The '80s...the best decade

[marvdave]

The 80's Pistons were better but not by too much. Both were very similar with their defensive minded, blue-collar styles. Isiah and Joe D. in the back court was straight trouble though. Thomas is one of the 3 best PG's ever IMO and Joe D. is one of the best defensive players to ever do it (DONT ANYONE try to debate this, Michael Jordan said that in multiple interviews so thats gotta be correct). Laimbeer and Mahorn in the middle formed one of the most intimidating PF/C combos ever. They were the heart of the Bad Boys. Add to that one of the best rebounders ever and a great defender in Dennis Rodman, and the amazing bench that featured the best instant offense guy ever in Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson and you have one of the better teams ever in NBA history. This current Pistons team may be the second coming of the Bad Boys however. Bad Boys 2 if you will...

He is my favorite blind wife beater

He is my favorite blind wife beater

Yeah, the whole domestic abuse thing made me sad because he was so good on the field. I was devastated when he got smoked in the face. Great on the field but not so great off the field I guess. Although I met him in Chicago and he was very nice to me and my dad.

Frank Thomas is my second favorite ever and he's a really nice guy in person too.

they did sweep the Lakers. Moses almost got his fo,fo,fo..but those damn Bucks stole a game in the second round.

Trivia time..starting power forward for that Sixer team?..no cheating.

I was just gonna talk **** about the 80's being horrible but I found this and it brought back so many memories while growing up. Just about everything brought back a memory.

The 80s were the decade in which I had the most success in my professional career.
I started it off as co-leader of one of the best "house-bands" in Atlanta....making good bread, getting to record a lot and playing with great musicians. The mid to late 80s found me playing bass and serving as road manager for a R&R HOF vocal group, traveling all over the world, staying at 5 star hotels and ****ing women that could have jumped out of Playboy.
I wish to hell I had not been ripped to the **** through 80% of it! By all reports, I had an outstanding time!
