Hamilton and Billups was perhaps the best back court in NBA history. Billups handled the ball and shot threes; Rip didn't need to dominate the ball to score and was the master of the short jumper coming off screens. Both could finish at the rim. Breaking up this pairing sent the Pistons into a decline from which they have yet to recover. Cost Dumars his job. And really hurt Rip's shot at Hall of Fame.
