ever notice that the only way pistons can win is thru the use of thugs? lambeer, rodman, agguire, etc in the late 80s- and the jerks they have now.
Mark Aguire was no thug. He may very well have been a jerk (and acted like it several times as a Maverick), but he was not a thug.
If anything, many Mavs fans would have preferred he be a little nastier on the court than he actually was.
