The intangible value of being tough in the NBA can either make or break a championship run for a team. Bill Laimbeer and the “bad boy” Pistons ran off that fuel of being tough. Dennis Rodman and Charles Oakley established careers and earned rings with that similar play style. Those who undervalue that strength have underestimated some of the greatest players and teams of all time. Detroit and Chicago are tough just like Laimbeer and Rodman. Houston is a beautifully tenacious city, almost demanding that same sense of tenacity from its team and players.
