The walkoff - Untold story?

Terry Foster reveals some insight into the Bad Boys legendary walkoff against the Bulls. I've never ever seen or heard these details before.

Jordan killed Pistons' style

Quote:
The Pistons were upset because they felt the Bulls leaked information about Dennis Rodman's personal life. Scottie Pippen made reference to it during a stop in action, which angered Rodman. Later in the game Rodman lost his composure and shoved Pippen a few rows into the seats near where Pistons owner Bill Davidson sat.

So, in the final moments of a 115-94 loss in Game 4 the Pistons walked off the court without shaking hands. Most of the Pistons would apologize for the walkout. Jordan never apologized for disrespecting the Pistons' run.

So, what did Pippen said about Rodman's personal life? Can't be worse than now, rite?

Pippen said he thought Rodman would look hot wearing a dress and ear rings.

And later Worm would go Bride at a book signing. [Blonde wig and white gown]. Later he would have a tryst with Madonna.
Ahhh young love.
Then some chick would marry him while he was passed out drunk. The marriage lasted a week.

Laimbeer and Thomas are the only ones (at least in my perception) that still have bad feelings.

Re: The walkoff - Untold story?

I'm glad Detroit walked off in 1991 the way they did. I hated the Bulls and I hated how they'd constantly complain about the Pistons playing physical basketball. I was more upset that Detroit lost to the Bulls than anyone else. I could deal with it if they lost to the Celtics that season (1990-91) but anybody but the Bulls.

Why are people making such a huge issue off of grown men not shaking hands after a game? To me it's a tad "soft" considering the hatred between the two teams. Let me get this straight...? The Bulls hated the Pistons but wanted their respect? That's a dysfunctional relationship if I've ever seen one. Besides, in 1988-1990 I don't remember Detroit crying or even asking Chicago to shake their hands after a series? When Jordan would come up and extend his hand, the Pistons were very polite and shook hands, but it wasn't something Detroit needed, wanted or even desired.

"Please shake our hands so we can feel good about ourselves?" That just shows how "weak" the Bulls were in those days. Isiah had to miss 34 games and Detroit still won 50 and wound up in the ECF... if Detroit would've won half of those 34 games they would've wound up 67-15 and dominated the East.

By the way.... Why did Isiah need surgery to repair the tendons on his wrist?... What caused his injury?... You think the wise-guys had something to do with it? I mean there was a new contract between the NBA and NBC and Zeke was the only guy in the way of Jordan winning a title.... Hmmmm? Plus Thomas wasn't on the Olympic team? Come on! Jordan is full of crap! The man can't even give a straight answer nor keep his house in tact but he wants me to purchase what he's selling?

Re: The walkoff - Untold story?

Great post Zekefan. I remember being totally tired of Jordan and his crying in those days.

I'll even offer this perspective. The Bulls didn't beat the Pistons. The Pistons beat the Pistons. They didn't draft well and after the Aguirre trade didn't make any moves of significance. They got fat and content, and basically surrendured the title to the Bulls out of apathy.

Re: The walkoff - Untold story?

Zeke and Jordan hated each other, and it was time for Jordan to be the darling of the NBA. Isiah gets tossed on the pile of discontent, along with the Piston's franchise. Sir Jordan ordered it........
