    Yeah, Laimbeer said he "didn't" wanna go out like Bird. It was more like "couldn't" go out like Bird. With a retirement ceremony at a sold out Boston Garden just for Larry... and there wasn't even a game 😂🤣. I love that The Chief had enough of Laimbeer's BS and pummeled his a$$! 💪 He more than deserved that.

      ROFL. Yeah that is why 95% of the league (the players that had to share the court with both of them) at the time thought that Laimbeer and Bird were equally dirty, and that the Celtics were the dirtiest team in NBA history before the Pistons got that label. That is Michael Jordan talking. But you know better, huh? Stop talking, you are embarrassing yourself. Go tell Jordan that he doesn't know what he lived through, and you know better. Go tell James Worthy, who says the Celtics were dirtier than the Pistons, that you know better. Ever see the Mchale foul on Kurt Rambis? Made the Laimbeer foul on Bird look like a warm hug. Stop with the fan-boy BS, and let knowledgeable people talk.

    The reason the Celtics walked off the court was Security strongly suggested they go to their locker room before the end of the game. They were sure the fans were going to storm the court and they didn't know if they could protect them.

      Puking now. BULLSHIT! You just heard Michael Jordan say 95% of NBA players would say either Bill or Larry as the dirtiest. That is the whole league at the time. You wanna say that wasn't true because you don't feel like it in 2022? The entire league knew the Celtics as the dirtiest team in NBA history before the Bad Boys got that label. Where do you think the Pistons learned it from? When Isiah Thomas says that the Celtics taught the Bad Boys EVERYTHING, he meant EVERYTHING. You want to change history because you have TH-cam video fan-boy-itis over Bird, you have watched too many highlights of him and nobody shows you the lowlights. A little advice. Stop believing 16 year old TH-camrs, and start believing the players who played at the time. You will have a more accurate version of history. Unless, of course, you just believe what makes you feel good. In which case, there is no hope for you.

    Larry welcomed physical play. He may have bumped a few to try to cause turnovers but he never tried to take the player out of the game. That was Lambieer's game. It's a shame too cuz Bill was an excellent ball player and didn't need the theatrics of proudly hurting someone.

    Back in the day, Larry was targeted a lot by opposing teams because everyone knew he was the engine for Celtics success…so, the plan was to injure him or get him disqualified somehow so that he couldn’t play, and the other team wins.
    That’s what ended up happening when Bird threw that ball. Larry ejected, Celtics lose. This was deliberate. Injure the players, get them disqualified etc….the Pistons DESERVED their Bad Boy nickname.

    Larry didn't mind "dirty play" perse, he was physical and didn't shy away from the rough play as long as it is within the boundaries of the game. He did some of those things himself and got creative with it. In the Michael interview, MJ continued by explaining that Larry's style of dirty play was smart: "He's pull down your shorts and stuff like that, or knock you off balance cause he can't jump to block a shot etc..." vs "Laimbeer is good at hard fouls."
    It just came down to how Laimbeer tried to actually hurt you in a way that you would twist your ankle, get elbowed in the face etc...

Stockton was known as one of the dirtiest players out there, nobody seems to remember that either. Disgusting double standard. Warping History to defend a narrative is getting all too common nowadays, and this one is easy to spot. You do not care about the truth, only keeping your half-assed evaluations, so you can pat yourself on the back for following the ignorant crowd and believing the proper BS narrative, the one that you heard a lot of people say, therefore is the acceptable position, or you are just a fanboy who will believe whatever makes him feel good. Laughable? You got me rolling. Guessing you are a leftist? Why don't you actually stop listening to the biased, and do some unbiased research for yourself. The entire NBA was dirty then, and the Pistons were LATE to that party. Joke. Jordan hated them, and so did Jordan lovers, which was the whole world. So they made the narrative. Truth took a back seat, kinda like things are today. So get lost.

Watch it in slow motion. I’m not a Laimbeer fan. I never liked the pistons. I love Larry. I’m trying to look at the play objectively even though there was a history there for sure of dirty play.

    Yes, Detroit were "the bad boys" back then, but Laimbeer was a whole other thing-- the man is just a p.o.s.
    And for the video to talk about "beef" between Bird and Laimbeer is misleading, because there was beef between pretty much all opposing players and Laimbeer, because he was vicious, and tried to injure players to get them out of the game and regularly did things that he knew could inflict season-ending, or even career-ending injuries.
    Even Parish, who so far as I know rarely said much, talked about Liambeer's regularly positioning his foot so as to get Parish to land on it when Parish came down from a shot, trying to injure Parish's ankle...which he succeeded in doing often enough that Bird commented on it, and Parish finally got furious enough about it to take his revenge.
    And if that wasn't low, piggish and disgusting enough, when despite his sneakiness the refs caught him at it, he'd whine like a little spoiled brat, acting as if he was being persecuted when if fact, for some reason I never understood, the officials cut him a ton slack, regularly turning a blind eye to his blatant and outrageous, violent fouls.
    I've never hated a player like I hated him...though I didn't think much of Rodman and the others holding Bird back and pinning his arms behind him while Erving was full-force punching him (and I thought it was kind of punky of Erving to keep punching while Bird was being held back like that by Erving's teammates).
    Bird's and other players' reaction to Laimbeer was nothing to do with team rivalry or anything personal, other than Laimbeer's being a filthy, whiny, destructive player.

    Every team played hard back then. Hard fouls were everywhere. It's just that the Pistons embraced it and did it better than any other team.
    Bill Laimbeer was a Piston, therefore I liked him. Had he been on another team I would have despised him. He was a dirty player, but he could rebound and shoot. He was a very good player.
    My favorite Piston of all time is Joe Dumars. He was the gentleman of the team and was normally tasked with guarding Michael Jordan. Joe was one of the few that actually stood a chance against Jordan. And he had a beautiful arcing shot.
