Bill Laimbeer
Need I say more? If you don’t know Laimbeer, go take a time out in the NBA lack of knowledge corner folks.

Watch here for a highlight reel of Bill Laimbeer.

This Detroit Pistons back-to-back champion is solely responsible for starting my love affair with the NBA. This four-time all-star was always bad to the bone. His fearless personality and aggressive play draws you in like a moth to a flame. He turned down no altercation and was known as a dirty, ruthless player. This guy was the one you needed in your corner.

Coming from a wealthy family, he tore down the rogue stereotype and was a one-of-a-kind mold. In one word this man was irreplaceable. A loyal team mate always there to protect his fellow players may he ever be remembered as the original bad boy of the NBA.
