@Salacious-Crumb I was going to say the Bad Boys but that was too easy. Watching them get under MJ's skin was funny though.

But the reality is MJ got under their skin. He won the battles, then he won the wars. After he torched the Pistons with those two games I saw, Pistons coach Chuck Daley game up with a NHL style gameplan to physically chop Jordan. And they did abuse him. Wayne Gretzky had it easier.

It went both ways. The Pistons had the better of it for years until Jordan figured it out amd brought Pippen along with him. Having PJ coaching didn't hurt either, a fact that most LBJ haters always dismiss (look at the top 10 all time guys and see how many did NOT have a Hall of Fame Coach for an expanded period)

FWIW, I loved Laimbeer. Not for the chat or the attitude, but he was really skilled. Super soft hands, and great defender. Sulk sure, bully yeah. But really talented and got the better did of the mental exchanges.

Rodman, not so loved. Too much show, too much care for the stat line

@voodoo I was gonna pick Kobe, but thought it was too soon

Oh yeah that one was excellent. I must admit the room got dusty when Vlade visited Drazen's mum

@canefan He had big balls to walk around Croatia like he did.

Petrovic would've been awesome in this era.

Added to the stats measures, Duncan is probably the greatest ever in his position, Bryant is top 5, and Garnett top 10. Pretty handy.
