re: Bill Lambier says LeBron is better than MJ

"Three straight years the Bulls battled the Pistons in the playoffs, and three straight years we left bruised and beaten. In 1990, it was a second straight Eastern Conference Final. We took them all the way to a seventh game. But Game 7 turned into another awful Chicago sports meltdown as Scottie Pippen suffered from his imfamous migraine, and the Bulls watched the Finals from home.

Even as a youth, I knew what was happening. I felt the pain of those three seasons, the growing pains that come with watching a young team make mistakes, and the pain of watching that team get beat up year after year by the same group of guys. The Pistons were men. The Bulls were children. The Pistons were evil but strong. The Bulls were good but weak. Exaserbating the bitterness and making it all more overwhelming was our childhood friendship with Aaron Wightman, Pistons fan. (His family was from Michigan.) And even though he was an incredibly nice kid who never once rubbed it in our noses, we all knew he had something over us. My friends and I would come together to watch the Bulls and Pistons battle, and at the end of it all Aaron was smiling while we were silent. The rivalry dominated my childhood. Nothing else was close. Aaron wasn’t a bragger, but with us, he did not have to be. It was understood that no matter what happened with the Bears and Lions, Blackhawks and Red Wings, or Cubs, White Sox, and Tigers, and no matter what happened when we played our own games at the school yard or in our backyards, nothing else mattered but this: Aaron rooted for the Pistons, we rooted for the Bulls, the Pistons dominated the Bulls, and there was nothing we could do about it

"It got to a point where it wasn’t even about basketball anymore. The Bulls-Pistons rivalry obtained legendary status in all of our imaginations. In my mind, Bill Laimbeer was not a basketball player. He didn’t even seem human. He was a supervillain, the Devil himself, a life force of pure evil sent to this planet to destroy our heroes, the Chicago Bulls. There were two supervillains in my childhood (and I say this with zero hyperbole): one was Saddam Hussein, and the other was Bill Laimbeer
quote:."
"Then came the 1990-91 season. It was Jordan’s seventh year with the team, Paxson’s sixth, the fourth for Pippen and Grant. Doug Collins had been fired after the ’89 playoffs and replaced with assistant coach Phil Jackson, but even under Jackson the result was the same: a loss in the Conference Finals to Detroit. Both the team and the fans knew what was at stake in the fall of 1990: the Bulls were at a breaking point. The team’s identity would be defined by their success or failure against Detroit, and another loss to the Pistons at the end of 1991 would be their fourth in a row

Not small...But weak in that era of the NBA... They didn't have the crybaby floppers back then............. Kurt Rambis would abuse Lebron and there would be NO crying to the refs back then... The ref would tell him to go sit his punkass on the bench.....
Wait, I've seen the games, that's exactly what it is.

I mean, have you ever heard of Kevin Durant? Or did you just start watching basketball this year?

Lambier was only 245 pounds?! Lebron is 6' 8'' and 250 and 100x the athlete that this dude was. What in gods name do you think he could have done to stop Lebron? Push him when he's going for a layup? Yeah Lebron whines too much now but he'd be one of them hardened badasses if he grew up in those crazy times. He'd make Lambier look like the talentless hack that he is.

Yet Pippen was able to lead the Bulls to 55 wins in 93-94 without Jordan. Same problems Jordan had without Pippen in the playoffs though. The truth is, the Jordan/Pippen combo is the GOAT combo in NBA history. It's amazing how little respect Pippen gets in terms of his influence on those Bulls teams. Pippen was just as intricately involved with the Bulls success as Jordan was.

How ironic.
Speaking of Bozo, Chicago had two nationally well known clowns before 1991, Bozo himself & the Bulls in the playoffs.

I'm not sure how you can even feel alright with admitting that you have no idea what you're talking about by saying this. The Pistons absolutely owned the Bulls in those series. Without that happening, Jordan would have never developed the strength he needed to be the player he became in the 90s.
People act like Lebron wouldn't be physical if he'd played in that era. That's complete bullshite. With his build and strength, he'd have dominated in any era. He just lucked out that the league wants stars to play for 20 years and protect them.

Bill Lambier hates everybody. I bet he hates Lebron too if you asked him
I was going to say that, but you covered it. The guy hated his own teammates at times.

Oh boy, maybe we can watch Bill Laimbeer and Alonzo Morning discuss this subject and a fight between them can break out. That would be more interesting than another rehashing of this issue by the experts on this website.

Well hell, look how deep the pistons were. At their prime, they would beat the bulls at their prime. They had so many top players they could throw at you. He'll, Rodman was a role player on those teams. Thomas, Aguire, Salley, microwave, lambier, Mahorn, bedford, Rodman, and more.
