What Laimbeer did was not part of the game, and were not considered good or hard playoff fouls. Sure there were some sprinkled in there, but overall, what he was doing was the start of Detroits bad boys image. He was widely known throughout the league for being a goon, who was fouling to hurt players, and take them out of the game. He was the reason Kevin McHale had broken ankles in the playoffs. He was known all around the league for putting his feet under opposing players feet when they were jumping, so when they'd land they would roll an ankle or get their knees twisted up. Those aren't good "hard/playoff fouls".
There is a clear difference from what he was doing and what other teams around the league were doing. Case in point, the 80's celtics, and 90's NY Knicks.

quote:How many suspensions did Laimbeer get in his career ? Laimbeer had a nearly 700 game playing streak ended because of a legit fight. But there was no such thing as a "flagrant foul" until later in Laimbeer's career. It was a rule implemented due to the Pistons , but he mostly played within the existing rules .I'll stand by it. Laimbeer did nothing like what Green is doing with chest stomps, nut kicks, sucker punches,karate chops, choking opponents from behind, etc.....

Laimbeer & most other NBA enforcers played at the limits of the NBA rules , but careful not to cross them.

quote:Google "McHale clotheslines Kurt Rambis" & it was a simple double tech after poor Rambis was jacked up. There were no suspension or " flagrant fouls" because hard playoff fouls were part of the game then , but that was extreme .

Correction: It was just a basic foul on McHale for the clothesline. No technical, ejections & no such thing as a flagrant foul.
