Best team chemistry in basketball history. I go back and forth between the bad boys and the 98 Yankees for sports history. There have been more talented teams, but these guys were just on a mission and the fact that people didn’t like it only motivated them more. As a Celtic fan I hated them, but wanting them to lose became as important as wanting my team to win. The passion they ignited in fans is something so lacking today

The Bad Boy Piston defense was rough but it worked marvelously on both the physical and mental aspect of the game. Either the opposing players were going to be worn down by all the bumps and hits the Pistons teams were prepared to dish out or they were going to lose their cool from all the bumps and hits and that disrupts their focus and game.
Most people these days don't understand that playing defense is more than just pushing and bumping players. It also involved a mental battle of whether you would retain your focus or not from all the physicality you were getting. That was what made watching basketball great back then. It was a perfect blend of offensive and defensive clashes.

The Bad Boys of Detroit were the villains of the NBA during the 80s. Isiah Thomas was the most underrated point guards in the league at that time. Joe Dumars was very underrated at shooting guard. John Salley was part of the team and Dennis Rodman was the energy force that never got tired on the court by his blood and tears by playing both forward positions. They hated playing against Larry Bird’s Celtics team all because they were rivals in the playoffs. Bill Laimbeer was and still the most hated player in the league. I know a number of legends who didn’t like him because he played dirty. They won back-to-back championships during their run. They were the most feared team to face against, but they were making technical fouls and played great defense on the court.
