, Jordan cannot beat Detroit 3 straight seasons but now it's a sweep?... So it's that easy?... Why was it so hard before?... HAHAHA! See people don't see this because they are Jordan fans or blaming Jordan's teammates but that's a lie; Zeke let Jordan win because Isiah Thomas was the President of the Player's Association and he had the players with a 53% revenue share vs. owners and the NBA signed that new NBC deal; Daly was named Olympic team coach prior to the 1990-91 season even though Riley had more rings (possible payoff) and companies like Nike, Gatorade, McDonald's, and Hanes are highly invested in Jordan and other companies like Chevrolet, Prudential, and other corporations are investing in the NBA as a whole because it's at the peak; Magic and Bird are getting old but can still win; Jordan is in his prime but he's losing every year to the President of the Player's Association. Remember, Thomas is responsible for agents getting less money so they hated him a lot... so Thomas is beating Jordan and winning off the court. So now he gets a 'wrist injury'...Okay? Going for a 3-peat getting that injury -- what luck huh? This is why I never really believe sports injuries, it's just too convenient. You ever notice William Bedford or Scott Hastings didn't get hurt? HAHAHA! Now they said Thomas suffered that injury in April of 1990 but played through it and the pain got too bad by the beginning of 1991.... Remember that's when Thomas punched Rick Mahorn and got kicked out of that game vs. Philly when that big Malice @ The Palace broke out in April of 1990 with that Mahorn/Laimbeer/Barkley fight. HAHAHA!
      Step Aside/Break Up: So Thomas (in my opinion) stepped aside and let Jordan win because Jordan was the #1 moneymaker for these companies who invested in the league and that would open up greater global markets via the Olympics to see Jordan win. See what tells me this was NOT REAL is that the Pistons broke up that title-contending team in the summer of 1991 by not re-signing Vinnie Johnson/James Edwards... the Pistons keep that team together they wind up winning again in 1991-92 and went from an injured 50 winning season making it to the ECF going for a 3-peat/4 straight trips to not having Edwards/Johnson totally healthy and getting beaten in the first round vs. the Knicks: that's the impact of Buddha and 'The Microwave'.
      Burn Out: Now Michael Jordan told us the 'burn out' is real because he had to retire twice after going to 3 straight trips to the Finals -- Thomas was going for his 4th trip in 1990-91; Magic from 1982-85 and 1987-1989 and Bird from 1984-1987 went to 3 straight Finals and kept playing so what was up with Jordan? He had to go because Thomas stepped aside in 1991 to let him win; Magic let Zeke win and now in '93 it's Jordan's time to let either Ewing or Barkley win but Mike couldn't let go. HAHAHA!... So he had to retire; remember he had a wrist issue where he wore the black wrist band but it wasn't as serious as Thomas' wrist injury...so that's really not real in my opinion, it's staged to push some propaganda and I still don't believe in what happened in 1990-91; I think it was a joke and the proof is the sweep, walk-off, and Pistons GM, Jack McCloskey getting rid of Edwards/Johnson to make sure Chicago won.
