Laimbeer has had a fine basketball career in the NBA, overcome physical
deficits (can't run fast, couldn't jump well etcc) but he became a joint
force in this league. Yet his first year joining the Pistons he elevated
their interest and in the short years after made them sternly
competitive along with little big man Isaiah Thomas. Bill could rebound
and trigger outlet passes, played excellent position defense, and had a
more than adequate jump shot to go along with a boastering bellowing
never say die/quit attitude. He won two titles with the Pistons as a
player and after retiring won two more championships with Detroit's own
womens basketball team the Shock. But the true SHOCK is why hasn't
Davison and Dumars given Billy the opportunity to coach the talent
infected Pistons today? This current Piston roster for the last three or
four seasons shouldn't have been denied access to at least the NBA
finals those years in a row, especially considering how weak the East
cast of players and teams have been during the same period.
That window is closing slowly, and what did Joe do? He put no thought
into placing Michael (couldn't do it right) Curry in charge. I remember
a few years ago with Jalen Rose was lighting Curry up and me an my boy
were on Rose's nuts as Phd says, then Curry came over upset and
asked..."could we show him some of that same love"... to which we
replied, yeah when you learn shoot cause your rep' for D has been
exploited! ON RECORD again, just as I was for Saunders, we won't win
an NBA championship with Curry holding the whip!
But I will say this,,,Sheed if he remains will have a stellar season,
contract up and he gets to play for a black coach with his former white
roomate as an assistant coach.
