Michael Jordan's First Dust Up with Bill Laimbeer (ft. Bonus Oakley-Mahorn Beef)

May 14, 1988 - Don't worry, it's just a little bit of chicken fighting.

ref not kicking teams out, instead pulls in both teams, tells them to knock it off, 2:23 That is some good reffing

[grgmj]

In today’s game the whole team would be suspended for half a season 😂

[marcuscrowley]

Could happily spend all my downtime watching Bulls v Pistons and listening to Hubie Brown.

[MrKing]

This is why Jordan was mad that the Bulls traded Oakley

[ryanatorryanson]

They both threw punches, but only a technical was called. His I miss the REAL
NBA. Nowadays, they’d have ejected both players, fined both of them, made them take sensitivity training, publicly apologized to each other, make them do trust falls, and play patty cake.

Back when it was fun to watch basketball 80s & 90s what a great time to be alive ❤

2 minutes into the game and already 2 altercations, a real rivalry.

[cowboylaker]

I was in the crowd that night, the Bulls had their mascot on the scoreboard with boxing gloves, it was great

[seansartor]

Now Oakley vs Mahorn that's a MAN fight. Dem two would clear some furniture.

How can 2 minutes of basketball be so entertaining 😆? Man I miss this!!!

[brianchilman]

Just like hockey every team had an enforcer back in the 80's. Oh how I miss these days.

[mauriceking]

The difference between Jordan's era vs. Lebron's era

[Liryc]

I got to be honest i miss player's like Bill Laimbeer you knew something was gonna kick off, it made it fun.

[EdwinBetancourtJr]

My God I loved watching Basketball when it was Ultra Competitive like this!!!

[paleamigo]

The crowd response! Ah, the good old days.🤣👍

[TruthHasSpoken]

NBA is wimpy today ... miss these days. GREAT basketball.

[mikejones]

I bet draymond green would be a nice guy back in the 70s 80s and 90s.

[broncobilly]

I wish everyone would just appreciate this great rivalry. I'm glad I was alive to see every game. The Pistons owned them in the early years, and then the Bulls grew up and retired them. That's how a good rivalry should play out. They don't need to be friends now. The winners were the fans who got to see those games. They were epoch battles.

[Qaulim]

I really missed this Time period in life

Hubie Brown was like the “Mean Gene” of the nba
