Magic Bird and bad boy pistons made Mike what he became

[w.w.]

The greats are willing to give props to other greats. A sign of respect for others and confidence in your place in history.

[geminid]

The greatest era of basketball is gone. I miss those days.

[dcsniper]

Detroit Pistons made Mike step up his game after so many years of losing to them. Facts 💯

[mr.michaels]

As A Kid Of The 80's, I Can Barely Remember A Time When Magic Wasn't In The Finals!!💯

[WAYRIL]

That pistons team was so deep.the bench by itself was a playoff team.

[manuelshaul]

Beating the pistons made the bulls championships easy

[Sean_]

For all of you youngsters out there, y'all missed those great days of the NBA!!!

[Stefan-jbcr]

Vinnie Johnson getting some respect here, well deserved, he was a hell of a player!

once MJ got past the Pistons man the gates opened up

[miguelmojica]

By 91 Jordan was battle tested and ready

[ZappakeR]

MJ wouldnt be the GOAT if he didn't have to go through the Pistons' crucible. Every platoff series against Detroit back then was the Bulls' version of the SEALs' Hell Week.

[danielbourne]

Embellishment or not. I love hearing Magic talk about basketball.

[davidprice]
