A ton of non hall of famers have their jersey retired. Sean Elliott from the Spurs for example, or Big Z.

It's not like Hamilton was only there for a couple of seasons either. He was on the team for 9 years with 3 of them being all star seasons. He was a huge part of their success.

Richard Hamilton is an interesting one. Three-time All-Star, indisposable to championship team, yet somehow kind of lacking the folklore players oftentimes hold when it comes to getting their jerseys up to the rafters. I'm wondering if his lack of a signature moment, combined with a contentious final couple of years in Detroit, might lead him to being overlooked to an extent.

Hamilton had a huge rift with the organization his last couple of season in Detroit. Things got ugly. I wouldn't hold my breath for a retirement ceremony.

Still can't believe that '04 Pistons squad beat the Lakers with Kobe/Shaq and company. That Piston's team was incredible.

Malone was injured. And Kobe and Shaq had some chemistry issues. Kobe wanted to win his first finals MVP, and it costed them the series. He should have feed the ball to Shaq.

And I had a Big Ben Wallace jersey a couple of years ago. Dude is the modern day Dennis Rodman. I think they are going to retire Hamilton's jersey if he makes amends with his former team.
