lmao @ Lambeer looking back to make sure Zeke didn't shake hands
I always got the feeling that Mike wasn't really tripping like that and he would've gone along with it if others weren't trippin. He was just the one people pinned it to becuase he was the guy and they had that history. Also, I gotta say I look at Chuck a little funny over that shyt too. You coached them to play that way, you not only encouraged that renegade shyt but let it fly and then you take this gig when they are freezing out your guy? There is also so
to the coach getting the spot on the team because of the winning while the top player is the black sheep because of the extracurricular shyt, that couldn't have happened without the coaches consent.
Laimbeer ain't shyt.lmao @ Lambeer looking back to make sure Zeke didn't shake hands

so this were u dudes went
They talked shyt towards each other
Pistons always made slight jokes about Jordan and just about anyone else and they had the right to they were Champs.
But this was at the end of the series. Personally I don't see as much the big deal of them not shaking hands and I do feel the media put more on that then it was but from Jordan standpoint he feels if he has to swallow his pride and do the right thing for sportsmanship then they should too and in a sense I agree with him. But let's not post like the pistons didn't take they jabs too.

Joe Dumars said the handshake thing was an individual choice, Isiah led them and others followed. You can see Dumars shaking hands with Jordan after other Pistons left early.
Same thing with the Celtics in 88'. Bird and Ainge left early, but McHale basically gives Isiah a pep talk and shakes hands with scumbag Laimbeer.
Different people have said different things about it. Sam Smith said Jordan never actually said he refused to play with Isiah, that he just didn't want to play when there was an initial roster (behind the scenes) and Isiah was listed on it. Jack McCallum wrote in The Dream Team book that Jordan did tell him that he said he refused to play with Isiah.
Magic said that nobody on that team wanted to play with Isiah.

Yeah, and then Jordan said they were bad for the sport and weren’t worthy champions. Making snide jokes is one thing. Saying “your titles ain’t valid” is bullshyt.
The sportsmanship stuff to me is always lame, but I respect it from athletes more than I do media members. Especially in Jordan’s case since Dean Smith made such a profound impact on his life.

That’s not what happened.
McHale walked off the court following Bird and them. Isiah, thinking they were cool, intercepted him and that’s when McHale said that. Also remember, there was like 10 seconds left in that game too, so McHale had no intention of shaking hands.

I personally think Bird and Magic were the ones pushing no Isiah more than anyone else.
Both sides are bitter but to a different extent.
Jordan is bitter because he's just a bitter manYou've seen the Hall of Fame speech, he holds grudges forever. So of course he'll hold a grudge against Pistons.
But Isiah and Pistons are way more bitter because instead of being seen as one of the best teams in the history of NBA, they're just looked at as stepping stones for Bulls and MJ
So no doubt Isiah and the Bad Boy Pistons are way more bitter
Nah Bad Boys are a legendary team in their own right.
westside dusty and filled with dope addicts who smell like Uncle Remus and kool
Magic said it was primarily him already.
They are but do they get the respect they deserve?
They're more known as being thugs and MJ stepping stone
