The Detroit Pistons have honored two of the greatest Pistons of all-time–on one of the best Pistons’ teams of all-time–in Ben Wallace and Chauncey Bullups, by retiring their jerseys this season.
But those won’t be the only two Pistons getting their jersey retired from the 2004 championship team.
First Ben. Then Mr. Big Shot.
Chauncey Billups was the picture of eloquence.
But perhaps Rip Hamilton matched his passion.
Before the Palace crowd hung on every word from Billups during the Piston great’s jersey retirement ceremony, Hamilton was the handpicked teammate from the 2004 world champions to help introduce the man of the hour Wednesday night.
