The $500K Bounty to Break Michael Jordan’s Ribs | The Bad Boys Era Exposed#nba #foryou #usa

How dirty were the Detroit Pistons back then?
Starting in 1988, rumors spread that the Pistons put a $500,000 bounty on breaking Michael Jordan’s ribs. For three straight years, they bullied the Bulls out of the playoffs — elbows, chokeholds, and cheap shots became part of the “Jordan Rules.”

Led by Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, and a young Dennis Rodman, the Pistons turned basketball into war.
Jordan got beaten down, Pippen concussed, and the Bulls nearly broken — until that pain forged the dynasty that would change basketball forever.
