Rip Hamilton coming up on His & Hers (ESPN2)

[UCHuskies08]

They keep teasing that he has a 'big announcement'

 

[coachcap]

officially retires from NBA

 

[UCHuskies08]

Not surprisingly - Rip announced his retirement from the NBA

 

[James]

I was at UConn all three of his years. He hasn't played in a while, but the official retirement stings more than I would have expected.

 

[Kitaman]

He broke our virginity especially JC's. Will never be forgotten or replaced.

Sorry Ray, but collegiate speaking "Rip was the Man!"

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Pretty surprised at that record. Would've guessed Dumars and Isaiah.

 

[Joobie]

I'm gonna miss watching Rip & Ray chase each other around the court, tho it has been a few years. I kept hoping...

Congrats on a GREAT career Rip from Storrs to the NBA. One of my favorites no doubt and we have a clone on the roster as we speak.

 

[James]

 

[Kitaman]

One of my favorites no doubt and we have a clone on the roster as we speak.

Mau too early LOL, let him deliver a Ship (or FF) first until then:

 

[RichZ]

Maybe he can come and teach Purvis how to make a free throw.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Oh, obligatory "Hamilton.... HAMILTON!"

 

[Stainmaster]

In before someone suggests that hiring him as an assistant coach is the answer to our recruiting woes.

It's not happening.

 

[superjohn]

The playoff battles between Ray and Rip and Ray and Gordon were unreal to watch as a UConn fan.

 

[donyell34]

Yes!! Love Rip always a Husky. Man how time flies.

 

[ElGuapo]

I was at a apartment party the summer of 1996 and my buddy and I were hanging out in the kitchen.
Rip was in there being very tall, not ripped and young.
We started talking to him and he said he was at UConn to play basketball that coming Fall.
Nice kid. We chatted it up some and wished him luck.

Whodathunk?
