In an effort to get myself through the NBA offseason I always tend to revert back to old videos I have collected or watch the old games I have on DVR or DVD. While scouring my computer today I found this clip and all the sudden I was taken back to the 1990 Pistons Bulls playoff series. I remember both the 1989 and 90 battles like they were yesterday but watching this clipped sparked a little memory I had from game 7 at the Palace in 1990.

I Remember the game vividly because I was at the Palace that night. I remember Johns Salley’s performance and I distinctly remember the celebration of being the eastern conference champs getting ready to head off to the NBA Championship for the second season in a row. (Back2Back I still have that t-shirt)
I also had a memory of two player that you may or may not remember. William Bedford and the Bulls B.J. Armstrong.
Bedford turned out to be of the biggest disappointments, a 7 footer with much potential and two NBA championship rings (thanks to Detroit) who sadly squandered his talents because of a drug problem.
B.J. Armstrong was Michigan bred and went the Birmingham Brother Rice high school. I will always remember how small he seemed to me (6″2) on court and always amazed in the fact that he was right across the way while I attended school.
Any special moments you remember distinctly?
