[Highlights] John Salley’s Block Party on Bird, McHale, and Ainge in Conference Clincher.
Game 6 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals.
June 3, 1988.
I started paying attention to basketball during the pistons 2-peat. As a 9 year old kid I thought both John Salley, and Vinnie Johnson were so good. I mean Vinnie was nicknamed the microwave, and John was spider, these guys have to be legit. And then suddenly, Michael Jordan lol.
MJ could blow through all defenders. I thought it was normal
It was normal. For Micheal Jordan.
Shout out to the youtube channel (Ryan Van Dusen) that regularly posts 80s-90s Pistons content. Pretty sure he posted this exact highlight this morning.
Always made me laugh how the Celtics said the Pistons were dirty when the Celtics were dirty af.
Oh you mean the game where the Celtics starters walked off early, and the media didn’t throw a hissy fit?
