I loved the Bad Boys, but it can be so conflicting at times as a fan of Detroit sports in general. I see the hard fouls, the walking off the court against Chicago (though great point regarding the standing ovation against the Lakers), etc. I see that and I say, "Yeahhh! Awesome! Bad Boys! Sweet!"
But you know how I feel about the Colorado Avalanche? Dirty. No good. Rotten. Scumbags. Jerks. And I hate them for many of the same reasons I loved the Bad Boys. Of course, my reasoning usually comes down to, "Well, Bill Laimbeer never smashed John Paxson's face into the scorer's table thus resulting in John eating out of a straw for the whole summer of '91". But I mean. . .Dennis Rodman threw Scottie into the stands once (yielding a few stitches). And jerks or not, Claude Lemieux and the Av's were Stanley Cup champions. And that really grinds my gears. I guess that was the man above's way of forging compassion and understanding amongst all the former opponents of my Bad Boy's in the 80's.
Anyway. . . Frank Brickowski!

And no, I don't think Kareem was in the game last year, though I remember a few guys creating players that looked virtually identical to the man himself. Kareem and Charles Barkley translated over real well into create-a-player land last year.
