Re: name of new defense on Lebron?
I like KingPin too. But I'll throw a couple others on the table:

The Tay Trap
The James Jig
The Jame Juggle
The James Jib (triangle sail of a ship)
The James Jolt

Enough of this. Time to get to work.

Nah, I've seen a few interviews with guys from that team....I think Laimbeer said it most recently. It really didn't exist, but everyone kept asking what their secret was to holding Jordon to around 18 ppg (with the 40+ exception from time to time) against us when he was clearly averaging 30+ against most other teams.

Someone (Daly or player) came out in some interview with the "Jordan Rules" and everyone took it and ran with it. So our guys and Daly played along knowing it really didn't exist as an actual planned strategy. The best part is, the Bulls players to this day still refer to us using the "Jordan Rules" against them which is pure comedy and lets you know how much we really were in their heads.

A lot of it had to do with the fact that while other teams were parting the lane like the Red Sea when Jordan drove....we were sending 3 guys to knock him on his arse. Which is perfect because you can clobber him with 3 guys, inflict 3x the punishment, and only one foul can be called.

That way, if it doesn't discourage him from driving, he'll at least be all bruised and sore which would definitely affect is play over the length of a 7 game series.

When the Pistons duked it out with the Bulls and Michael Jordan in some of the nastiest, most brutal, angriest playoff games I’ve ever seen, the matchup was billed as the Detroit team against the Bulls’ superstar and his “Jordannaires.” And how the Pistons planned on containing the superstar Jordan became a sketchy strategy supposedly hashed out in a sweaty locker room on a chalkboard by their well-coiffed coach.

Chuck Daly had a plan. It was foolproof, gathered and formulated sometime between trips to the tailor to pick up his exquisite suits, presumably.

The strategy had a name: The Jordan Rules.

The Pistons leaked it, and the press pounced. The desired effect. The Pistons had a secret plan to contain Michael Jordan! The Jordan Rules!

Apparently nobody noticed the twinkle in Daly’s eye, nor in his players’.

The Jordan Rules, it was revealed by Sharp in his discussions with former Pistons for his piece, were nonexistent. A complete falsehood. Totally made up.

Here’s Bad Boy Rick Mahorn:

“We were just throwing stuff out there for (the media). It was just a joke. Chuck throws it out there that we had some secret plan to stop Jordan, and everybody just jumped on it … Isiah (Thomas) told us that we had gotten in their (the Bulls’) heads, and that’s how we had them beat.”

And longtime trainer Mike Abdenour:

“You talk about the prince of disinformation? Chuck Daly threw a whole lot of nonsense out there that didn’t exist. That should have gone down as one of the greatest fakes of all time.”

Daly wasn’t interviewed for Sharp’s piece. But judging from the comments of Mahorn and Abdenour, it hardly seems necessary.

The Pistons used the nonexistent Jordan Rules to bump the Bulls out of the playoffs in three consecutive years (1988-90), a time they spent comfortably ensconced in the Bulls’ craniums.

The Pistons’ supremacy over the Bulls was on the heels of their inferiority complex against the Boston Celtics. For a few years the Celtics planted shamrocks inside the Pistons’ cerebellum.

Re: name of new defense on Lebron?
I dunno about that because Joe D who is pretty credible has detailed specifically what the Jordan Rules were numerous times.

Something's rotten in Denmark.
