Detroit Pistons legend Joe Dumars has given his two cents worth on what has been the talk of the town of late: the intense rivalry between Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and the Pistons during the late-1980’s and early-1990’s. This was brought about by Sunday’s episodes of The Last Dance docuseries, which centers around the same. Dumars went on The Odd Couple Podcast and talked about that controversial walk-off after one of the most heated matchups between the Pistons and the Bulls. According to Dumars, it was his instinct to just shake Michael Jordan’s hand after the Bulls had just eliminated them from the Eastern Conference Finals. “It never even dawned on me to not shake their hands,” the former Pistons guard explained. “Previous years we had beaten them, and we had ended their season. I can just tell you that every single time that we eliminated them, Mike found me, shook my hand, just whispered, ‘Tough battle. Great battle. Good luck in the Finals.’ So when we were walking off, I saw him. I stopped and said the exact same thing to him.”
