25th Anniversary of the “Bad Boys” going back-to-back [Video]

by

As I sit here writing this, I cannot believe it’s been 25 years since the Detroit Pistons won the second of their back-to-back NBA Championships.

If you are from Michigan, you most likely loved the “Bad Boys” and if you were from anywhere else you probably hated them. Regardless, you have to admit there will never be another team quite like the Detroit Pistons from 1989-1990. That team was tough, physical, determined, and most of all, they had each others backs no matter what happened.

As I searched for the perfect tribute video to honor the 1989-1990 Pistons, the first thing that came to mind was ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary titled, “Bad Boys.” It’s hands-down the best film on the team that I have ever seen. If you have not watched this, it is a must see.

Enjoy!
