Bad Boy 89 Pistons or Todays LA Lakers?

What ya think?
Would the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons Team of the late 80's take today's Lakers?

Shaq, Kobe, and Phill Jackson or

Chuck Daily, Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, Bill Lambeer, Vinny Johnson, John Sally, James Edwards, Rick Mahorn.


Are You like me and think the era of the Detriot Piston team was underated?

The way they handled the Trail Blazers and other great teams back then was awsome. The mental aspect of the game imposed by the Pistons was unreal.

I just wathed this classic espn game and how they just whipped Jordans Bulls with the mental game.. It was great. (it also showed Jordan's greatness becasue his selfish game evolved from this)

The Bulls years later de-throned the Pistons to end their legacy, and cut it short as the Piston franchise dismantled.

But when this Pistons team was at their peak, they played better than any team in recent memory. Just brutal.

You think a hard nosed team like Detroit would just destroy a team like the modern day Lakers?
