In the hours leading to his coronation as Pistons royalty, the tears fell as often for Rip Hamilton as his jump shot did all those seasons when The Palace throbbed with the pulse of an NBA championship contender. “I already cried three times today,” he said an hour before the Pistons and Celtics game and the halftime ceremony where his No. 32 was run to the rafters to join Ben Wallace’s No. 3 and Chauncey Billups’ No. 1.
Of the five starters inextricably linked for life, all but Prince began their NBA careers elsewhere. It made them that much more aware and appreciative of the special bond they formed here. Rip said he talks to other players who won championships and asks how often they connect with their teammates. “Some haven’t talked in 10 or 15 years,” he said. “Man, we talk two or three times a week.”
