The Bulls-Pistons rivalry originated in the 1970''s and was most intense in the late 1980s - early 1990''s, a period when the Chicago Bulls'' superstar, Michael Jordan, was evolving into one of the league''s best players and when the Detroit Pistons were becoming a major playoff contender. This rivalry was one of the fiercest during its early period, mostly due to the dynamics between Michael Jordan and the "Bad Boy" Pistons, led mostly by Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer.
