I'm just surprised at how Rodman looks. I'm so used to seeing him with looking all crazy.
what the toilet seat do
Laimbeer was as eloquent as he was talented.
Bill Laimbeer Idol !!!!
best game ever, love to see how lambeer get whooped
If the nba was real the pistons would have gotten real suspensions but I guess they needed ratings
Wow, when ESPN and the NBA not WOKE at the same time, I can't wait to tell my grandson it really is true!
You can literally do anything to Bill Laimbeer and I would be ok with it.
Cupcake era today be crying to the refs.
Hes a loser says the loser.
this is the type of fight where jiujitsu is ineffective and thrown out the window. This comment is for you jiujitsu fans hahaha
I remember that game well.
Laimbeer is such a punk. Everyone else is playing hard and physical (except I don't know what Isaiah is doing 😂) but Laimbeer is out there doing things like pushing the ball into people's faces. I love seeing that guy get punked
1:24 you can't hit someone and run backwards
1:32 lol
Shaq: "Thank you, Scott!"
Laimbeer such a loser and a tool.
NBA -I Love This Game 🤣
The players interview at the end sounds like they won a 5 vs 5 boxing battle.
Good thing Chuck left that a-hole wit a black eye
lol now imagine Lebron 'crybaby' James and Steph 'softass' Curry in that era…they wouldn't last a season…!!! 🙂
Pistons was the bully team,unsportmanship was thier pride.
Laimbeer an unskilled lummox.
Find a bigger POS than bill L. Good luck.
"I got hit first" Whiner
I miss this era of ESPN.
Maaan i Miss this Kinda B-Ball!!! a Few Shoves & Punches No Suspensionsx let's Move oN! Lambeir was a Straight Azzhole but a Funny Azhole!! 🤪
Isaiah showing how little his punches affected Rick. Isaiah was more of a sad boy than bad boy 😅🏀
The good old days… how I miss them! 💀
Lambeer ruled. When he was on your team, you loved him. He was our enforcer. Wrong sport, but we’s a hockey people. Y’all just didn’t understand.
The Pistons have always been a bunch of thugs on the court.. that's the only way they could win, they weren't good enough to beat you with skill. Laimbeer wasn't even a basketball player, he was the equivalent of a 1980s hockey enforcer.
Una persona como Bill Laimbeer JAMAS debió de jugar en la NBA, persona que solo buscaba conflictos, peleas, sinvergüenza, irrespetuoso, majadero, agresivo solo para provocar, golpeador descarado solo para lastimar y provocar a los demás jugadores dañando el espectáculo, con una pésima presencia en la cancha, persona totalmente despreciable y pésimo jugador ( si así puede llamarse), una pésima imagen en esos años para la NBA, ojala JAMAS volvamos a ver a una persona tan despreciable y desagradable como el en la NBA dañan el espectáculo de los que si amamos el deporte del basquetbol y seguimos la NBA
Laimbeer Got into fights with everyone.
Dude looks like Chris Wray from the FBI 😂
Make Basketball Great Again
Who the enounser looks familiar like in movie
Qué vergüenza
Laimbeer calling Barkley "a loser" after he just beat the celtics on their own turf is crazy…and hilarious. Damn dudes were petty af back then. I really miss that old NBA..youd get like three sports in one game! Bball, boxing and wrestling. 😂😂😂
This is when watching Basketball was fun and exciting when the refs actually let them play professional street ball 🏀
Proud of our past
Love how Laimbeer, the dirtiest player in the game, always plays the victim. I have to say I watched the NBA in the 70s and 80s and it was a lot of fun to watch. Not so much now, to tame.
Laimbeer I got hit first. CRY CRY CRY
Brawl went on for 5 minutes 😅😂😅
