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