He acquired the pieces and the players did the rest. McCloskey was the man behind the wheel who put the Pistons in their perfect position to succeed. Jack McCloskey was infamous for his trading thus given his nickname "Trader Jack". I hope you find it interesting learning about the members of this legendary team and where the players are now. Since this era can't be covered with one single roster for the "Bad Boys", I will be listing the most important players who once played for the "Bad Boys", even if they weren't all on the Pistons simultaneously. This list consists of members of the "Bad Boy" Pistons, their head coach and General Manager. Nonetheless, the Pistons and the Bulls each had their grips on the NBA, just at separate times. This created one of the greatest rivalries in sports, with Jordan eventually conquering the Pistons. These rules consisted of double teaming whenever he touched the ball and when he drove to the basket, and to body him up and get rough with him. "The Jordan Rules" are what they used to stop him. They stopped a player that was supposed to be unstoppable in Michael Jordan. To show how tough this team really was, just look at how they beat the Bulls. Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars comprised a dominant backcourt, which was one of the best in the league at the time. Not only were the Pistons bolstering with tough enforcers in the paint, but they also had extremely skilled perimeter players.
Whether you love them or hate them, they were undeniably "gamers." With brutal players like Rick Mahorn, John Salley, Dennis Rodman, Bill Laimbeer, and more, the Pistons struck fear into the opponent's eyes as soon as they entered the arena. Some of the measures they took may have been a bit too drastic, but when you think back, it really was the heyday of the NBA. The "Bad Boy" Pistons were the toughest NBA team in their day.
