With seconds to go in a very physical & very heated 76ers/Pistons game, Sir Charles Barkley & Bill Laimbeer swing at each other, leading to one of the uglier pre-Malice moments in NBA history
When people say thomas wasnt in the dream team because mj didnt like him…na. the entire olympic roster hated him lmao
The Bad Boy Pistons were basically all assholes except Joe Dumars
Not Salley, either
Years ago we had a family reunion out at a lake. I got there early so I parked near the waterfront and John Salley appeared out of nowhere. He said I was parked in his spot. I didn’t want to be a jerk but I looked around and didn’t see any other vehicles. As far as I know John Salley had emerged from the lake like the creature from the black lagoon so I don’t know why he even needed the spot in the first place. But before I could even put it in reverse John Salley ripped the hood straight off my car with his bare hands and flung it like a frisbee into the middle of the lake. I’m not here to say John Salley is a jerk but let’s be honest, that wasn’t nice. Only time I’ve ever met him.
Cringe attempt at creating a copypasta
Nice to have an authority figure weigh in.
Damn the guy told a silly joke. Didn’t insult anybody or anything.
Jokes outta be funny š
Outta
Well now I kind of hope this does turn into to a known copy pasta
It wonāt
I mean, it might. Lol
Zero chance homey š

I love your commitment to hating. It’s inspirational how you keep coming back.
I met Joe at his gym in Shelby Michigan. Nicest guy.
Cry about it
Charles Barkley bouncing back after throwing the punch is hilarious.
that’s got to feel bad to punch someone hard enough to knock yourself back and they just keep coming at you.
Hate the Pistons, but Barkley obviously canāt fight worth a damn
Did you see the shiner on Lamebeerās face?
The announcers mention it but Laimbeer already had that from earlier. Barkley barely hits him on the right side of Laimbeerās face but the shiner is on his left.
Of course he did lol. Thanks for the correction
Zeke swinging (twice!) at an amused Rick Mahorn (who did not even flinch) was hilarious!
meh, Lambeer deserved it
An ejection being an automatic 500$ fine is hilarious.
If you compare NBA salary then to today it would be like a 25K fine today.
Inflation is real.
Ah the good old days!
Mahorn was on the 89 Pistons and they let him go in expansion draft, eventually he forced his way to Philly.
I like when players actually square up and throw punches instead of what we get today which is more like āhold me back, try me, try me, hold me backā and itās just posturing, maybe with a half-hearted shove.
I think it’s because of the hands. You might get angry with someone on the court, but if you actually hurt your hands fighting you’re not going to be playing.
I’m ok with guys not breaking their hands because of dumb macho reasons.Ā
Who gave Bill the black eye?
Jerry Reynolds had punched him 5 nights earlier in a Detroit-Orlando matchup.
Those Kings former coaches and color announcers are not to be trifled with.
Canāt tell at all that the audio is a Pistons homer broadcastā¦lol.
Painting Laimbeer as an innocent victim and Barkley as an asshole. Glossing over the fact that basically every non-Piston in the league wanted to punch Laimbeer in the face.
Fuck Laimbeer.
The one thing Lakers and Celtics fans can agree on.
hereās a good one:

I miss having a good heel team to hate. I donāt find any team today as deliciously contemptuous as I do the Bad Boy Pistons. Today we have SGA foul-baiting and Victor being a sore loser? Need more GOOD hate fuel
Bill Laimbeer should be in the hall of fame is my takeaway from this post
fuck Laimbeer. Dirtiest most worthless player in history.
Kermit Washington almost killed a man on the court
that’s true, but everyone who played against Laimbeer has the same story about him trying to hurt them. Washington lost his mind taking out Rudy T, but he wasn’t trying to hurt somebody every game like Laimbeer.
Heās still going to end up in the hall of fame
