Lots of revisionist history going on around here. I have seen some people comment about how Draymond is worse than Laimbeer. Not the this isn't a defense of Draymond,he is scum. This it rather a reminder of how Laimbeer is in another level in terms of dirtiness.

Man had enough game he didn't need all that BS but he knew it won games, made him rich and famous too.

Laimbeer actually grew up extremely wealthy anyway. Him coming from such a privileged background was part of the reason he was hated so much.

Recognize that he was also a very good defender and the prototype of the 3nD big we see today.

Yeah he was actually a very good player not just the stereotypical enforcer there only to give hard fouls. Laimbeer just loved being the heel though and went out of his way to play dirty so that’s what his legacy became.
