They're not nicknamed the "Bad Boys",...that was just a reflection back on when they won back-to-back championships in 89&90 with Laimbeer, Mahorn, Thomas, Dumars, Johnson, Salley,..etc..etc.....they were the BAD BOYS!! Sharpest elbows in the league!..LOL
You're right though Tex,...they played as good together as a "team" than anybody I've ever watched......like the Wings did when they won the Cup two years in a row in the mid 90's....that was awesome to watch!!
