such a good player, silent but deadly on the court, and as humble as can be off. dumars was excellent.
He went from idolizing Isiah Thomas, to sharing the back court with him in Detroit, and finally joining him in the Hall of Fame. It was a long journey and a well earned reward for Joe Dumars.
Such a touching and respectable speech, Joe said more in 8 minutes than most guys say in their whole career. Bless him one of the greatest to play the game and always a humble and respectful guy.
One of the classiest guys to ever play the game!
I could listen to Joe Dumars give out life lessons all day long. This should be required viewing for kids everywhere.
Joe Dumars was the starting SG on NBA Championship teams, playoff teams, non-playoff teams, and really bad teams, and one thing is certain, he went to work everyday with the same humility and respect for the game, his teammates, and his opponents. Class individual on and off the court, and I was blessed to watch and be a Pistons fan his entire career. Thanks Joe D.
Joe Dumars was & still is class personified! Awesome career!
When Isiah and the almost the rest of the team walked off the Chicago floor, he and Salley were the only ones that stayed and shook their hands. That's class.
That's what I call subjective
And Salley ended up joining the ‘96 Bulls Team
The Celtics did it too but people don’t talk about it
@nataliahampton you are spot-on! People don't want to talk about that and they did it two or three years before the Pistons did. I wonder why nobody brings it up?? Could it be a black-white thing🤷🏿♀️
I know right?
Yeah I am a number one fan of ALL of the 'Bad Boys' of that era.
Lol
Joe Dumars and John Salley were (ironically) the "good" 'Bad Boys'.
Man, I miss the 1987-1991 NBA. The league was SO fascinating then. I hated to see the Pistons go out like they did in the '91 ECF. But yes I was proud of Dumars and Salley for being the two who showed class toward MJ and the Chicago Bulls.
A good person, a good man and a helluva basketball player.
Look at how genuinely attentive everyone is
Well done speech. He was always a respectful player! One of my favorites!
Great player and simply an honest, respectful, and classy man...Joe, you are amazing
he's familly can be proud of him,great man right here.
THEY CALLED HIM GENTLEMEN JOE!! For a REASON!!! Love You Dumars!!
As a lifelong Chicago Bulls fan, I have the UTMOST respect for Joe Dumars. He was a lock down defender and could hit key shots. Most of all, he carried himself with class and dignity.
NBA Finals MVP, 6 time all star, 4 time all defensive team
Also a member of the best backcourt in league history. And one of the best 2 guards ever.
'Nuf said !'
Joooe DUUUuumars!!!!!
Also a member of Dream Team II, had the Sportsmanship Trophy named after him and went on to be GM of a championship team.

👍👍👍
To be honest I didn't know much about him except that he was a bb player who seemed to be highly respected. Now, it becomes crystal clear why that is. Definitely underrated!
He was the Jordan stopper, he was MJ 'S NIGHTMARE !!!
He is the silent super PLAYER that a all team wants get always. A MAN no other wide word for him.
Honored to be a Dumars fan from the first time I saw him play a game. He has never disappointed anyone who expected him to be smart, hard working, talented and classy.
i watched almost all the speeches here online - tbh this is the best Basketball HOFspeech man I've heard
even though im a bulls fan respect to Joe Dumars for his accomplishments he was one hell of a guard without question and a deffender too
Great speech Joe D. Definitely one of the classiest athletes ever! Thanks for the great memories as a player (NBA finals MVP) and as an executive (2003 NBA executive of the yr). Always always cherish those memories u left for the rest of my life! Thank u Joe D and thank u Detroit!
I didn't like the Bad Boys but I liked Dumars the most
@@par4d1gm LOVED The Bad Boys, & Joey D the MOST.
EVERY BIT of the Bad Boys was exciting, entertaining, and fun to watch. You just knew that (somehow, someway) Joe Dumars and the Pistons were going to beat this other team.
@@par4d1gm that's understandable
Mr. Dumars was always one of my favorite players ever. Talented in every way as a player, the total package. VERY intelligent on the court, as well. Unselfish, cared more about the team winning than anything else. Clearly evident in this speech is that he had a good, solid upbringing, and he's someone young players can have as a true role model. What more can you ask for?
The most highly respectd defender ug Jordan! Im so proud of you, Joe! Part of the Three Guards Rotation of Chuck Daly. Isiah, Joe and Vinnie!
I loved watching Joe D. play, great defender, great shooter, great person!
This guy was the heart of the Pistons
Such a great speech. Such a class act
Lakers fan ..but how can you not love Joe.
One of the best shooting guard of all time!
I love this guy, so classy on and off the court
Thank you for the memories when the pistons played against the bulls, jordan and pippen
This guy inspired me to love basketball and to be a good basketballer even though I am not as tall as others. He is definitely one of the greatest.
Touching and Inspirational Speech, Well Done Joe
He is the coolest man of Bad Boys.He fited in that team to score when the others fight against hegemony of Celtics and Lakers.I used to live in Boston but Detroit meant to be a small can fight against the giants.Thanks a lot de Joe Dumars,Isiah ,Vinie Johsin;Edwards;Sally;Denins Rodman;Aguirre ;Mahone ;Laimbeer and Chuck Dale to made a brasilian young imigrant alien at that time learned what means defense in the real bases of focus ,faith and passion.
So underrated all time. Those that watched him live, we know.
So well spoken.
Pure Class!Congratulations!
Well deserved Mr. Dumars.
So humble and calm! Almost impossible to think he fitted so perfectly with the bad boys 😎
The most respectable bad boy piston there is. A class act human being even though being a fierce competitor.
One of the best two way players of his generation.
The Pistons had the best little trio of since today Golden State Warriors. Isiaha , Joe and Vinne. These guys could score and played shut down defense. I was a huge fan of the Bad Boys because the represented for the little guys and they did it quite well. M
Yes, Mark. Superb 3 guard rotation. Joe D and Isiah 2 of the best, Vinnie would've started on half the teams in the league. Late 70's, Sonics had an excellent trio in Dennis Johnson, Gus Williams and Freddie Brown.
He had Isaiah share the stage with him.
Love your voice and the genuine humility echoed
I'm so blessed to have witnessed the bad boy days.
Joe domars... thank you!!!!.... amazing!!!
Wow, that might have been THE best HOF speech I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). I always knew Joe Dumars was a great player and a class act, but as corny as this may sound, when Joe was done giving his speech, I immediately thought "That guy's going to Heaven, when it's his time." As great a guard as he was (and I'm a Celtics fan, so I know), he's an even better person.
I`m from LA. My favorite team(s) were: Celtics, Pistons & Lakers---in THAT order---80s BB !
i love joe dumars game big detroit pistons fan born and raised great player and classy guy
Such a classy guy! My favorite NBA Player of All time and David Robinson is next.
Mine too with the adition of Hakeem Olajuwon and Dominique Wilkins. Great athletes and persons too.
I switched to basketball when my grand father passed away, originally I had a passion for baseball. Once he passed , playing baseball was depressing basketball filled that gap...
Dumars is a top guy. Great player, he built a good team for tthe 2004 championship (although team went downhill) and a really humble guy. He's made a few good trades for this season and I hope we do well so that he stays with the Pistons.
And 12,000 views!? So people not know how much he's done for the game?
humility. you said it joe.
Nothing but respect
A Class Act,you do not want your children to play like him you want them to be like him as a Man
OR BOTH!
It's no wonder Jordan always respected Dumars the most out of all the bad boys from 1988-91. Along with future teamate John Salley.
Similar upbringing. their fathers played a large part in their lives.
Class act! Maybe the guys today should take note
#33 on my all-time list of greatest players
CLASS!!!!
Joe D!!!!! Love this dude!
What impressed me about this guy is he always wants to carry himself with tremendous humility, as he said in this speech. It proved by his career in nba where he spent all his time in detroit pistons and he gained great individiual achievements. Even Jordan said once that he was the toughest opponent he ever played against. Keep it up Mr. Dumars. Perhaps he is the nicest bad boy members and also one of the most qualified players in the nba as well
Joe Dumars- my favorite. A class act.
Joe DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAAAAARRRRS!!!
Right on Joe Dumars nailed it to the wall with pure class, dignity, and professionalism!
Very nice intruduction speech...
big time class
Class personified. And he helped bring the Pistons another championship in 2004 against the Lakers as President of basketball operations in Detroit.
Is Michael Jordan really not in attendance here? Wow. Jordan is the GOAT. No argument there. I can't believe he isn't here. Dumars defended him better than anybody and helped Jordan step up to the next level, and then the next level. I hope he had a good excuse. If he didn't show up because of the hatred for Isiah and the Pistons then it's time to stop the hate for Isiah especially after the "Last Dance" documentary BS. Let it go Mr. Jordan. Forgiveness. The hand shake snub was 30 years ago.
And Dumars was one of the guys who *did* shake hands.
My siblings and I were out shopping one day and happen to see him at one of the shops. He was so nice and cordial. We took a picture with him. Such a classy guy. Joey D is awesome, on the basketball court and off.
Such a good man, humility and grace. One of my fav pistons
We are very blessed to have had Joe Dumars in Detroit for his entire career!!
We love you Joe D!!!!!
I've followed Joe since he came to Detroit. I've never read or heard anything negative about him, anywhere.
Just when you didn't think the NBA could get any better.. after years of Larry vs Magic--here comes this bone bruising basketball team from Detroit with a white to from a nice neighborhood being the goon. Different times! Signing off from 1973
Great character and a hard worker on the hardwood.. really enjoyed him here in Detroit.. Thank you for the great memories
Would've loved to have listened for longer...
Great player and great speech. Full of meaning and class.
well spoken guy
A great and HUMBLE person, a great man and a great basketball player. One of the best shooting guards and my favourite athlete, with Hakeem and Nick Gallis (I'm from Greece you see and i know some things about basketball). If Joe was a star like Jordan his avg numbers would be much higher. About 25-28 ppg for sure!! But the guy was a team player!!!
How can this particular speech have any dislikes?
Bulls fans
@@christopherhoward8128 And Celtics, Lakers & Portland fans.
Classy as always.
Ye Very easy in your opnion to get 2 rings? To beat boston at their prime; chicago bulls with jordan and pippen, and then the lakers or portland? From his speech he seems a real smart person who dosen not talk only about passing the ball.
My kind of man....!!!
Joe D . Thanks for the memories . Those Pistons we're 🔥
A gentleman that also happens to be a warrior. A man that I want my kids to look up to as a role model. His speech is exactly how he was as a player. No nonsense, get the job done without any brash self-aggrandizing. A championship team needs all the right pieces to be in place. Coach Daly the general, Isaiah the head, Dumars the heart, legs are Rodman and Laimbeer, and arms are Mahorn and Salley. Fan of Pistons or not, it was great to watch as basketball fans.
I had his number 4 is when I was on the JV basketball team in the 10th grade in high school
Joe Dumars very humble human
Great player, speech and role model.
The "Bad Boys" on court but "Great Men" off court.
My fav all time NBA story
Joe Dumars and Air Jordan went head to head for 14 seasons and never said a bad word to each other.
CIAO JOE SMITH
Miss the Pistons glory days.
You can 'relive it' any time you choose---all those AWESOME 80s championships are on You Tube !
@@blusnuby2 Plus the 2004 team that Joe built!
How can you not love Joe Dumars?
Even though he killed my Celtics he was the steadying force on that Pistons team
The Detroit Pistons created a rule called the "Jordan Rule" that shut down Michael Jordan for years......that caused Jordan to change himself and his way of playing as a team player. Jordan will be the first to tell you that Joe Dumars gave him the MOST trouble defensively in the NBA.
And he (Joe) got you 20 a night, too. Not just a defensive star.
Good Man
Much classier than Jordan
Oh Joe was all class. On a classes team. So he’s even more remarkable. The only “bad boy” I ever liked.
My favorite number...4. Joe D...underrated defensive guard.
underrated? He made the hall of fame, has an award named after him, was lauded for his talents and attitude through his entire career even by Jordan who called him the toughest defender he faced, and won executive of the year twice. yeah, really underrated.
oh and two championships and awarded finals mvp.
+Shane Bales He is underrated
+Niko Bellic look at all the sg
The point is, he is often overlooked or not mentioned when some speak of top guards or players in his era.
we love u bu be
One of the most underrated players ever he should have been on the 92 dream team I always wanted to see him play in the backcourt with Clyde Drexler Gary Payton Fat Lever & Kevin Johnson .
MJ said Joe Dumars was best defender he ever face and he truly was. But when I looked at the stat sheet, MJ's average against his best defender is 37.5 per game. I wonder what MJ's average from other defense.
This was Adrian Dantleys’ best friend. Was AD here ?
After a speech like that, I want to sit down and enjoy breakfast with his momma. What a hero to raise a man like that, in the deep south, during challenging times!
In the mid 2000s he could of run for Mayor of Detroit (many wanted him to) or even governor of Michigan and won. Even after drafting Darko we all still loved him for putting that amazing team together. I will be forever grateful to him, watching those teams in college and having some great times. I missed watching only 7 games from the 2002 season to the 2006 season (yes, I counted, I was a nut). Though his tenure didn't end well, his moves as GM from 2000-2006 were unbelievable. Minus Darko or course. Side note: my friends and I wanted him to take either Bosh or Wade (we didn't like Melo). Bosh to be that big man next to Ben that sheed ended up being or Wade to bring a great scoring guard off the bench (I know, we didn't know he'd be that good, but we loved his NCAA tournament run at Marquette that year). But luckily we fans got a title and almost repeated; game 7 in 2005 left us despondent. Thanks Joe, those were my favorite teams in any sport I've seen so far in my life.
Hated the Pistons, but had massive respect for Joe Dumars. He showed up, shut up and played the game the way it was supposed to be played.
There's a class act right there.
