Was up on Youtube looking at highlight videos of Rip Hamilton....back in the 2000s everyone's favorite player was either Kobe or Tmac....but Mine was Rip...that nikkas was just the embodiment of cool. Everybody was getting braids cause Iverson but nah I was getting my hair braided because of Rip. Remember learning about him in 2001 cause he played with MJ on the Wizards....that was such a fun team to watch.
Then he went to Detroit and the iconic mask came about..and all all b-ball heads know how iconic that 2004 series he had against Kobe was
Long hair don't care was doing the damn thing, me and my braids was watching that shyt glued to the TV
:jbdreadsgang:
So when it was announced he was joining the Bulls after the lockout ended in 2012 yall couldn't imagine my levels of hype. nikkas on InsideHoops and RealGM roast my ass for thinking a old Rip Hamilton was the piece D.Rose needed to finally beat Lebron...but I was a believer
:jbdreadsgang:
My childhood favorite player teaming up with my new favorite....was a dream come true. But then 2012 happened, we all know what happened


For yall non B-ball folks reading this dude

is steve francis who at his prime was very similar to D-Rose.....but he started smoking crack and shyt. I don't know whats worse, smoking crack or going thru the shyt pooh went thru
:lebrondamson:
