Alright there’s a pattern coming along. It’s apparently that time to start honouring the 04 Pistons. But what will be interesting is who they’ll leave out. They have done Ben Wallace first which we can all agree with. They recently did Chauncey Billups, again we can all agree.
And now it’s time for number 32, of course I’m talking about Richard ‘Rip’ Hamilton who will be next up for Detroit Pistons jersey retirement.
No date has been set but Richard Hamilton will be the next Piston from the 2004 NBA championship team to have his jersey retired, No. 32, according to a person with firsthand knowledge of the organization’s thinking.
Now here’s the thing. Have you noticed that they’re doing these at the same time as Detroit’s rise? Just when they become a legitimate Playoff team they’re now retiring the 04 jerseys.
And also, the question now is, will they do Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince? If you’re going to go three you got to finish the starting 5. That would be awkward if one is left out. I think we all know that Prince is borderline. Sheed will get it but some people will probably say no when it comes to Tayshaun Prince.
