The original true blue silent assassin.!!!!! Joe Dumars. My favorite basketball player of all time.
HOF Joe Dumars. He played both ends of the court like few ever have. The NBA sportsmanship award is named after him. Just a
class act all the way around.
Lifelong Laker fan here. I remember this game. Dude was a quiet assassin. Just an stone cold killer. Respect.
I’m from Detroit and I love Joe D, he took care of business!
Such a beautiful team, the Bad Boys. Every player a different personality, but they played as one -- with total commitment to winning. Each man had unforgettable moments of playoff brilliance. Glory days.
Dumars was as "bad a boy" as the others.
@@ILoveOldTWC yeah a lot of fans dont really consider him part of the "bad boys" because had a cool laid back personality but I feel like he's not a pushover I noticed old school players all seemed tough so I would assume push comes to shove he is as well.
Isiah gets most of the credit for those championships the pistons won consecutively, but Dumars was his silent, and less dramatic partner in crime .
Rodman is as well a very under appreciated key part of these championships
Joe Dumars was quiet and rock solid!!!
Joe D! One of those rare finds who turned out to become a Legend. So happy the Detroit Pistons scouts and GM Jack McClosky did their homework in drafting him out of McNeese State at #18 in 1985. In four short years Joe was 1989 NBA Finals MVP.
The Lakers had no answers for Joe and the Bad Boys!
One of the most important people in the bad boy era. Dumars was the quiet assassin.. Deeeeeetroiiiit Basketballlllll
Joe D was and will always be my favorite Piston. He was so consistent and so clutch on offense and defense. I’ll never forget him dropping those rainbow 🌈 3 point shots from the corner on LA
followed by Ken Calvert yelling "Joe Duuuuuuuuuumars"
Hot damn, Dumars was on fire in this one...he has to be one of the most underrated guards to ever play in this league. How he didn't make any all-time teams is a bit beyond me.
I like your post. May I suggest looking him up … he was selected to the All-Star team, 6x
@@ryanjoslyn I know he made some All-Star teams, but he's getting no respect from anyone when it comes to any of the NBA Anniversary teams.
@@crollwtide9452 Ahh yeah, right on, I hear ya. Another thing too about Joe D - he’s one of 3 guys Ever, to win at least one title as Player & as GM.
The other ones are Jerry West, and Danny Ainge.
;-)
Agree 100%
Dumars was the OG Silent Assassin. So underrated. Locked the best guards down then would come back down the other end and splash the J on em…. Crazy skilled 2 guard.
I'm a Piston fan but have to say, the Forum was a special venue. The lighting was just right. Of course I also loved the Palace.
Now imagine if Michael Jordan did this in a Finals game. Scored 17 straight to help his team win and blocked a last second shot to ensure the victory and then went on to win the Finals MVP. Or what if he set a record for most points scored in a Finals quarter after he badly sprained an ankle. Idiots who think that the Pistons were only thugs who couldn't play basketball have no clue what they did to earn their 2 championships in the late 80's early 90's. They just don't understand how great that team was or the struggle they went through to get to that greatness. Thugs don't win championships, great teams do.
Exactly! I've been preaching this since the late 80's. All my Buddies (who weren't from Detroit) back then called them Thugs, Bullies, Cheaters, A-Holes, you name it. They were wishing this team failure in every playoff game. I probably stood and paced more than I sat while watching these playoff games. It was exhausting, but that turned into exhilaration in 89' and 90', and I was sure to remind them anytime I could that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that my Bad Boys are a team like no other. Greatness comes in many forms, and those Pistons teams rose to the occasion time and time again after bitter defeats and failures, to achieve the title...BEST IN THE WORLD!! Bad Boys 4 Life!!
Jordan made 13 straight shots in a row in a finals game. Scored 12 straight in a 4th quarter of game 6 b4 paxson hit the game winner. N jordan got the steal from Malone in 98 then hit the game winner after carrying his team offensively. Jesus the man has to do exactly this one specific thing now?🤣
remember watching this live as a kid, lakers were so depleted they had to use worthy as a shooting guard
Isiah and Dumars were the best backcourt in the league. Either guy could take games over.
Dumars so underrated
My favorite player. I love Joe D. He should have made top 75. A few of those players that's still playing in the nba right now don't deserve to be on Top 75 before Joe. That's the honest truth!
Thank you for this!
Better than Harden. Solid and practical.
Michael Cruz fact 💯💯💯💯
@Willie Gordon -I cant say better because they are two different players in two different areas. But if I need someone to take a shot at the last minute,I'm going Joe Dumars all day everyday.
Is this a joke?
James Harden shouldn't even be discussed with Joe Dumars.
@@theernalrealestategroupatk707 I’m taking dumars all day over harden
1st zeke in 88 scoring 25 in a quarter and then Joe in 80 17 in a quarter. Those lakers couldn’t keep up with them skilled ass guards
The Silent Assassin Joe Dumars is a legend.
You must know this about me, to know where, when and how I grew up: Born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I remember, the Lakers' defensive plan was Worthy guarding the 2s, Byron Scott guarding the 1s, and Magic guarding the 4s and 5s.
I know this is a video about Dumars, but the 1989 Lakers went 11-0 in the Western Conference Playoffs and didn't have Byron Scott in this series and lost Magic in game 2. The 1989 Lakers is probably the most forgotten underrated squad in NBA history. Detroit would have probably worn them out in a game 7 if the Lakers had a full squad.
Pistons still would've won, but I don't think in 7, probably in 6. Lakers should've won game 2. Pistons survived game 2 with a three point victory 108-105.
The most exciting thing anyone can say about Dumars is he was silent. Very good and efficient but a highlight reel that will put you to sleep.
I'm 55 years old. The 89 Pistons were the best basketball team I've ever seen. When the Pistons self destructed I became a bulls fan
Interesting. I stayed a Pistons fan and am a Pistons fan to this day.
I want folks to understand this fact, WITHOUT Isiah Thomas taking it to Michael Jordan in the ECF when MJ wanted to play point guard, there is no Joe Dumars NBA Finals MVP.
That was the challenge and Isiah rose to it to help make this performance possible.
ISO Joe
He definitely had the ability in a big way, but I think he only ran two isolation plays in this entire clip. Joe was the real reason they traded Dantley, because Joe had ALL of the skills of a point guard, had great range on his shot, and made quick decisions. He didn't hold the ball and gum up the offense. Half of his shots here are the result of great ball movement to get away from the Lakers' trapping defense.
@@iandouglass7135 we traded dantley because everyone knew it was isiahs team except for him.
@@Each1teach2 stupidity!
@@iandouglass7135 Exactly!
They traded Dantley for 3 reasons.
1-ball movement, he didn't do well without the ball.
2-Dennis Rodman's impact on defense, rebounding and running the floor.
3-with a better passer at the small forward position, more open shots for Dumars, Vinnie and my Aguirre.
@@123slasher.16 I'm from Detroit and that era ...u sound crazyyyyy but proceed!
6'3
Michael Smith Yes, and Isiah Thomas is 6'1''
It’s pretty impressive that the pistons 2 best players were short but they can still hang on with magic Kareem bird Michael parish jordan Pippen
@@TrideepNagg 6'3 is not in any form or fashion short. Those guys were just giants
Marlon Eberhart tall in public but short in nba, how bout that
@@TrideepNagg ok I can dig that
Man looking back isiah was a bit overrated he was mostly never even the uninamous best player on his team
I think Joe Dumars' performance in 1989 should be a testament to his own greatness, not a condemnation of Isiah's skills and impact.
The 1989 Finals was open season for Pistons guards as a whole, not just Joe alone. Byron Scott was hurt and Magic wasn't sticking with those guys defensively even when healthy. That's why Joe, Isiah, and Vinnie (Johnson) averaged 66 points between them that series on 58.1 percent shooting.
That series aside, the beauty of those Pistons teams was the ability for any guy in their nine-man rotation to step up when needed and for the others to cede the floor when the time was right. Earlier in his career, Isiah was in constant takeover mode, which is why you tend to see gaudier numbers. By '89, he'd found a nice middle ground, where he was always ready to step up and dominate when required, but he also knew how to feed a hot hand.
In the 1990 Finals, it was Isiah's turn to takeover (akin to his 1988 run on the bad ankle). Against the Blazers, he averaged 27.6 points and 7 assists (54 percent shooting, 69 percent from three) in earning Finals MVP honors. On the contrary, he spent most of his career as the top dog of those Pistons teams. Others would have their moments (Dumars, Dantley, Tripucka, Laimbeer) but no one got it twisted - it was always Isiah at the top.
Conclusion: Isiah Thomas & Joe Dumars are one of the greatest backcourt duos in NBA history.
@@Swove2204 most under backcourt of all time
No he wasn’t overrated dude. Isaiah would just take a step back when a guy was hot or had a mismatch. I don’t like Isaiah but he was a bad mother fucker
I love how old school players could score in bunches and not shoot a single gay ass 3
