I have to say I really liked this guy back in the day (circa '91 or so).

His asshole persona and dirty tactics were refreshing in a time dominated by the goody-goody "role model for the kids" Michael Jordan bullshit.

Not crap.

I hate this motherfucker from all angles.
You can be the guy who "gets under the opponent's skin" without being absolutely filthy about it.
For instance, Andres Nocioni of the current Bulls, who plays a very physical game and pisses a lot of people off but does not seem to be throwing unnecessary elbows at people's heads at every opportunity.
I remember a Celtics-Pistons game wherein Robert Parish landed a windmill-looking punch squarely on Laimbeer's face, leaving him with a bloody nose. If I remember correctly they didn't even call a foul.
I could watch a highlight film of just people punching Bill Laimbeer in the face.

Not crap for all the skill reasons previously stated. You don't win two NBA championships starting against teams like the Lakers and Celtics by playing dirty- that's just whining. Couldn't jump, couldn't shoot inside, but didn't need to to play the center defense like an absolute superstar. The same sentiment came out when the Pistons won in 2004 and were criticized for their "workmanlike" play and focus on defense.

Guess where I grew up.

fuck that doofus. like someone else said Dumars was cool, i can't stand the rest of that fuckin' team.

Fucking haters.
