Bad Boys plot
"Sometimes you gotta be bad to be good"
Few professional sports teams arouse such a wide range of feelings as the Detroit Pistons from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Placed between the dominance of the Lakers and the Celtics in the 1980s and the Bulls in the 1990s, the two titles of the Pistons in 1989 and 1990 is often seen as a transition period in NBA history and not as a dynamic championship period in its own right. But anyone who has seen the Bad Boys in action recognizes that they have acquired an identity of their own, both in the competition and in American popular culture. This documentary reveals the untold story of one of the most unique championship teams in NBA history.
