Rip Hamilton may not have played a game in the NBA since 2013, but the former 2004 NBA Champion with the Detroit Pistons has officially announced that he is retiring from active competition.
Hamilton was the seventh pick overall out of the University of Connecticut where he won the NCAA Title, won the Final Four MVP and was a two time Big East Player of the Year. Drafted by the Washington Wizards and in his third and final year with Washington averaged 20 Points per Game.
He would be traded to the Detroit Pistons and continue posting solid numbers and would go to three consecutive All Star Games from 2006 to 2008 and would have two seasons with Detroit scoring over 20 Points per Game. In addition to his Championship Ring in 2004 where he had a 21.5 PPG in the Playoffs.
Hamilton would be waived by the team in 2010, and would find his way to the Chicago Bulls where he would play his final three seasons until he was waived by the team in 2013. He has been a Free Agent until he retired formally today.
Overall in his career, Rip Hamilton averaged 19.1 Points per Game with a PER of 16.5. We would like to tank Hamilton for his career and we will be ranking him accordingly once eligible.
