Detroit Pistons: The All-time most hated team

Point Guard: Micheal Jordan

The All-Pistons hated team gets an unconventional first look. Micheal Jordan was a shooting guard, standing at 6-foot-6. He never really played point guard during his career, but he still ran the Bulls’ offense and led them to six championships. It may not be his natural position, but I think the Greatest of All Time can make a small adjustment.

Jordan was a known Piston hater. He allegedly kept Thomas off the 1992 Olympic Dream Team just because he didn’t like him. There is no doubt that Thomas is a better player than Clyde Drexler and John Stockton, but Jordan got what he wanted. Was this just a rumor? Maybe, but it created a lot of anger in Detroit regardless.

His Airness still hates the Pistons that he had to go up against, 30 years later. I have news for you, Micheal: we aren’t fans of yours, either.
