It's no secret that Michael Jordan<\/a> hated the Detroit Pistons<\/a> back in the day and probably still does given the way the six-time NBA champion<\/a> holds a grudge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, Jordan and the Chicago Bulls<\/a> famously struggled to get past the Pistons in the NBA playoffs as the “Bad Boys” would figuratively and literally beat up on MJ as he attempted to take his team to the next level by using a strategy known as the “Jordan Rules.” But everyone knows that, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what you may not know is that the “Jordan Rules” were created after MJ once torched the Pistons for 59 points on Easter Sunday in 1988, a year in which the future six-time champ won his first NBA MVP, which led Detroit head coach Chuck Daly to implement the strategy as he knew he'd be seeing Jordan and the Bulls down the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with it being Easter Sunday, we thought we'd take a look at the Michael Jordan performance that led to the creation of those “Jordan Rules.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
