Michael Jordan retired from professional basketball with six championship rings. Almost every NBA fan knows that Jordan has never lost in the NBA Finals and that he has a perfect record at this stage.

However, long before Jordan became the champion, he struggled to get past the first round. The Detroit Pistons were one of his biggest foes and the Chicago Bulls just couldn't get past them.

MJ wanted to beat the Pistons so badly that he even yelled at his teammates. Here is an excerpt from "The Jordan Rules," a book by Sam Smith:

"At halftime of Game 2, with the Bulls trailing 53-38, Jordan walked into the quiet locker room, kicked over a chair, and yelled, ‘We’re playing like a bunch of p***ies!'”

Having been down 0-1 in the series, the Bulls needed to win Game 2 and tie the series. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't get the job done as the Pistons ended up defending their home court.
