He was a Walking bucket in the clutch for the pistons! He's probably the only shooting guard in NBA history that can say he out played kobe in the finals 🏆that feat alone should get him in the HOF 😂
20 points on 49% from the field (mostly midrange keep in mind) and 46% from three (in an era where the 3 pointer wasn't as prominent). Rip would've been a problem in todays NBA
One of my favorite SG of all time. He was just so low key that he never got noticed. Really good shooter and scorer in his prime. And the name Rip is just hard. You should do Ron Harper next
He's not low key. It's just that most defenders didn't want to get exposed because their EGOS would be crushed through eating dirt. Remember it's not his midrange range shooting but it was his STAMINA and mobility that was the real problem. He has very good spatial awareness that's why he knew where to move iand position himself so his good pal Billups can make better judgement and calls.
When Saša Pavlović who spent almost 10 years in NBA was asked who was toughest player to guard?He simply replied Rip Hamilton, "He's a good shooter so they would run like 3 screens for him every time and 2 of those 3 screens were Ben and Rasheed Wallace, both using elbows."...Imagine the pain boys imagine the pain
@@birdman67g21 One of the most braindead stupid takes I've seen. What a crazy idea huh? It's almost like running plays and setting up your offense to give your best shooters open looks has historically been a pretty good team strategy or something like that, idk.
In my opinion, he’s one of the greatest second options in NBA history. Being a second option is one of the most overlooked and important roles in the NBA. People think it’s a bad thing, but Rip is truly one of the greatest at that role. He represents guys like Klay, prime Pau, and other second options that were the ex factors in getting their teams rings. Good teams have a primary superstar. The greatest teams always have an amazing second options
Prince destroyed prime Kobe in 04 finals and gets no credit. Ben slowed Shaq down, slightly... But Kobe got shut down completely. Don't give me, "the Lakers were feuding." It was the finals. They are professionals. Pistons were just top to bottom way more athletic and it showed
I sat right behind RIP in sports medicine as a hs freshman, his senior year. I beat him in knockout with a lucky half court shot off the backboard. He shook my hand and said " you're never going to forget that huh?". I love that guy. Coatesville F.O.E.!!!
Rip is definitely one of the most underrated players ever. If he plays in the league today, I think he might took many shots in a higher volume and hopefully he can improve on the defensive end.
Imagine you are a 10 year old boy and your father open tv to watch basketball then the first player you watch was Richard Hamilton not missing against the Pacers in 2003 ecf. And that makes me like basketball i even pattern my game after him and makes me two times varsity player in highschool. People say you can't succeed if you are not athletic if you are thin but what they don't know is you need heart and fundamentals more than physical tool and that what makes him a champion. Hamilton 32 no matter what era will always be no.1 player for me 🔥🔥🔥
To me he is one of the most underrated basketball players of my lifetime. To me he was the key reason the Pistols won their title and were competing for more. He was their most consistent scorer and was the guy on those teams that the defense had to game plan for with how great he was moving without the ball.
RIP was great enough to be an integral part of a 6x eastern conference finals team, a NBA champion, and a player with a retired jersey. He was never "the guy" but he's definitely one of Detroit's Finest.
Thanks Andy, love your vids. Rip Hamilton is one of the best off ball players of all time. Can you make a how good was David west next time? Have a nice day andy.
Rip has been my favorite player since i started watching basketball in 2003, Dude was such a baller now hes a class act kind of guy. Hes attended so many fundraisers and charitys in the community of detroit and other parts of michigan. The way he always played off the ball never being a selfish player always in motion he would tire out the other guards in the league by half time, then rip and chauncey would go to work on them in the 2nd half, Can't forget tayshaun and the wallaces but everyone on that team played perfectly with eachother we had such smart players on the bench in elden cambell lindsey hunter darvin dunkin ham the pistons knew how to make a team back then and it really showed with the players hard work and will to want to win. I dont think rip would have been the player he was with any other team than that pistons roster, Was sad to see them fall apart after ben signed with the bulls. We havent had another player like rip or reggie miller in the league since and i dont think we will ever see another player who goes out and works that hard again. Shoutout to my boy richard RIP hammmmilllton
Rip was really good his midrange shot looked good everytime it left his hands only thing is he wasn't as good a 3point shooter as he should have been but he was a decent slasher
I'll remember rip for mainly two things: He was CLUTCH in every way. Not just game winners, but he got buckets anytime your team needed it. Down by 8 and game slipping away? Rip hits back-to-back threes and you're right back in it. Also is insane STAMINA is only rivaled by guys like Iverson and Rodman. He essentially never got tired out there. Some guys can Make it through playing 48 minutes in a single game, but he would be out there still at 99.5% energy, sprinting Non-Stop and bouncing around screens.
One word. Underrated. He's not like top 5, top 10 or maybe even top 20 SG, but still he's underrated. A lot of new NBA fans does not even know that he existed.
d wade vs rip in the 05 and 06 east finals rip vs duncan in the finals of 05 and kobe vs rip in the 04 finals the mid range assassins I called those duels...it was so fun to see such talented mid range shooters go at it
RIP was a very good guard. He moved without the ball, had great stamina, endurance he could run all day at Ash Park. Loved that midrange game. RIP Hamilton is a guy you could win with.
He is a great mid-range shooter and I enjoyed the time when I watched him and the Detroits beating Lakers hard while I was having delicious dumplings LoL.
@@radboy490 i see. I didn't watch that year's final but I did hear that was a very intense and defensive final series. That is probably why Duncan is surely the hall of fame but Rasheed Wallace is not.
I've modeled my game after Rip. I run my opponent down until they can't keep up and take easy mid range shots off of ball screens. It's a recipe for success.
rip was actually really really good! he tires defenders by running through picks and screens, curling and everything just like reggie miller while shooting it in mid range.(the only difference between the 2).
Rip Hamilton is one of the best players of all time. Top 100 easily. There are some good, long form highlight videos from his time at UConn here on UA-cam as well which are so insane you gotta check them out. Just bucket, after bucket.
I remember in the 2006 playoff series vs Bucks where my guy Michael Redd scores 40 points on them in game three and Rip came back in game 4 and put up 40 points of his own.
that 05 pistons team would of repeated if not for the mallace at the palace and horry and then if they repeat they keep brown and three peat and keep ben as the 06 team was their best one..what could of been
fuck him and joe smith lol.... when you come out of college like jamison did its hard to say he was underrated after he under performed his whole nba career
his midrange catch-and-shoot after running and curling around everyone else was so satisfying to watch... oh, and his free throw ritual/animation is money on all 2K games...
I just played a old game in ps3 and played as that old Piston team.... Rip was on fire! Just very funny you post this vid right after....( twilight zone music)
This dude was a 2pts shooter machine, relentless and with insane mobility around the course. As a Spurs fan I grew up hatin' on this Pistons team so much, and Rick Hamilton was the main reason for it. That Piston team had great names as you mention in the video, but I'd take Hamilton over the rest of the team any day, that's how good of a scorer he was on his prime.
Thanks for giving some love to the pistons. I want the NBA to show the game when we held the lakers below 70 in the finals on the streams they’ve been doing lately but it probably won’t happen because they’re too busy showing all the playoff games that we lost...
When I watch Klay Thompson play, her reminds me A LOT of Rip. I'm a Pistons fan so that's naturally the first shooter that comes to my mind. But after watching Rip play all of those years, you saw just how little Rip had to dribble which was awesome to see. It meant he could spend his energy on getting in position and defense. Also saved energy for the rest of the team on defense as well since all they had to do was pick for him on offense.
Life long warrior bull fan here but shoutout rip and rasheed and that whole D team there. I lnow your first language isn’t english uploader but good video! Love from Japan mayne.
He is unquestionably better than several who were in the hall. No doubt about it. Proof? Bill Bradley, Jamaal Wilkes, Ralph Sampson. Even McGinnis & Haywood are very questionable imo. Very much.
Rip Hamilton is one of my influences in the game of basketball is his excellence in off-ball movement, change of speed using screens, and most of all, his mastery in catch and shoot in the mid-range area. It's just sad how underrated he and his game are, especially in this three-point era. If only players today could see the beauty of his game and emulate it, it would be impossible for him to be on the bench.
Rip was a great cog in a great system in Detroit. He was a true mid-range shooter, and off the ball savant. A side note; I saw Rip once in person during his playing days, at a grocery store in LA, and he wasn't friendly at all. I said hello to him at point blank range, and not even a hello or head-nod reciprocated from him.
Rip’s play making abilities opened up so much. I really wish he would’ve opted out a year sooner. He would have been on that Mavericks team that beat the Heat. Mark Cuban was trying to get that done.
Do "How Good was Andre Miller actually?" dude was underrated af.
I think he did already
@@marcsreel_ no he didn't
average player not too bad not too good. so I think he’s rated correctly
Devastating in the post against other guards. Dude had the ultimate old man game, played till he was over 40.
