Perhaps Isaiah was a jerk, but he was a fierce competitor with killer instinct and who didn't make friends on the court unlike Malone. He was to busy coddling Jordan in the those two Finals. Maybe if he would've competed against Jorddan like he did with Zeke, he and his sidekick Stockton (or was it vice versa) could've won at least one ring. I find it ironic, that Malone's last fleeting chance to win a ring he lost the Pistons...again!
That's why Carl Malone never won rings.. Isiah thomas did played dirty sometime no question. Isiah is great player so is Carl Malone even though he's not my favorite. Hopely they put their mess behind them. It's time for people to united especially black ball player.
was Malone's elbow X-rayed, treated, & nurtured after Zeke delivered a nasty hit on it using his face & eyebrow? Poor elbow did not deserve The Weasel's venom. Like they say, The Vermin's eyebrow didn't take any crap from nobody. BTW, have u seen Assiah's daughter? She looks like her dad's rectum. Poor girl is cursed for life.
You can send a message without elbowing someone in the eye. Malone was a dirty SOB. If he wasn't elbowing somebody, he would drive to the basket and kick someone in the nuts (David Robinson)
Speaking of being dirty...did you ever watch the Pistons play? Talk about dirty. They were the worst team ever when it came to being dirty. Isiah got what he deserved!!!
Malone was so far out of line committing that foul he should have been suspended a month at least. Isiah was tuff as nails and came back in the game. What ever Isiah ever did he didn't deserve that. Malone could have killed him he's lucky he didn't. It was the saddest cheap shot ever. Kermit Washington's hit on Rudy T wasn't as calculated as that shot. A sad day in the NBA
i wonder where are all these bad boys now... why aren't they attacking malone to defend their teammate... i guess they are tough only when it comes to hitting jordan
every time i see this i can never understand how malone didnt get suspended for the season and most of the next season too. THats way way worse than what Kermit W did to Rudy T and Kermit got blackballed for life
Bravo to Malone for giving Isiah what was coming. This was in response to Isiah lighting up Stockton when they met earlier in the season for 44 points. This came after Stockton was picked over Thomas for the Dream Team. That's what happens when you walk off the court without shaking hands.
I'm not gonna say what Malone did was right, because it wasn't, but isiah had it coming for years. For the Pistons to be complaining after all the years of cheap shots and fights shows that they were a bunch of punks who could dish it out but not take it.
Isiah was lighting up Stockton, so Karl took up for him like a bytch. Too bad Karl didnt handle his kids of wedlock or his thirst for an NBA championship the same way.
@MrRedbone19 Isiah was a huge asshole during the 80's and early 90's. A ton of players probably wanted to beat the shit out of him on the court. Malone did everyone a favor
@MikeyIV malone was also a huge asshole though.... hit on kobe's wife when they were teammates, threw elbows more than any bigman ever AND got a 13 year old girl pregnant when he was 19 and neglected their kid until page 2 published an article about it. almost forgot: he also refused to play in the all star game with magic johnson after he was diagnosed with HIV
@deezstack I'm not saying malone wasn't an asshole. But they didn't even allow Isiah on the dream team because of team chemistry. THAT's how many people hated him
'bad boys' were dirty players, but they never tried to hide it. Karl Malone and John Stockton did alot of the same stuff, but they made sure the refs (almost) never saw it
@AMilitantAgnostic The probly is that Malone has done this to several people.......including Steve Nash and David Robinson. I'd hardly call Steve Nash or Robinson a punk. The Bad Boys could be dirty, but the Jazz were just as dirty.......Stockton was a dirty player because he would often illegally hold people's jerseys, slowing their reaction down. And Malone was famous for his cheap-shot elbows. This was a 6'9 256 lb guy brutally striking a 6'1 guy. Not fair by any means
@williwo 80's basketball -- if a guard goes in the paint you knock him out of it - Nash ignored the rule - in Malone's eyes he was acting like a punk.
Malone is a stand up guy, and I'm sure if he hit David Robinson with an elbow it was a mistake I'm sure he took a few too.
If you think the 80 were harsh - Wilt dislocated a guys shoulder for trying to dunk on him a second time - Bill Russell would not just block you he would "Wilson burger" you - break your nose with the ball...
@AMilitantAgnostic Naw dude, sorry.......Karl Malone was SPECIFICALLY known for this kind of play, more than anyone else. Theres been articles written on this and everything. Even Dominique Wilkins called him out.....saying that he wasn't a man, and that he enjoyed pushing people around, especially if they were smaller. Malone is one of the all-time greats....but he was known for flagrant, dirty play....He never apologized to Thomas or Robinson.
Fuckin' bad boy bitches, took more cheap shots than the entire leauge combined and when their top bitch goes down they wanna fight. lmao at bitch Pistons.......... If yo bitch ass can dish it out then yo bitch ass better be ready to take it or else u might have to walk off the court while you're gettin' swept 'cuz your bitch ass is embarrassed. BWAHAHAHAHA nice shot Malone............
i cant stand carl but i dont think it was a dirty play. when thomas was going up eaton smacked the ball down. malone was going to where the ball was gonna be but it wasnt there. not dirty at all nothing like bynum this year in the playoffs. you guys are making it sound like that!
@rage801 Steve Nash was one of his victims. I believe David Robinson caught one as well that knocked him out cold. I'm sure there are plenty others it's just footage isn't as plentiful from the 80's and 90's as it is in today's day of age.
@tboltfootball Laimbeer, that punk didn't do a thing to protect Isaih on that play. One man came off the Piston's bench to try to get after Malone, and he was a little guy at that. That punk Laim beer just stood there and watched in horor.
@tboltfootball I don't recall Laimbeer getting into to many fist fight, as everyone knows, most basketball players can't fight. I do recall him push at someone when they got tangled up on a play, and the push was not in defense of teammates. In short, let's be honest... Laimbeer was pretty lame!
That little asshole desverved it anyways...The shit that him and the rest of his Detroit team did to other teams, he should have seen it coming some day.
he woulda got 5 games for this nowadays.this was a dirty play but i do miss when basketball was physical.now guys liek lebron...6'8" 255 but crying like a bitch every time he gets touched.
watch the replay starting around 16 seconds, malone was going for the ball isiah got hit by another player right before getting to malone causing the ball to not be where malone was putting his hand. seems clean to me
This was the thing that made the old NBA exciting... and this is the kind of defense you don't get to see now a days... when players try to be fancy in the 80's.... they normally get hurt.... hahaha...
He was lighting up Stockton this game because he got left of the dream team....Was on his way to 50-60 pts. Until Karl decided to compete in a non basketball way.
demoncleaner45 ......if I'm not mistaken this was in retaliation for Isiah questioning in a interview why he was left off the Dream Team when Stockton was selected who he considered himself better than.
I think that 44 pt. game vs. Utah by Isiah in the first time they met after this game.
For all of U idiot, uninformed kids on here talkin' shit about Malone and this play, it was in retaliation to what the Pistons did to Stockton in the previous game in Detroit that year.
If you'd actually lived thru that era & actually saw it, you'd know WTF you're talkin' about..
@blackadam06 Shut the fuck up faggot. Malone always throws intentional elbows like that. Not this one play, because he was making a play on the ball, but there has been MANY times over the years when he intentionally throws high elbows into people's faces.
"Malone always throws intentional elbows like that"
Aside from a FEW instances, SHOW ME where he "always" does this?
Like I said, if your dumb ass had actually seen this era, you'd know WHY he did that to Isiah..U stupid ass kids today are just arrogant & ignorant enough to presume to think that you're more qualified to tell older fans about an era of players that your lil young ass didn't even see!
Like I said, Isiah & other Pistons roughed up, cheap shot'd and injured Stockton in a game in Detroit earlier that season, that's why Malone did what he did..
People were sick of Detroit doing that to others, so he did something about it..
Isiah Thomas and Karl Malone Battle It OutLong story short: Isiah Thomas gets pissed that John Stockton made the Dream Team over him. In revenge, Thomas lights up Stockton for 44 points early in the season. A month later Karl Malone exacts his revenge on Thomas for lighting up his daisy duke wearing teammate.
I remember watching the game live. If anyone remembers at the time the Pistons were a bunch of bullies that were just as violent, and thats every day it seemed. The pistons played dirty game after game. No one really were to moved by Karl Malones foul. but listen to the piston's fans cry when Isiah gets a dose of their own medicine. If you dont want to take it dont dish it out. Karl malone is not someone you mess with anyway.
Karl Malone is known for that type of dirty play style.He did it to Isiah,David Robinson and Joe Kline(name not sure of)probably more to.Karl Malone can get away with this since he is sending a message to the bad boy pistons,they have been known to do the same kind of crap.
@warheart999 LOL. Yup. I see a lot of round-table discussions debating the legacy of NBA players where lack of stiches come up as a major criteria for greatness.
Malone tried to get on the L.A. gravy train and win a title as an old man and then got pw3ned by Detroit AGAIN.
@boknowsbaseball yeah,karma is a bitch...Malone was one of the greatest anyways,even if sometimes he gave away a few cheap shots like the elbow in Nash's mouth
KARL MALONE...whenever forwards locked down his limited "2 move offense" or his team started to lose he would do some dirty shit and half the time he wouldn't even get ejected,I truly hated him for that...
@BaseFury Haha. What team are you a fan of that Isiah's team beat? Bird's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, Jordan's Bulls -- they all had their turn losing to Detroit back in the day. In fact, the bad boys ended the party for both the Celtics and Lakers teams of the '80s.
@boknowsbaseball At the Bulls peak they swept the Pistons 4-0 in the Eastern Conferce Finals of 1991. The Lakers and Celtics were just tired because they had been in every Conference Final or Nba Final for like 10 years straight. And yes, Stern pussified the league.
@thewolfmanchu So the Pistons beating the Celtics and Lakers has been devalued because they were "tired"? I'm pretty sure if King Michael was the team to end those teams' runs, that wouldn't be the spin. And who's to say the Pistons weren't tired when the Bulls beat them?
@TheMrMagnanimous THANK U..KARL MARLONE N RODMAN GOT WRAPPED UP AND ROLLED AROUND ON THE FLOOR(2 OF THE DIRTIEST PLAYERS IN THE NBA) NOBODY WANT TO SEE THAT
"pussified the nba" i would WAY rather watch today's nba than that overly aggressive thugball shit that started during the late 80s. the nba is way more competitive now
I'd LOVE to see Kobe, Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzski, etc... attempt to play during THIS era. *cough 4 Year Careers cough* *cough Single Digit Scoring Averages cough* *cough PWNAGE cough*
Too bad this didn't happen to Pistons players more often.

this was in retaliation for Isiah lighting up Stockton in the last game that they played.
demoncleaner45 8 months ago
demoncleaner45 ......if I'm not mistaken this was in retaliation for Isiah questioning in a interview why he was left off the Dream Team when Stockton was selected who he considered himself better than.
I think that 44 pt. game vs. Utah by Isiah in the first time they met after this game.

For all of U idiot, uninformed kids on here talkin' shit about Malone and this play, it was in retaliation to what the Pistons did to Stockton in the previous game in Detroit that year.
If you'd actually lived thru that era & actually saw it, you'd know WTF you're talkin' about..

@blackadam06 Shut the fuck up faggot. Malone always throws intentional elbows like that. Not this one play, because he was making a play on the ball, but there has been MANY times over the years when he intentionally throws high elbows into people's faces.

"Malone always throws intentional elbows like that"
Aside from a FEW instances, SHOW ME where he "always" does this?
Like I said, if your dumb ass had actually seen this era, you'd know WHY he did that to Isiah..U stupid ass kids today are just arrogant & ignorant enough to presume to think that you're more qualified to tell older fans about an era of players that your lil young ass didn't even see!
No kid, U STFU!

Like I said, Isiah & other Pistons roughed up, cheap shot'd and injured Stockton in a game in Detroit earlier that season, that's why Malone did what he did..
People were sick of Detroit doing that to others, so he did something about it..

@tinmaddog16 From jones on the nba (dot) com
Isiah Thomas and Karl Malone Battle It OutLong story short: Isiah Thomas gets pissed that John Stockton made the Dream Team over him. In revenge, Thomas lights up Stockton for 44 points early in the season. A month later Karl Malone exacts his revenge on Thomas for lighting up his daisy duke wearing teammate.

I remember watching the game live. If anyone remembers at the time the Pistons were a bunch of bullies that were just as violent, and thats every day it seemed. The pistons played dirty game after game. No one really were to moved by Karl Malones foul. but listen to the piston's fans cry when Isiah gets a dose of their own medicine. If you dont want to take it dont dish it out. Karl malone is not someone you mess with anyway.
Dbusdriver71 8 months ago
Karl Malone is known for that type of dirty play style.He did it to Isiah,David Robinson and Joe Kline(name not sure of)probably more to.Karl Malone can get away with this since he is sending a message to the bad boy pistons,they have been known to do the same kind of crap.

@warheart999 LOL. Yup. I see a lot of round-table discussions debating the legacy of NBA players where lack of stiches come up as a major criteria for greatness.
Malone tried to get on the L.A. gravy train and win a title as an old man and then got pw3ned by Detroit AGAIN.

@boknowsbaseball yeah,karma is a bitch...Malone was one of the greatest anyways,even if sometimes he gave away a few cheap shots like the elbow in Nash's mouth

KARL MALONE...whenever forwards locked down his limited "2 move offense" or his team started to lose he would do some dirty shit and half the time he wouldn't even get ejected,I truly hated him for that...

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
Thomas was a huge racist, loud mouth, and cheap shot artist in his own right.
Malone was going for the block, when the ball was blocked by another player.
Die, Thomas. Just die. SO glad that the thuggery that was the Pistons will never live again.
That is all.
BaseFury 9 months ago 2
@BaseFury Haha. What team are you a fan of that Isiah's team beat? Bird's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, Jordan's Bulls -- they all had their turn losing to Detroit back in the day. In fact, the bad boys ended the party for both the Celtics and Lakers teams of the '80s.
boknowsbaseball 9 months ago
@boknowsbaseball At the Bulls peak they swept the Pistons 4-0 in the Eastern Conferce Finals of 1991. The Lakers and Celtics were just tired because they had been in every Conference Final or Nba Final for like 10 years straight. And yes, Stern pussified the league.
thewolfmanchu 8 months ago
@thewolfmanchu So the Pistons beating the Celtics and Lakers has been devalued because they were "tired"? I'm pretty sure if King Michael was the team to end those teams' runs, that wouldn't be the spin. And who's to say the Pistons weren't tired when the Bulls beat them?
