PISTONS OWNER BILL DAVIDSON SAYS REFS ARE CROOKED

More from A. Isaac

Hey, if I was about to go into the Basketball Hall of Fame, I’d take some pot shots at the NBA too.

Some excerpts….

On refs


Well, I look for certain things, which are mainly fouls … and, unfortunately, the referees are not what they should be — although they’re getting better. So I watch the referees. I watch who they are. There are certain referees — when they come to our game — you know you’re gonna lose. And that should never be.

~Bill Davidson

On the 1988 NBA Finals…

Well, the worst loss was out in L.A. (in 1988) when I was in the room with David Stern getting ready to accept the trophy, and they call a foul on Bill Laimbeer against Kareem. Bill pulled down a clean rebound, and Hugh Evans calls a foul. You know that he was set up, and you know … I don’t say he had a bet on the game, but that was … that was unconscionable! And that cost us a championship, which we should have had. Which we had.

~Bill Davidson

Finally, somebody brings up that stupid phantom foul on Bill Laimbeer. The worst call in NBA history. No other call directly effected a championship more than that.

I’ll admit, as an eight year old, I cried when the Pistons lost. Yea, go ahead, call me a baby.

But that championship was stolen.

They were stealers. You will never convince me otherwise.

    I’m right with you and Mr. D on the phantom call.

    Can you magine how storied Isiah’s 25 points in the 3rd on the mangled ankle would be if that call isn’t made and the Pistons are popping champagne bottles?

    On pre-game activities from the 1988 NBA Finals…

    The make-out sessions between Isiah and Magic were amazingly hot. Replays of their kisses are the equivalent of Viagra to my poor old half boners.
