Zeke retired at 32 cuz his body was breaking down. :yeshrug:
Right breh had injuries (reported and unreported) and played through them all with no excuses as the best player on his team. Breh only played 2 years of college ball as well. The mileage was high.

You're right and I was wrong. He was 29, not 30, when Jordan beat him and it was the year after the Pistons won the championship. Saying they were old is BS

Yes they were old in the majority of spots, aside from Joe, Sally and Dennis. I already mentioned how Zeke took a beating. The East was not a cake walk back then. Jordan couldnt beat them until they were all used up.

the pistons couldn't beat the lakers and celtics until they were old/injured. Pistons lost to celtics in 85 & 87 and beat them in '88 celtics primary players were in their 30's and been to the finals/ecf 6 out of 7 years.the celtics were old and done in '88 and they never made it out the 2nd round again

and the pistons beat the injured lakers(no magic,no scott) with 42 year old kareem in '89.pistons couldn't win until their rivals got old/ injured :yeshrug:

Lakers only beat the Pistons cause Zeke fukked up his ankle in Game 6 of 88:yeshrug:

And it took one of the GOAT plays ever by Bird for Boston to beat Detroit in 1987.

Put some damn respect on Zeke and the Pistons

they lost both series.They couldn't beat the lakers or celtics until they were old or injured that's a fact

These are the agendas used vs jordan yet they apply to the pistons even more:ehh:

Nobody tries to argue Detroit as the undisputed GOAT team as they do Jordan as the undisputed GOAT player though. It’s like crying about Durant not being held to the same standard as LeBron.

and the 2011 celtics big 3 were 33(pierce) 35 KG and 35 Ray. and hadn't won a title in 3 years...the 91 Pistons were the defending champions and best players were all between 27-31 years old. some how those pistons were "old" but those celtics were an epic opponent to overcome for 3 stars in their prime, and 2 of the 3 best players in the league at the time.

EDIT: smh, we shouldn't have contributed to the thread derail by the troll :snoop:

Currys ankles and legs are made of paper mache

:usure:

Ya he'll always keep tweaking his ankles but Curry is not retiring in the next 2 years. Zeke had nothing left in the tank and he played in a era where 6'1 guards got on punished in the paint and zeke was to hard headed to know better.

MJ getting posted up by 6'1 Isiah and getting buckets put on him:scusthov:



Let LeBron get posted up by a PG in the 4th quarter and scored on we'd never hear the end of it:russ:


Served them up while nursing a bum hamstring as well. That pass to Dumars at 4:18:wow:. Zeke has to be the most disrespected player on this forum.
