Pistons 1988 nba champions

[sonic21]

Game 6 officiating was bad, clearly there was no foul on Kareem.

Pistons with the 3-peat

[Nahtanoj]

Not a foul.

[Dunc n Dave]

Wow! That was a WEAK foul by today's standard; definitely a no call in today's NBA.
Were they really that fragile in the 80s? And lakaluva thinks the 80s Lakers could beat the 90s Bulls?

[z0sa]

Lakers have had preferential treatment since the 1970's.

[BRHornet45]

sons this is nothing new ... typical rigged NBA bull

[rjv]

i just remember kareem always looking like he was about to have an aneurism every time he was called for a foul. like he was about to go scanners.

Kinda like Duncan?

[jacobdrj]

Had they won in 1988, I doubt they would have had the drive to win in 1990... But the Dantley team was superior.

FAIL!!!! :wgaf:

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Not a foul, like this one?

[Dunc n Dave]

Not a foul, like this one?

LMFAO @ Laker fan comparing a REGULAR SEASON game to an NBA Finals game!!!

[JamStone]

It's ok though, because Magic faked he was injured in the 1989 Finals so the Pistons could win it.

Thanks, Magic.

[BUMP]

did they lift weights in the 80's? serious question

LMAO @ Laker fans taking this thread seriously.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Lmao @ the suns 2007 championship thread


J/k don't take it seriously!

[Dunc n Dave]

It was an obvious foul by Bill on the GOAT. You are one very stupid person if you think my 80's Lakers would not have beaten the Bulls. We had too many weapons. And Magic was a better leader than Jordan... much better.

Magic couldn't carry Jordan's jockstrap. He proved that in the 92 Finals. The 80's Lakers were tissue paper soft compared to teh 90s Bulls.

That's like saying the Suns from 2005 to 2007 would beat the Shaq-Kobe Lakers because they had "more weapons" than those Lakers did. Shaq and Kobe were the best at their positions, like Jordan and Pippen, so it doesn't matter what else the Lakers had in the 80s, since nothing they had matched up to those two.

Your argument for the 80s Lakers vs. 90s Bulls is an EPIC FAIL!

Not so sure about that.

I think it would be a very even series.

Who do the Bulls have that would even slow down Kareem? Exactly.

Pippen could slow down Magic, but James Worthy would also give their front court a headache

Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Cooper, Scott....it's not even fair how much talent was on the same team.

I have a hard time believing Jordan's Bulls could beat the Showtime Lakers in their heyday.

[IronMexican]

lol obsessed

15 rings ot.

[BUMP]

Jordan is without a doubt in my mind the best player ever.

Especially what he did with that team, but the team itself was not untouchable. They really didn't go against many great team in their era and they definitely weren't the best ever.

I think people see Jordan going 6/6 in the Finals and think of him as some sort of untouchable deity. That team could've definitely been beaten by Showtime with all the talent they had

[KSeal]

MJ's Bulls could beat the Showtime Lakers just like the 09 Cavs could beat the 01 Lakers

Talk to anyone who saw both era's, and they know that the Showtime Lakers and the Celtics of that era would have curbstomped the 90's Bulls. It was obvious the Celtics and Lakers of that era were superior to the Bulls.

And it's very stupid of you to assume the 90's Bulls were better than the Showtime Lakers because of ONE foul call made by a Referee

[carrao45]

Nope
