Isiah’s snub of MJ in the 1984 NBA All Star Game.

Rick Mahorn tossing Doug Collins into the stands during a 1988 fight at the old Chicago Stadium.

The formation and implementation of “The Jordan Rules.”

All the cheap shots from Bill Laimbeer and future Bull Dennis Rodman.

Scottie Pippen’s migraine in Game Seven of the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals.

The three straight series losses to Detroit in the playoffs.

Eighteen years ago today, the Chicago Bulls finally got past the obstacle that had been the hated Detroit Pistons.

The Bulls not only ended the Pistons’ reign over them, they completely obliterated it with a dominating 115-94 victory in Game Four that capped a dynasty-defining sweep of the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals.

The two-time defending champion Pistons would be champions no more.

A new dog had arrived in the Eastern Conference and would go out on top 6 times in 8 years.

The Bulls had finally broken through against the Pistons.

It’s safe to say Memorial Day 1991 was one of the happiest days of my young life.

Seeing Chicago dismantle the Pistons and watching Detroit walk off the court with no class was confirmation of every reason why I loved the Bulls and hated the Bad Boys.

Dominating from start to finish in Game Four, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and the rest of the 1991 Bulls were able to finally get past the mind games and physical play of a Detroit team that not only looked old but proved themselves to be sore losers.

Rodman would throw Pippen into the baseline stands in Game Four, but the Bulls wouldn’t retaliate.

Deep down, both teams knew that the Pistons couldn’t compete with Chicago anymore.

Such cheap shots were all that the Pistons had left to rely on; Chicago wasn’t biting as bigger things were in store.

What a glorious day.

Sure, the Bulls would bring the first of six titles to Chicago in roughly 10 days.

To me, defeating Detroit in Game Four at the House of Horrors — the Palace of Auburn Hills — was as satisfying and maybe even more so than winning the 1991 NBA Finals.

Nearly 20 years later, these videos make me feel like a giddy 9-year-old all over again.
