The 1980s Detroit Pistons resemble a hockey team more than they resemble a two-time NBA Championship squad.
Not many teams have enough material to fill five minute highlights virtually entirely with brawls, cheap shots and scuffles, but count on the Bad Boys to be the one team who does.
From Dennis Rodman to Isaiah Thomas, and of course, Bill Laimbeer, the Pistons irritated, agitated, and pissed off their opponents like no other team in sports history. They played dirty every night, and eventually, like the Broad Street Bullies, just used it to their advantage.
