He has skill which makes his actions even more reprehensible...I have never figured out why some player he messed with didn't just catch him outside the arena with a baseball bat to the kneecaps...lots of players took cheap shots but this moron actually tried to hurt people.
3 main differences between the 1987 Celtics and the 1986 Celtics: 1) The 6th man of the year in 1986, Bill Walton, played in only 4 games in 1987, missing the rest of the season with an injury. 2) Kevin McHale broke his ankle around halfway thru the season, but the team medical staff didn't diagnose it. So he played starters minutes for two months on a broken ankle. It was finally diagnosed around the time the playoffs started, but he decided to keep playing on it rather than miss the playoffs. He was never quite the same player after that. Sad part is, if it had been diagnosed and treated right away, it would likely have healed before the playoffs started. 3) Years earlier the Celtics had gotten a first round pick from the Sonics in a trade. As it turned out, that pick ended up being the second overall pick in the draft. So the 1986 Celtics won the championship and also had the #2 overall pick coming up. They picked a dominant and explosive forward named Len Bias, who died a couple days later of cocaine overdose while celebrating his upcoming entry into the NBA. By all accounts, it was the first time he had ever tried the stuff, and he had been pressured into it by some "friends." So the 1987 Celtics were missing their 6th man of the year as well as their first round draft pick, plus their starting power forward played half the season on a broken ankle. But they still made it to the finals and came within one basket of making it a 7 game series.
@@timmyshore3755 Anyone who was alive at the time and paying attention remembers it. These weren't secrets. In fact they were all top stories in the sports section.
Anything bad that could have happened to Bill Laimbeer, he fucking deserved it. And there is no question he deserved the hit he got from Robert Parrish in game 5
This is the series where Bird stole the ball from Isaih to Lambier pass and Rodman said Bird was just an average player but because he is white, he gets credit for being better. So Bird made them eat all their words.
yup. there is a video on youtube of bill RUNNING the entire court to block a layup by larry bird, but since bill will be forever remembered as a dirty player, it barely has any views.
@@MarcTheSparcTV Well if that’s your take then you wouldn’t have a problem with the CHIEF getting all “psychological” on Counterfeit Bill in the next game. 🙄
I was really confused hearing you say you’re good with Lambeer. I guess to each his own. I haven’t heard anyone react that they like him or say he was up to psychologically affect the opponents. When he cracked Birds chin open, his own teammate admitted he wanted to take him out early. He would try to hurt you and maybe end your career. He was a bully who apparently didn’t think his own skill was enough.
@@MarcTheSparcTV With Bird as well as Jordan, Magic, and a few others, if they were on the court, a comeback for their team was always in your mind. Those three especially had an uncanny knack for willing their teams to victory. You had to respect that. They were THAT good.
8:07 You say Bird and Laimbeer getting testy but they have a history of going at each other since their college days in the late 70s. Laimbeer went to Notre Dame but he was also a spoiled rich boy from Chicago whose dad was a bigwig business exec and he was never shy to talk about it. Add in that he always played dirty and it becomes more clear why Larry hated him.
Bill Laimbeer was the Dirtiest Player ever. He's the reason why we lost one of our finals against the Lakers because Bill would slide his foot under Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale feet and sprained his ankle. Robert Parrish could barely walk and still he played his Heart out. Everyone hated Bill laimbeer even Isiah broke his hand getting into a fight with Bill.
Bill was very skilled but he was dirty as hell. He didn’t need to play that way. I think at some point he actually liked getting under peoples skin. Also, that was what his team asked from him. They were “bad boys”. I will say, It made for great TV!
Parrish really wasn't paying back for this. If you pay attention to all of Lamebeer & The Chief interactions during that game. You'll see Lamebeer throwing elbows at the Chief all night. Chief got tired of it. Lamebeer is a spoilt rich frat boy.
I'll never respect Laimbeer. He was dirtier than Flint water. If you have to maim and injure others in hopes of victory, then you're sad. No excuses for that guy.
And that's nothing you need to watch the video of Robert Parrish punching Bill laimbeer a few times and Not even a FOUL WAS CALLED 😂. I loved it because he deserved it BADLY. And Robert Parrish beat him to the floor and it was because Bill Laimbeer elbows Robert Parrish in his throat and it was on.
The Celtics were -26 in this series. The Pistons blew them out twice in Detroit and won the third game there handily, while the Celtics needed the Bird steal and many heroics in Game 7 to win the series. I'm not aware of any series where the losing team outscored the winning team by more overall points. This was essentially the same Pistons team that would go to the finals for the next three seasons and win 2 (Thomas, Laimbeer, Johnson, Salley, Rodman, Mahorn, Dantley, Dumars). The Celtics were a shell of the 1986 team, with several key injuries.
Dantlet is very much a forgotten man, 2 x scoring champ, 24ppg career HOFer, man could score but wasn't keen on D. it's a shame we didn't see any of his free throws
If I'm remembering correctly Parish didn't play in this game because of a twisted ankle. Not sure if it was early in this game or the game before this one. I've heard that Laimbeer liked to plant his foot under the feet of opposing players when they went up to the hoop. 2 bits of information. Don't know if they are related. 🙄🤷🏻♀️
Great content/reaction as always Marc you never disappoint man you’re a natural in front that camera brother👍🏼I’d probably have an anxiety attack and shut the thing off before the video even started..now as for the Celtics haters that never watched a minute of these games or they did but have developed convenient amnesia as the years have gone on..Walton and Wedman missed the whole season..we ended up going 7 games with Milwaukee in the semi-finals because Chief and McHale were both hurt and were in worse shape in this series..then Ainge got hurt at the end of one of Detroit’s usual blowouts in Boston..tell ya something no BS I really think if Bird and DJ were hurt too Detroit may’ve won this series😂 And for right now I’ll be kind and not bring up what this series and the whole NBA would’ve looked like if Len Bias ever takes the floor with us starting right here in the 87 season..let’s leave it alone🤫
I grew up watching and routing for the Pistons. I loved the Bad Boys. There were some like Laimbeer that had intent to injure, but you needed that to keep the mind game up. Most of it was more psychological than anything. It was a way to get you off your game so they would have the upper hand. Larry had his trash talking; Pistons had their rough play. If you haven't already, you should watch the Making the Case for the '89 Pistons. As far as the ejection of both players. It was a good trade off. Bill for Larry. Pistons could survive without Bill and you didn't have Larry out on the court making a comeback or winning anything at the buzzer. It's all strategy.
@@MarcTheSparcTV The first thing everyone always thinks of with the Pistons is the physical roughness that they did as if that is all they could do. However, they weren't just one sided like that. As you noted at the end of the video, the scoring was balanced. Nearly all the starters were double digit scoring plus a couple off the bench had double digits. Their offense mimicked in a minor way the '86 Celtics mindset of sharing the ball. You noticed Adrian Dantley scoring a lot. He was eventually traded for Mark Aguirre because Adrian was under the mindset he was going to get his 25 points each game no matter what. Aguirre was brought to be more of a team player on the offense and share the ball more. Seemed to work. Afterall the Pistons won back to back with Aguirre not Dantley.
My mom liked the Celtics by a circuitous route. She always disliked Laimbeer and Rambis, but Laimbeer most of all. I've watched those Piston docs and my feelings of Laimbeer have been tempered. Players need an edge. The Piston teams of that era were very good.
Hey Marc. Here is your next video to review! ruclips.net/video/O4Td5QRfzj4/видео.html This is a great video to see how Larry shaped the Celtics into a passing machine. It's like watching ballet when they unselfishly pass the ball 2-5 times to get a good shot or an even closer shot. I've never seen a better team than the 86 Celtics, but I'm from Boston so I'm biased!

Bill Laimbeer was fantastic in that era. Playing really modern, unusual for the center, with good 3pt shooting and real basketball intelligence.
He has skill which makes his actions even more reprehensible...I have never figured out why some player he messed with didn't just catch him outside the arena with a baseball bat to the kneecaps...lots of players took cheap shots but this moron actually tried to hurt people.

Gotta love Bird's pinpoint "passing" accuracy.
Lol on time and on target
What kind of stupid comment is this? Bird WAS a great passer. Everyone has off games.
@@raveouscarlias4479
I think he meant the shot at Laimbeer’s head.
This is the series where Bird stole the ball from Isaih to Lambier pass and Rodman said Bird was just an average player but because he is white, he gets credit for being better. So Bird made them eat all their words.
You're absolutely right. Laimbeer was a solid player. He should have focused more on his game than hurting others.
I guess it was all part of the psychological game🤷🏾♂️
There was a video game called Bill Laimbeer’s combat basketball…
yup. there is a video on youtube of bill RUNNING the entire court to block a layup by larry bird, but since bill will be forever remembered as a dirty player, it barely has any views.

Well if that’s your take then you wouldn’t have a problem with the CHIEF getting all “psychological” on Counterfeit Bill in the next game.

what you smoking daddy ?
Laimbeer was probably the dirtiest player I ever watched. He literally tried to hurt people.
That was one of the worst plays by laimbeer. Bird would've been paralyzed if he landed any differently.

i loved billy and the pistons. do you want to continue this talk over coffee ☕️ ? 😉😛💋
When people try to tell me how “defensive” the teams in the NBA are these days, I flash back to this exact moment…
Laimbeer was a dirty player. Says a lot about the Pistons as an organization.
That was bad strategy by Laimbeer and the Bad Boys. They angered Bird when he was in his prime. Not too smart. LOL. Great reaction bro. More Bird!!
Def more Bird to come
In this particular game it was great strategy, it got Bird off the court.
@@SilentHunter245 true… maybe Celtics would have come back if Bird was there

As great as Larry was, DJ was still my favorite player, little unknown fact he was finals MVP for Sonics in 79.
Man, I love how you love great team basketball. You must've had a great fundamental coach
Laimbeer was good, but he played dirty af…tried to hurt people.
It messed up because it looked like he was good enough to just hoop without all of the extra stuff
Bill was very skilled but he was dirty as hell. He didn’t need to play that way. I think at some point he actually liked getting under peoples skin. Also, that was what his team asked from him. They were “bad boys”. I will say, It made for great TV!
@@GetLostGames1 Def made for great TV but he looks good enough not to have to do that
4:10 Bill Laimbeer is probably the most hated player from that Era, yet as time passes feelings mellow.

Laimbeer def gives spoiled rich frat boy vibes 😅
Idk, loving these old Bird games. Thnx Sparc man.
I'll never respect Laimbeer. He was dirtier than Flint water. If you have to maim and injure others in hopes of victory, then you're sad. No excuses for that guy.
Man if these games had today's refs there would be 700 free throws

Don't start Marc I'm telling you give Larry Legend his respect 🐐☘️🏀👍
You liked that because you don't like Larry Legend, fyi the Celtics went on and won that series how bout they do that to Luka
Dantlet is very much a forgotten man, 2 x scoring champ, 24ppg career HOFer, man could score but wasn't keen on D. it's a shame we didn't see any of his free throws
Gotta react to the next game bro!

Smh he took playing dirty to the next level
Bird hated him because he said he was a dirty player
Dantley ain't in the HOF for nothing
i love how the refs not calling techs when players starts complaining. in todays era, a player smile on them, auto tech 🤣
🤣 facts… even the refs were a different breed back then
Walton and Chief were both hurt and on the bench. No other Celtic was strong enough to body Lambeer

Kevin had the injured foot and Chief had a twisted ankle and this round probably cost the Celtics their playoff championship.

You can't stand that Bird is the Goat 🐐
