I Heart Rip Hamilton

Random basketball content - I'm watching the Pistons v. the Pacers and rooting for the Pistons. Why? Well, I've enjoyed the Wallace Boys for a while, but really, it's Rip Hamilton - the guy's got 28 points with half of the 3rd quarter to go, and I don't think he's actually had his hands on the ball for more than 30 seconds total. I've never seen anyone move without the ball as well as this guy. Wow.

Posted by: ar at June 19, 2004 07:39 PM

Rip Hamilton is so sexy...I love him and his face mask.

Posted by: Dimples at June 19, 2004 09:19 PM

Oh yeah...I'm a real SISTA and I know how to cook!!!

Posted by: Dimples at June 19, 2004 09:21 PM

Stephane, how could a person meet Richard???? Is he nice??? What does he like to do for fun?????? Don't know if I would like him but why not try????

Posted by: Billye at June 23, 2004 02:11 PM

why's yall on his back like that ,yall need to step back and take a seat. Stephane, I agree with you on the white gurls, cause they need to calm down. I bet and I know Rip gon have a black woman as his gurl. So lil gurls yall need to calm down , because Im sure Hamilton is already tooken and he aint thinking about none of you donkey gurls. So groupies , I advise you, to calm down, step back and sit down.

Posted by: Britney at June 23, 2004 03:09 PM

hey i met rip hamilton at the Pistons Rally. he's a really nice guy. my cousin's god father is Lindsey Hunter (you probably think i'm lying but if thats what you wanna believe then go a head)plus my dad is a press worker for the Detroit Pistons and the palace. but ne ways if you gurls like and adore rip thats fine there's nothing wrong with that! its supporting him and the Pistons!

Posted by: Detroit Pistons Fan at June 26, 2004 12:38 AM

Out of all the fans Rip have, how did you get that close to meet him, do you know anything about him ,like where he live , what kind of car he drives , do he has a girlfriend.

Posted by: Britney at June 26, 2004 03:20 PM

why do white women think it's ok to date a black man if he's a ball player or a rapper, but not the average guy? You guys don't even know if he's a nice person. He might be a jerk, but b/c he's a baller you're willing to do anything! I was downtown last weekend and he showed up to a club and the groupie action was ridiculous. I'm suprised he could breathe. Then when we left the club, there were more white women than I have ever seen downtown Detroit in my entire life! They were half-naked and shameless.

Posted by: Phatty at June 30, 2004 09:05 PM

Phatty, what club was he at?? I know he goes to "Sevin" a lot, but that's in Pontiac.

Posted by: Tatyana at June 30, 2004 11:23 PM

Hi, Ricky is fantabulous! His unprejudicial nature is one of his most attractive qualities. I must admit, he is in the best shape of anyone in the nba. As an Afr. American woman, I LOVE that man!! His intelligent/down to earth, attributes are the qualities that drew me to him. His gorgeous huge eyes were the first.(: Until I hear him fess up to having a woman, RICK IS MY MAN! I always cook for him.(: RIP, talk to us, baby! YOU ARE LOVED!

Posted by: Marie C. at July 1, 2004 12:12 PM

Tatyana, I was at Half past 3, located downtown Detroit. I was also at The Blue Martini in Bloomfield one Thursday night when he popped up. But Tatyana, I would waste my time if I were you. Too many groupies to count!! Just from observation, it seems he's still in the stage where he's enjoying the groupie love. Given him about 10 years. He's only in his mid-20s. That's still a very immature stage for a man-any man.

Posted by: Phatty at July 1, 2004 04:31 PM

Sorry.
I meant to say "I wouldn't waste my time"
Typo :-)

Posted by: Phatty at July 1, 2004 04:37 PM

Rip, YES SIR, BABY! I know, it's post season and all. Congratulations on the victory. Nobody does it better! I watched you on the Fox Sports Piston Season Review. You're still a fox, my fox. Hope you sat out on your patio deck, this
Fourth Of July, pigged out on bar-be-cue and savored the flavor of having a championship ring. Can't wait til we do it again. Hey! Why don't you and Chauncey give another party. This time, have it at one of the clubs in Downtown Detroit. I'm still awaiting my head band.(: Bring it when you come to my bar-be-cue. E-mail me.

Desire and Love Ya Always,

Hi Rip, You are the best! I'm such an admirer of yours. Any man, that at only 26, has such a warm, caring nature, is undoubtedly an angel, my angel. I kiss and applaud you. I've been digging you for years. You know that, no groupie blood in this body-only love. You know that, too. No hidden agenda. Got My Own Money! "When I look at you, I want you, honey. Don't need money." Yes Sir, Baby! I envision a repeat! E-mail me.(:

I just wanted to know whats good in Detroit? I just moved here from Pennsylvania and have no idea where the hot spots are- can anyone give me an idea of what goes on in the area?

Posted by: PhiladelphiaRose at July 11, 2004 04:26 PM

RIP you're the man! I fall in love, more and more, each time I see you. Ricky baby, my birthday is at the end of July. I would love to hear from or see you. U know where to find me. We've got a lot to talk about. Leos and Aquarius's go together swimmingly. You're aware of that, though. Hope to hear from you soon. I'll leave you with another song quote, "Let's Pretend we're married and go all night...Marry Me, yeah that's right, marry me." His Run Makes The Lion Roar...

Kisses, Lisa

Posted by: L. Chablis at July 11, 2004 09:27 PM

Hmm. Interesting. I simply must post. I too am a groupie for Rippy like 99.9% of you posting. Let's join together and maybe he will sleep with us all at the same time. Then, we all can say "Rip, it's me...email me, I know you luv me"

I think we all love him because of his dedication, hard work, and cuteness. Let me ask you this, Do you love a man who is a dog? Do you love a man because he is "important" and it makes you feel important? Just some things to ask yourselves in general. Not that Rip is a dog..but he could be and not nah one of you would mind...consider what matters when your life is over.
Back to Rip. I'm just so happy the Pistons beat LA...it's like 1989 all over again!! GO PISTONS. STAY DOWN WHORES. (p.s. I'm not white. I do love white people, but it is true. White women who go after black men have agendas...it's not a good idea...trust me)
PPS (lisa, girl, honey...get a serious grip off rip's jock)

Posted by: Luckbalade at July 12, 2004 01:15 AM

Hey girls I admire everything you say about rip but I bet you don't one personal thing about him. Just to let you young little girls know he is now taken. It's been under wrap for a long time. Lets see for about 9y years. We've known each other for years. We live together in michagin. I bet none of you his birthday how old he is where he was born his highschool basketball coach his favorite food his moms name his middle name. I bet none of you girls know any of that. Oh and for all the black girls out there richard didn't pick a pure black girl to be his. He picked a interacial girl. And he is all for interacial relation ships. Pluse he can't resist my warm honey skin color. So before any of you girls think for one minute that he is yours and think that he only goes for just black girls remember what I just said. Plus he loves his fans and his groupise most of the time. When I come in everyday to right wut the girls wrote about my man i just laugh because i am the only one who he gives it to everynight and his chef is right.One more tiny thing rip comes in everyday and reads your letters he is very flattered and disgusted.

Posted by: Khristina at July 12, 2004 12:08 PM

ROTFLMAO!! This is hilarious! Very funny!

Posted by: A. at July 12, 2004 01:03 PM

Hi, I don't see how RIP can ever get disgusted by his legions of fans and groupies. It's only a sincere form of flattery. If he had no fans or groupies, it'd mean he wasn't remarkable at his job, and...THAT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE!
Oh, now he has a woman? I do love and respect him enough to chill on my feelings, if that's the case.
However, I have to hear it from my honey love's mouth,first. Why didn't he bring her(his lady love)to the Piston rally or parade? Tayshaun brought his, and let us all know that he has a girlfriend.
Love and respect is the key to any strong relationship. Race should never be a factor. To quote a former friend, "I don't care if you're black, white, red or polka dot."
I'm sure, I'm a tad older than most of you. Our affection for RIP is our common denomenator. He and The Detroit Pistons have brought Detroiters together in a beautiful way. I applaud his style, effort and sinew. Keep up the good work, Ricky. I'll still be dreaming and fantasizing about you, babe.

Love Always,
Desire Lisa Chablis G.

Posted by: L. Chablis at July 12, 2004 02:50 PM

Sure, at first most men don't consider race or background..they think about looks and how u make them feel. But when problems hit, when the kids come, when the honeymoon is over IT IS BEST to have somebody just like you on your side. Life is hard enuff with parents of the same race-enuff said there. Just a bit of wisdom for you children
IF anybody on this page HAS Rip, but still feels the need to post about it is either lying or lame...

Posted by: ohwhatfun at July 12, 2004 08:48 PM

HAH-HAH!!

I love when females think they have a man coz they know little facts about him!!! LOL LOL

Everybody with the internet knows when Rip's bday is. Anybody who has been his lover of 9 years is being played like a fiddle!!!
I like that homegirl simply told you so sweetly...we didn't see you at the rally.... CLASSIC!
U all r fun...Lisa is a hoot. Hey, Lisa, I thought Rip was your man! You better fight girl!

Posted by: 4real at July 12, 2004 08:53 PM

Khristina!
Honey, catch a clue. If you are gonna make up stories to post, have your stuff right, it makes it more entertaining...okay? The "chef" said she is the closest thing to this woman...how can somebody be flattered and disgusted...
seriously, for the sake of my entertainment after a long day of work...post more responsibly. Thanks.
HEY LISA!! your website rocks! tell us more about your book

OH yeah...i luv u rip

Posted by: last person who posted at July 12, 2004 08:59 PM

Khristina, please read this together with Rip when you guys are cuddled up in front of the internet every night...if Rip is truly your man, you need to tell him to have more respect for you and ease up on the groupie love. You wouldn't want to be caught in a Magic Johnson/Cookie Johnson situation, now would you?
And you need to ease up on the attitude and the 'interracial' thing-so what! Everybody is from mixed hertitage now-a-days!!! Get a grip sistagirl.

Posted by: Phatty at July 12, 2004 10:35 PM

This thread is the funniest. Phatty rocks.

Posted by: R at July 14, 2004 12:42 AM

Khristina,
First of all you need Jesus and spell check, second if Rip is disgusted by anything its nasty emails from girls like you. If you were really woman enough to keep a wonderful anointed man like Rip and really respected and loved him like a real woman should you would not be disrespecting him and talking dirty about him like that. I don't know everything about him but I met his mother in the parking lot after the Rally at The Palace and I know that he is a Godly man who deserves more respect than that. And as a true fan and sister in Christ I am offended. Boys might date or lay fuck bitches(please forgive the language but that was the best description I could think of) but they take good woman home to their mothers before they marry them. His mother strikes me as a good woman that does not want trash in her family and Oh yeah she raised him with a good church upbringing so I am sure who ever he chooses has to be on the same page. Remember sex isn't everything to everyone like it is to you obviously. I'll be praying for your soul meanwhile go find a good church home, also thou shalt not lie is still one of the ten commandments. I love Rip because he I can see he has a beautiful spirit and a good loving, charitable heart. I hope and pray he finds the right Godly woman who God intends for him to be with who can really love him the way he needs to be loved and not just because of his fame and money and can make him really happy. If he worked at McDonalds and still gave his all to help other people how would you feel about being with him forever.

Posted by: SweetSpirit at July 14, 2004 01:47 AM

Love ya Rip, go with God always.

Posted by: Sweetspirit at July 14, 2004 01:50 AM

Sweet Spirit summed it up so beautifully. Watching and reading certain interviews he has done, and hearing about all the ways in which he uses his time and resources for charitable causes you can discern that he has a wonderful spirit. He seems like a very genuine person. Hopefully when he does decide to choose a "queen" it will be someone with the same qualities he possesses. As a fan, that's what I'm hoping for (instead of wishful thinking) I'm glad I ran into this message board because it is very "entertaining" to say the least.

Posted by: Hollywood n the D at July 14, 2004 12:13 PM

Hey Rip! Love Ya dearly. To quote another song lyric, "I will cross an ocean for you. For You, I WILL." Having all these personalities help me play defense on this b-ball game.((-: I'm joking, baby. My first romance novel is entitled, "Precious Jewel." Please purchase it. It's available at most book stores and from: Amazon.com
It's a superb epic about a dysfunctional Detroit family and their gorgeous son. He loves basketball, but an illness alters his plans to play. However, music and love overides and lights his life and changes his world. I was and am a devout Prince fan. Then, one night,...BAM! The idea for the novel, which is my second, came to me. My first is an interracial love story. If you're a horror/love story aficianado, my third novel will drive you wild. Watch for it, also.
I, as we all are beautiful. All of God's creations have a special place in this world.
I'm hoping that "Precious Jewel" will be on the big screen, soon. RIP Hamilton, I would love for you to be one of the beautiful men in the movie. Julius Erving had, "The Fish That Saved Pittsburg." Back in the day, I drove my sister crazy, til she took me to see that movie. This could be your big screen debut and then,...BAM! ****...starring U.((-: Talk to ya later. I feel a Piston repeat. Will U be at The Espy Awards? I'll be watching.

Love/Desire You Always,
Lisa

Posted by: Lisa G. at July 16, 2004 03:38 PM

You all are funny. By the way, Rip Hamilton's personal chef is a dude. Sorry,Stephane.

Posted by: Ariaye at July 19, 2004 09:54 AM

Hi Rip! What's up, baby? Great job on the Espy Awards, I applaud you guys again and again. You deserve every accolade given to you, and then some.
I kinda figured you as the religious kind. I always said, "You seem like a member of our family." Your smile lights up the atmosphere. Keep smiling, babe. The world needs more like you, and more of your infectious smile. Your eyes are truly heavenly. I look forward to cheering you on, during the next season's games. It's ironic that my first novel, was published in your home state. I'm still hoping that Spike Lee will make it into a movie. I've probably bugged him, as much as I've you. I'll leave you with another lyric from a slamming song. "I just gotta let you know, in case you didn't know,...I think you're wonderful." E-mail me, if possible. Say hello to your loved ones and peace.

Kisses, Lisa

Hi,

I'm a huge Rip Hamilton fan, just like everyone else that reads or posts comments on this site. I don't know Rip personally, and I haven't met anyone that he knows. I am just a person that enjoys watching one talented individual play the sport I enjoy most. Yes he is extremely attractive and he seems very intelligent. He seems to be a socially conscious athlete and a genuinely caring person. So I feel that's why these postings are so charged. Rip seems to be the kind of person you would like to have in your life ( one way or the other ). So little girls fantasize about him... so what!! It's fun to talk about a person you admire with others. There is no reason to get nasty or make racist remarks. And I sincerely doubt that anyone that is involved with Rip would actually take the time to post on this site. It's obvious that we are ALL Rip Hamilton fans and enjoy reading and talking about him. Why not keep it both fun and tasteful. I would defenitely like to know more about Rip's charitable deeds.

Peace and continue to support Rip. I honestly hope that he finds happiness. He deserves it.

Posted by: RipFan2 at July 21, 2004 11:44 PM

i dont know if this is true but i just heard from someone that rip is engaged to a girl named courtney joseph or something...so if anyone finds out any info...please post it!

Posted by: kelly at July 22, 2004 12:10 AM

I don't know how current this info is but I heard that Rip is single but dates around and isn't ready to settle down with one woman. From what I know, he frequents a lot of strip clubs around Detroit and that doesn't sound like someone whose engaged.

Posted by: Lovelyone at July 22, 2004 01:45 AM

Hi Rick, How are ya? I guess, I should have said intriguing, instead of ironic, huh? Well, any positive adjective will describe our spiritually mental telepathic slams.(: HEY! U said Rasheed would be back and,...Whoa! Is he coming back with huge pockets.(: That's my boy. U Go Rasheed! Rick, you've always seemed like an attached guy. Hey! If it's true, I quote another song lyric to you "Congratulations, I thought it would have been me,...standing next to you. Congratulations, I hope you're happy. But, as long as I can breathe, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE ONE FOR ME."(: Well, I dreamed of you, again. Tell you about it, when I see ya. I guess, It's Time,...for me to subscribe to Jet Magazine. Don't want to miss the wedding photos, if it's true. You? Strip clubs??? Oh WOW, I knew I should've become a stripper!(: Hmm, If U need one, free of charge, call me and, Let It Rip! Oh well, I'll go crazy, trying to figure you out. But, I love your mysteriousness. The mask fits your attitude. Oh well, All I can attest to, is that, YOU'RE FINE, You Make me call your name a million times and sigh, "THE BALL DON'T LIE" and if you get married on me,..."Guess I'll see you next lifetime"((-: E-mail me, babe.

Love Ya, Lisa

geez lisa, you need help! go see a doctor or something. If rip wanted a crazy obsessive girl, then maybe he woulda emailed you, but in the meantime, your just gonna have to rely on your fantasies to get you through life!

here is my favorite pic of rip: http://www.nba.com/media/pistons/champs_wallpaper2_800x600.jpg

Posted by: kelly at July 23, 2004 03:14 PM

Hey Rip, How are ya? I'm just a fan, only an admire. You know that, though. I love you. Don't dare worry, I'm NOT obsessed with ya, or anything like that. I'm a novelist, so if my posts have been a bit pushy or have given you the idea that I'm some crazed fanatic, FORGIVE ME. I may have gotten carried away, in my attempt to be humorous and express amour for you, at the same time.(: I didn't mean to offend anyone, especially not you, RIP. I believe in Love and a higher power of righteousness. Sorry, I was not put on earth to offend or unnerve anyone, nor was anyone. Now, I'm sure Ricky H. understands my posts as being non-threatening, and knows, from our initial meeting, I'm in no way harmful to him, myself or anyone else. My posts are not the insecure attacks meant to stop another from expressing there feelings toward Ricky, either, to each her own. When Rick and I unite, it's always in the father's hands and NONE
-A- YO BITNESS, KELLY. Sorry, but rudeness brings out the blackness in my indian/Afr. American soul.
I loved writing on this page, because it WAS a positive forum for Richard Hamilton fans. I wasn't looking to be critiqued by the people who also posted on the page. I don't write on here, to have it or my mentality judged by anyone, whomever posted that, I need to seek help. Take your own advice, Kelly!

Desire&Love Always Rick,
Lisa

Posted by: kelly at July 24, 2004 10:18 PM

A page dedicated to loonies. Part of my life's work is studying loonies and group behavior. "Lisa" thinks she is special because she has Indian in here, but sounds like her father left her to figure out who she is. She wants Richard H. to fill that void. If I ever visit again, I hope it has become a real Rip page. I'm actually a fan.
Do any fans know of any good pistons/Rip sites. (non-groupie)It would help me in my family/friend arguments to quote facts and stats. I would also like to email them pictures to put it in their face...THANKS! GOOO PISTONS!

Hi again Rick, I've posted on this page so much, I'm starting to feel that I'm doing what Elden told us to, at the rally.(: It's all in Love. Hey Rick! Ever think of investing in an outstanding movie, guaransheed to be blockbuster?(:
"Precious Jewel" is a great and positive story. It'll make you laugh, cry, fall in love, get horn...Well, you know. Mr. Rich Hamilton, I am a die hard fan of yours. Let's talk. You will love the novel, along with the entire Piston Team. It's indirectly a basketball novel. It can be purchased from Amazon.com
Basketball! I just read a post by a girl who really enjoyed your b-ball camp, this summer. She was looking forward to the next one. I'm sure coaching is in your future, too. You're a jack of all trades, Rip. I can't wait til the Piston season begins.
Congrats on your parade in Coatesville. I'm from a small Detroit city, so I can relate. It's always home. I'm still waiting for BET to replay the version of Mad Sports, in which you were again superb.
Well, I'll close here. Oh, I just have to tell ya, the strange connection to my dad that I affiliate U with. "Ain't nobody gon' give you nothin," he would also say. I heard you tell a reporter that your father told you those same exact words, and I just fell more in love with you. You're living proof that everyone has to work for their dream. Let's Work, baby. Any voids that need filling, should have been spelled, "feeling" each other. Rick and I will discuss that later on.(: Check out Rip's Page at the url below. Yes Sir!

Love&Peace, Lisa Chablis

Hey Lisa Chablis, please take a minute out of your life or should I say Rip Hamilton's life and read my posting Sweet Spirit, July 14,2004, 1:47am. I saw your web site and once again as Rip's sister in Christ I am affended. I know it is your business to post whatever you want but writing and posting nasty smut about what you fantasize about Rip on a web site for every one to see is down right disrespectful and hurtful to Rip. As a women I have been sexually harassed a lot and even lost a job behind it. It does not feel good at all and it really makes you feel violated talks about you like that as if you are just a piece of meat and not a human being. I have had many men talk about how they want to do things with my body and they think it is flattering but it is very hurtful and makes me dislike them for it. If you truly love and care about Rip please don't give him a reason to dislike you too. To Quote Rips own words "I am just a person just like everyone else, I put on my pants one leg at a time." So please respect him like a human being. I will be praying for you and I hope you stop by a good church and learn about what love is really about. It hurts my heart when people distort what love means. Jesus Christ's ministry was love, not fornication and if you really love Rip you would not talk about him like that. Sex is supposed to be and act of love between a married man and his wife. And by the way you are spending a little too much time on Rip I suggest spend a lot more time on God. He's the only one who can give you true life. Take for Rip instance, everyone can see God has given him wonderful life and he is a well deserving faithful servant he did not get rich sitting around thinking about you, take a lesson. I'll be praying for you girl, Love ya.

Hi Rip, I love and respect you with all my heart and soul. You've even got me working out again. "My baby must be a magician cuz he's sure got the magic touch."(: You're my heart,...Kisses. Maybe, someday we'll do our morning jog together.(:
The next few lines aren't for you Rip, so close your Godly eyes and ears. I'll speak to you again, at the end of this post. Love Ya Always. Me

OKAY, ISN'T THIS A RIP HAMILTON PAGE? WELL THEN, THE POST ON THIS PAGE, SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO HIM AND ABOUT HIM. WHY ARE A SELECT FEW PEOPLE ON THIS PAGE, WRITING TO AND ABOUT ME? THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL AND MEAN SPIRITED, FOR A...SO CALLED, SISTER IN CHRIST, whomever you are. (I thank you all who wished me a Happy Birthday, too,...hugz)
LET RIP TELL ME, WHEN OR IF I'VE HURTFUL OR OFFENSIVE. MY WRITINGS AREN'T HURTFUL, HARMFUL OR NAESTY, THOUGH. I'VE BEEN WRITING FAR TO LONG TO KNOW, IF OR WHEN I'M BEING VULGAR OR OFFENSIVE.
BEING RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLD, I KNOW FULLY WELL, THE TEACHINGS OF GOD AND MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. SO, IF I WANT TO BE IN A CHURCH SERVICE, I'D GO TO MY OWN CHURCH AND PASTOR. I WOULDN'T TAKE THE ADVICE OF AN ACUSSATORY VOICE ON THE INTERNET, THAT I'VE NEVER MET, NO DISRESPECT INTENDED.
I AM A ROMANCE NOVELIST. THE POEMS ON MY WEB PAGES, AS WELL AS MY POST ON HERE AREN'T VULGAR OR "NASTY SMUT," AS YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR POST, SPIRIT. I COULD OR WOULD NEVER HURT ANYONE. GOD BLESSED ME TO WRITE, AND I SHALL CONTINUE TO DO SO, In A Peaceful nature. MY WORDS WOULD NEVER HURT OR EMBARRASS RICKY.
SEX IS A BEAUTIFUL, GOD GIVEN, INTENDED FOR A HUSBAND AND WIFE. HOWEVER, WE ALL KNOW THAT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS TAKE PLACE IN THE CONFINES OF SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. MY POEMS, ARE ABOUT THOSE MOMENTS. OPEN YOUR HEART, OPEN YOUR MIND, LOVERS MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU SEEK, BUT THEY ARE WHAT YOU FIND.(: I'M SORRY IF YOU WERE SEXUALLY HARASSED. BUT, IN NO WAY AM I SEXUALLY HARASSING ANYONE, PLEASE! I'M A WOMAN WHO ADMIRES A GREAT LOOKING AND HUMBLE MAN. I DON'T AND COULD NEVER TREAT HIM LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT. I ENJOY HIM AS A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER, WHO FRANKLY, MADE THE GAME EXCITING FOR ME AGAIN, THAT'S THE GAME OF LIFE, LOVE AND B-BALL. He's a human being, as we all are. In my writings to him, I try to treat him to a jovial time and laughter, in the midst of a cold, post 9-11 world. NOTHING'S WRONG WITH THAT.
As for mY AGE, I MADE IT PAST 21. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
****NOW, PLEASE DIRECT YOUR POSTS TO THE MAN OF THE HOUR, THE MAN THAT'LL RUN US WILD,...RICK HAMILTON!!!!
"DEARLY BELOVED, WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO GET THROUGH THIS THING CALLED LIFE, ELECTRIC WORD LIFE, THAT MEANS FOREVER AND THAT'S A MIGHTY LONG TIME." I HAVE TIME ON MY HANDS TO POST A LOT, BECAUSE I'M EDITING MY NEXT NOVEL. I WORK FROM HOME, AND AM CONSTANTLY AT MY COMPUTER. tHE bIBLE IS MY SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND REPRIEVE FROM LIFE, BUT I'M NOT FANATICAL IN THAT WAY, EITHER. PEACE, ME

Rick, Here's to you, another song lyric, "When I'm alone in my room, I can't stop dreaming about ya, dreamin about ya, dreamin about ya." Hey, Prince was at The Palace tonight. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE B-BALL SEASON TO BEGIN. Yes Sir!

Desire/Love Ya Always,
Lisa

Hey Lisa its good to know that you are a christian who knows the teachings of your Lord and savior Jesus Christ, I thought you wanted to be Rip's personal stripper looks like you're representing pretty well I bet your parents, pastor and first Lady are really proud. Since this is Rip's page am not going to play tit for tat I will just have to rebuke you directly. Talk to you later.

Posted by: Sweetspirit at July 31, 2004 09:18 PM

Sorry for the typos in my last post. It was late.
Hey Rip, How's it going. babe? Have you read "Precious Jewel," yet? It's one book that will keep you in a basketball state of mind. Let's talk business, after you've read it. I'm certain that you'll love it so much, you'll want to invest in making it a motion picture. Think about it.(: E-mail me. I love ya babe. I received several t-shirts, yesterday. So,. Now Rip, the signing begins. On or off, it's
your call.
Saw the olympic basketball
team and Coach Brown win,yesterday. I think it was awful how Iverson and the other guy was late, and ended up not playing. You Go Larry! Show 'em, you don't play that! That's why The Pistons are world champs today, respect for the game, the coach and each other. Rip, now that the camp is over and all, do you regret declining to go play on the olympic team? I say, If you guys security was questionable, you and Ben did the right thing. I just miss the chance of watching you play. Oh well, the season will be here soon,...rest up, Rick, for the game and me, or should I be the one resting?(:

Peace&Kisses Ricky,
Lisa
__________________________________________________
Now, To answer your post, Sweet Spirit, girl, I have nothing against you. This has been a great weekend. My family knows me. They're respectful of my, desires, quests, whatever.
Whenever Ricky and I are together, be it me, performing a sexy
strip tease for him or reading The Bible or a profound, arousing poem
to him, in between the sheets. It's
a private matter. Our family's close and we do respect each others wishes.
Religion has always been taken seriously, but not fanatical.
My pastor is cool enough to understand me.
My
love for Rip is God
given.
Don't tarnish it with your
twisted way of vieing my life, probably the
most
clean
life on this page.
Critique somebody who's a sinner on this page, and leave me alone.
My parents have both finished their travels on this earth, so please be respectful of the deceased and not mention them in your posts, about me. Like I said, when Rip tells me I need Jesus and I'm disrespecting him, I'll abide by his wishes. But, nothing that I've written has been anything but fan love. Rebuke yourself and leave me alone. I've not made reference to your posts, til you told me to read the Sweet Spirit Post. Frankly, why are you trying to defend Richard's morals? You don't even know him, or if he wants a sanctified woman via Marvin Gaye.
RICK, HERE'S ANOTHER SONG LYRIC, JUST FOR YOU...OOH, HERE I GO AGAIN, FALLING IN LOVE ALL OVER, OH, JUST LIKE I NEVER HAVE,
YOU
JUST PRAY
U DON'T
GET BURNED. O' THIS FIRE N'SIDEF ME, DON'T NOBODY REALIZE, OH WHAT YOU ARE TO ME, BUT BABY YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN.
I'M
MAKING U A
COAT OF PINK CASHMERE,
SO
YOU'LL KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YA, HOW I ALWAYS WANT YOU NEAR."

Desire/Love Always,
Lisa

"The cycle never ends," Oops! I screwed that lyric up, in my prior post,LOL. Sorry Rip and Prince.
Before I make any more erroneous devestations, in Prince's lyrics, I'll vacate. All I can say is, I'm still a Rip fan, still in love with the masked man. I'll just tell it to him, someone who cares, from now on. This has been an interesting experience for me. As a single woman, all I'll say is "Brown Sugar" and "All's Fair In Love And Basketball. To you Ricky, even though I'm not the best song plagerist,(: here's another lyric for ya. "I believe in miracles I believe that we could be, in love eternnally. Well, as far as I can see. You will always be the one, for me." I'm still a fan, baby. ...And they can't change that.
Groupies in my book, classify teenaged girls. Since I'm an experienced woman, and I believe in sharing, Watch Out C. Joseph.(: (If it's a lie, I hope you sue for defamation of character) Luv Ya Rip!

Hi again, This being the opening day of the olympics, I just had to break my own rule and give a shout out to my man, Rip. What's up, baby? Can't wait til Nov. 2nd. I Love you, Rip. Only a real man can light my fire, sporting yellow, purple or pink. You're hot! Never forget that, a basketball God.
Alan Iverson has certainly been jamming, as captain of team USA, during the exhibition games. You should've been out there and captain. We wouldn't have lost one exhib. game, but I give props to Alan. He threw down and I can't wait til the first actual olympic game.
If you have any doubts, here are a couple of facts about me, totally devout. "Years before, I received my first kiss at my sweet sixteen party, not sixteen anymore. When I was 26, I fell in love with you, Rip, heard the knock at my door.'(: Mrs. Robinson, I may be. Call me, call my name, Lisa G.
Talk to ya later. We've got work to do! To you,..."What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man." Yes Sir!

Desire it comes with power,
Lisa G.

Posted by: jada at August 15, 2004 06:46 PM

Hey Lisa,
Get off my tip. I don't like you. You are nuts, your writing is not my cup of tea and I like more God-fearing women.

RH

Posted by: RIP at August 15, 2004 11:32 PM

Oops! Did I ever make a grave mistake,...sorry. I should have known from the prior page that I was on. My writing upsets some people. Guess I'll figure out what I'm doing erroneous. I was a fan,like many others out there. This page was helpful for my career, or so I thought. But, I see things got threw a bit into a frenzy. Sorry, again I apologize. As a pentacostal woman, I really don't know how much more God fearing I could be. Thanks for the dream and buy my book, "Precious Jewel." My botonist class has been neglected long enough.(:

Peace, Lisa

uh...was that really rip? :-\ i'm so confused!

Posted by: jada at August 16, 2004 09:29 PM

I AM FAR FROM BEING NUTS! It seems to me, that whomever it was that wrote that bogus post and forged Rip's signature to it, has some serious issues. WHO'S NUT'S??? All my posts to Rick, have been positive, motivating, stimulating. Anybody having a problem with that, just has a problem, period. To paraquote the wisest woman I knew, my mom, "If anyone calls themself religious and holy, it should show in their actions,...they wouldn't have to mention it to everyone they meet. It would be self evident." Richard Hamilton is such a soul of virtue. Now, whomever the religious fanatic is who throws religion in my face, whenever I write a titillating post, here or on my page, needs to "Live and Let Live." I'm not writing to you or about you, so for you to have waged some all out war against me, is unjust and sick. Please don't mention my name in anymore of your posts. I have not mentioned you in my posts, in any vilifying manner, and I deserve the same consideration. To sum it all up, I'll use a paraquote from a banner that was at the rally, "IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU #32!" Write about Rick or whatever or whoever you choose, just leave me out of your venom. Rick, you're the man! Someday we'll wine and dine, someday we'll intertwine.(:

Peace, Lisa G.

I agree with you Lisa. You have a right to post on this page without people judging you! Personally I love your writing. Now whoever posted as Rip, that was not right! Rip would never judge his fans by what they post on this page and I know that for a fact! And even if he did think that, he still wouldn't write it! >:o

Posted by: jada at August 17, 2004 06:34 PM

Did you all see the spectacular whipping the USA basketball team put on The Australia b-ball team, this morning? Whoa Baby! NOW, THEY'RE PLAYING LARRY'S WAY! "THE RIGHT WAY!" Congrats to the mens and womens USA team.
Oh, Rip I just had to compliment you on your photos in Jet Charters &Travels. You are fine,...still!(: Who cares if my writing isn't enjoyed by all. To quote my main man, "I wanna get paid."(: And, I Do.(:
Ahhh! You didn't think I saw that outburt, eh? Well, of course I did, as I was blatantly screaming myself,..."Take Me With You!"(:

There was an earlier post that said that they heard that Rip was engaged to a girl named Courtney Joseph. I ran across an article today that confirmed that he is in fact engaged. FYI.

Rip soaring
Detroit's Hamilton has risen from relative obscurity to undisputed
star status in the 2004 playoffs.


Richard Hamilton, right, has his shot blocked by Philadelphia-area
pal Kobe Bryant.
MICHAEL GOULDING, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------


By MARCIA C. SMITH
The Orange County Register


His parents stood outside a Philadelphia-area hospital nursery on
Valentine's Day 1978, took one look at their giggling and diapered 31-
inch-tall newborn son and knew Richard Clay Hamilton was going to be
a basketball player.

The mother imagined how tall her first son would grow. The father
imagined jumpshots and immediately returned to their Coatesville,
Pa., home to furnish a crib with two plush basketballs.

"We just knew," said Pamela Long, Hamilton's mother, sitting a few
rows up from the Detroit bench for the Pistons' 87-75 victory over
the Lakers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Sunday at Staples Center.

Hamilton, 26, has become a sudden star in this NBA postseason. The
speedy 6-foot-7, 193- pound shooting guard has skinny limbs, snaky
moves and a celebrated history - dating to their Pennsylvania
schoolboy days - of facing Kobe Bryant one on one.

Hamilton's regular-season averages of 17.6 points and 3.6 rebounds
have climbed to 21.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in the postseason.

In the Eastern Conference finals, Hamilton outplayed Indiana All-
Stars Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest and longtime idol Reggie Miller,
who once called Hamilton "Mini-Me."

Hamilton had played much of his NBA career in obscurity since being
drafted seventh overall in 1999 by Washington.

Until now.

"Finally," said the modest Hamilton, who recently signed a seven-year
contract worth a reported $62 million.

"It has been a long time coming for Rip," said Ricky Hicks, an
assistant coach at Coatesville High when Hamilton played there.

Cloaked in a Hamilton No.32 jersey, Hicks cheered Sunday alongside
Hamilton's family, including his mother; brother Cordell Long, 11;
sister and Temple guard Christena Hamilton, 22; and fiancée
Courtney
Joseph.

"I'm so proud just to see my son on the court in a game this big,"
Pamela Long said, despite Hamilton's 5-of-16 shooting night (12
points) under Bryant's watch in Game 1.

"Seeing Rip and Kobe out there gives me goose bumps and flashbacks. I
remember when they were kids dreaming of this moment."

Hamilton's father, Richard Hamilton Sr., gave his son the
nickname "Rip" because of a toddler- age tendency to rip off diapers.
To keep Rip's hands busy, the father gave him a basketball.

By age 7, Rip took to dribbling the ball to and from his school bus,
to classes, to practice and to nearby Ash Park, where he shot free
throws through cold rain and thunder.

"My girlfriend," he called the ball. They went everywhere together.

His father, a truck driver, started enrolling Rip in Philly's noted
basketball camps.

Rip, cousin Jontu Long and several neighbors packed into the SUV of
John "Uncle Chucky" Long to drive from Coatesville, 45 miles east, to
Philadelphia for clinics that drew hundred of teenage boys banking
their entire futures on becoming basketball stars.

After a 3-on-3 event outside a Northeast Philadelphia shopping mall
in 1992, a man complimented Richard Hamilton Sr. on 14-year- old
Rip's play.

"Your son plays really well," the man said. "I have a son who's
pretty good, too. I bet they'll face each other in high school."

That man was former NBA player Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, who had a son,
Kobe, and lived in the posh Philadelphia community of Wynnewood.

"Joe showed my dad the ropes and got me started in AAU," Rip Hamilton
said.

Hamilton, helped by grueling one-on-one battles with Hicks after
practices, made a name for the working-class burg of Coatesville
through its basketball team.

Forty miles northeast of Coatesville, Bryant, his career path drawn
by his father, was building a reputation for Lower Merion High.

In their high school summers, Hamilton and Bryant joined forces on an
AAU traveling squad and roomed together, always talking of futures
they wanted to secure with not just talent but hard work.

Hamilton recalled once telling Bryant, "Before (AAU) practice, we're
going to go one on one so I can go at you."

"Rip, you can't beat me," Bryant, who is six months younger,
responded.

"You can't beat me," Hamilton answered before taking the argument to
the court.

"We were kids and loved the game," Hamilton said. "We liked to
challenge each other, push each other. I learned so much from him,
and he probably learned some things off me."

They both were chosen McDonald's All-America guards. They were East
teammates in the 1996 Magic Roundball Classic at the Palace at Auburn
Hills, the Pistons' home court.

Then Bryant's Lower Merion eliminated Hamilton's Coatesville in the
1996 Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association state
playoffs. Soon Bryant jumped to the NBA, where he has become a six-
time All-Star with a $13.5 million salary and a $10 million-$12
million endorsement portfolio.

Hamilton signed with Connecticut, where he was the 1998 and 1999 Big
East Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player on the 1999
NCAA champion Huskies

Only now is Hamilton finding an NBA stardom that his family, his
supporters and even Bryant always expected.

"It's rare to see somebody who was in the same district ... meet up
in the NBA Finals, the biggest stage in the world," Bryant said about
the reunion.

Tonight is another show.

thanks for posting the article as I'm sure it had many admirers on edge, but i think courtney joseph is christena hamilton's fiancee, but i can see how it might be confused. what i would like to know is if Rip has a 4 year old son. Does anyone know? Congrats to Rip on another successful Rip day Celebration, it's great to see how your popularity continues to grow every year. I also think it's great that you give back to the community.

Posted by: detroitgirl at August 21, 2004 11:53 AM

why dont you try to google search the "courtney joseph" name.. at first Im really thrilled and happy for rip that his got a girl so I bacame curious and want to see what she might look like and tried to google search the name in the latter statement.. and guess what there was a male college basketball player instead... hmm thats something.. so I figured since the courtney joseph name was written after christena's name might be that courtney was her fiance.. But Iam still confused because fiancee' means-the female version of fiance which is a male... hmmm
Nweis.. Iam sure that Rip would be happy to have his girl.. to mr. rip good luck next season and keep up the good work! I am sure that if he had a son or wife he would be proud to let the world know about it....

Hey Rip amd fans!
I was just dicussing this point. Rip is such a proud man, that when he's engaged or has a son, he'll be the first to inform the public, boldly and happily. Personally, I'll be shouting it out from the roof top, especially when I'm the provider.(: His little nephew, Blake, is as cute as a button. Rip informed us, after one of the season games, that the adorable little man attends all the Piston games and wears a #32 jersey famously.
Rip, I'm awainting anxiously Nov. 2nd. Wish you would have been on the USA mens team, WE NEED YOU! Your energy! Your Power! Your heavenly and formidable presence.(: Oh, I love that newspaper article, it describes your beginnings well and sends me again to my typewriter.(hint,hint) Well, to leave you, I'll quote another song lyric, from me to U.

"There are times when I find
You wanna keep yourself from me
When I don’t have the strength
I’m just a mirror of what I see

But at your best you are love
You’re a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know"

Love Always, Lisa

Posted by: justpostin at August 23, 2004 07:35 AM

Hey ya'll. Im a big fan of Rips too. Ive been there since his highschool years. The man is talented, I learned a lot of my own basketball skills from watching him play. He has a magic about him when he touches the ball. he is so quick and such a great shooter.I am glad that LB came around and helped him perfect his game, and take it to a new level. I am looking forward to seeing him play next year, and hoping for a repeat. I know the team will be even better now. And anyway Rip you are the greatest NBA player out there, keep working at it, one day everyone inthe world will realize what I have known all along.

Ladies if you would like to visit a Rip site, I have one at yahoo called
RIp_theworldsgreatest

and I read that article about Courtney Joseph and that happens to be his sisters Fiancee, he plays basketball for Georgia Southern University. So no worries!And if ya'll just wanna chat bout rip hit me up at my e-mail address! Peace ya'll keep loving on Rip hes a great guy and deserves your love!

Peace, Lisa
Desire it comes with power

Posted by: Lisa G. at August 24, 2004 04:24 PM

Ladies, Ladies,Ladies. When will we learn to unite instead of fight?
I am not claiming to be Rip's girlfriend. Sorry I wouldn't want that role. This man has more groupies than all of us on this post can imagine. I am just here to say that Rip is a good guy and the sex isn't too bad. He doesn't give head but he loves to receive. Which in my opinion sucks...but oh well he has millions. Girls if you can actually get at him he will take care of you even if its just temp. He will def. make a good dad and maybe hubbie one day but with all the groupie love I don't know. Its women like us that make these men the dogs that they are. Good luck to his woman whomeveer and wherever she is you must be a very strong woman. Good luck

Posted by: jada at September 12, 2004 10:44 AM

YESSIR! Hi again Rip and fans. This is Rasheed Wallace Eve and a month before pre-season, so I had to resume my posts. I had plans on throwing a Pistons gala, before summer's end, however that'll have to wait until we win the championship, next year,...AND WE WILL! If plans change, I'll keep you all abreast. Hey Rip! I really thought that we'd see you and more Det. Pistons doing more televised guest appearances. You would have really been an asset to shows like, The Tonight Show, The Late Show, Oprah, etc. Well, I guess, you'll be on Oprah when I am. It'll be a love fest.(: Talk to ya later. Hey! Larry Brown will be at The Ryder Cup, this week. You guys should have went, also. Well,I'll leave you with another song lyric. "I like it, I like it, I really, really like it. I'm for it, adore it, so come, let me enjoy it.
Come on over to my place..."

Luv Ya! Lisa G.

Posted by: Chante at September 19, 2004 11:17 AM

WHY does everyone talk like they've had sex with rip or that "they're in love"...whats up with that? c'mon people...we're not stupid!

Posted by: ??? at September 23, 2004 07:31 PM

Love, emotional and physical, is of God. It's not the worst feeling to express for another person. To be open with warm emotions of affection doesn't make a person stupid. It makes one human, and not afraid to be her or himself. To quote a friend, "What if they or you die tomorrow? Love lost, nothing gained. A woman sensually expressing how much she adores Rick, to me, is a cute admittance, even if it's unrequited. Keep up the good work, Rip! "You're Simply The Best, Better Than All The Rest, Better Than Anyone, Anyone I've Ever Met...YOU'RE THE BEST!"

Peace&Love,

hey ya'll i have to tell you a story about rips party last night. so the whole night rips flirting with me...so when everyone started leaving the party, rip invited me back to his cousins house to hang out with a few people. so we go to his cousins house (they call his cousin twitty) and twitty decides to go pick up his girlfriend so he leaves with the other people that were there. so now its just me and rip sitting on the couch.....and we can all guess what happens. so we're in the bedroom and guess who walks in...rips girlfriend latoya...so fyi rip is now single! but not for long cause we're going out again tomorrow night. so if any of you ladies want rip, better get ahold of him b4 i do again ;-) cause he ain't gonna be single for long!so i'm gonna leave you with this song lyric (sorry i took this idea from lisa)
(this song is for rip)
i wanna l-l-l-lick you from your head to your toes
and i wanna move from the bed down down to the floor
and i wanna ah-ah
you make it so good i dont wanna leave
but i gotta kn-n-n-ow w-w-whats your fantasy! ;-D

I thought the same thing when I read Kennedys post. I kept thinking, you mean Latoya found you and rip getting busy and you still have fingers to type with and eyes to see with? Latoya is a ghetto name, girls named latoya don't play!

Posted by: Funny at October 6, 2004 03:47 AM

Right On Funny, Kennedy get a life and even if that happened evidently if you was willing to give up the draws that quick what makes you thing Rip would make you his girlfriend, whats the point now why buy the cow when you can get the milk free. You can't make a hooker into a house wife. Evidently you have no shame anyway, if you want to tell a lie at least make you self look like a decent human being instead of a nasty slut. Holla! Haaaaaa!

ya'll are just jealous cause i got something from rip and ya didnt!! go ahead...i'd be jealous too if i were you :-P and i'm not a slut! i've known rip for a couple of years, and we just decided to go for it! it's like in the movies when you get a crush on your best friend, and then you hook up at the end :-) you can still have you elementary crushes on him, but i thought you'd be able to sleep better knowing he's happy with ME! ;-)

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 6, 2004 08:19 PM

Lesson One: The Internet is made of many people from around the world and some of them are under medicated.

There is another lesson my mother taught me just a few weeks ago. There is this family friend that constantly brags about how many rich people he knows, his glory days at my current college, etc. I have never once held a conversation with this man that didn’t involve him bragging.

So I asked my mother, who has known this man for years, “Why does he do that!” Do you know what she said? “Low self-esteem.” At first, I disagreed with her. “He has great self-esteem, he is in love with himself.” She said, “No, I know him he has low self-esteem.” She went on to talk about his unemployment issues, how is parent’s have to support him, and the lack of a romantic life he has hitting middle age. I notice it now; his only accomplishments are stories from college he can’t even prove that don’t reflect the person he is now.

Bringing us the lesson itself. If the story she tells us is a lie, refer to lesson one. If the story she tells is true, the problem with Kennedy and many other people in life is that they lack a since of accomplishment. She has NOT gotten on this page to boast about meeting or interacting with a great guy that respects women, an academic achievement, or a positive change in her life. But only to talk about the adulterous sex she had with an NBA player.

She brings new meaning to aim low and you will never be disappointed in life. Most importantly, like my family friend, she got on the Internet to boast about something she can’t prove in an effort to make women jealous who simply think rip is cute jealous.

Sincerely,
Dr. Phil’s Competition

P.S. Don’t listen, if true, all she is doing is showing the miles on her Vagina. If it is a lie, she is showing the miles her mouth.

Posted by: jada at October 7, 2004 06:50 PM

hey everyone, my name is kady, and i just found this website. i agree with "funny's lesson" about kennedy...well i know you are all rip hamilton fans, and hes a great guy...i got to meet him last year at one of the games. i was reporting for my school newspaper (we do one big article once a year) and i asked him what he thinks about his fans and he said "our fans are awesome! they're the greatest fans out there! we love you all!" so although you probably already know, rip loves every single one of you :D...but if he ever read the posts by kennedy, i think he'd be offended...hurt...kennedy, you are only thinking of yourself. what if someone actually read your post and believed you? you could ruin rip's reputation...everyone would think of him as a horny freak who couldnt keep his "thing" in is pants...now is that what you really want for rip? so next time you come up with an outrageous lie...dont just think about yourself, think about how many people you are going to hurt!

Posted by: jamie at October 8, 2004 12:48 PM

Hey! What's up Rip and fans? I can't fault Kennedy. Rip is such a beautiful man, he warrants everybody's imagination and libido to go crazy. Rip was totally adorable on Pistons Media Day. Did U all see him? I started fantasizing about him, too.(nothing new for me)(: Rip is a red blooded man, so he probably got a kick out of Kennedy's dementia. What did you drink at that party, home girl? Well, I Love U, Rip. Can't wait til I get to interview you, for my own magazine. Hmmm, I feel a fantasy coming on...(: Let me leave you with a lyric. "Mindin my buisness (word) I looked around
And I couldn't believe this
I swear, I stand, my niece my witness
The brotha had it goin on wit somethin kinda
Uh wicked, wicked, had to kick it
I'm not shy so I asked for the digits
A ho, no that don't make me
See what I want
Slip slide to it swiftly
Felt it in my hips
So I dip back to my bag a tricks
Then I flip for a tip
Make me wanna do tricks on him
Lick him, like a lollipop should be licked
Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit
Don't know how you do, the voodoo, that you do
So well it's a spell, hell
makes me wanna shoop, shoop, shoop

Shoop Shoop Eh Doop
Shoop Eh Doop
Shoop Eh Doop Eh Doop Eh Doop
(IT'S GONNA BE CRAZY!)

Posted by: ljksdfh asl;dfj at October 10, 2004 04:09 PM

pistons Open Practice went well. THe crowd wasn't extremely big but it was loud in the palace as the pistons stepped onto the court. Rasheed wallace ran around the palace and touched the fans as his name was announced.

~~ i also got pistons tickets when i bought mine I got free tickets for the 13th.
Also i sat front row press row at the palace open practice, and I have four rows of film, once I get them developed i will be putting them onto my site Rip_theworldsgreatest (yahoo site) for all to see.
Also the mask this season will no longer be, unless the team struggles early and it will come out as good luck. Rip hamilton is very superstitious when it comes ot pre game rituals and good luck charms for his games.

Posted by: Jamie at October 11, 2004 11:16 AM

YAY PISTONS WIN! Rips perfect from everywhere!! Yay! 6 assists. Awesome job in only 17 minutes. Can't wait to see him play his full minutes!
yesterday i went to the game and I went over to where the players enter and I talked to tayshaun and he shot a three pointer during the game for me..i asked him to and he said you got it! And Rip came up bumping in his bentley (nice nice car) and i told him that i love him and he said thank you sweetie. I about died!

Posted by: JL at October 14, 2004 10:17 AM

JL

how did he smell? did you gete you pictures developed yet? how does he look up close?

Posted by: Meme at October 16, 2004 05:51 AM

I didn't get THAT close to him. ANd I didn't bring hte camera this time. i wans't planning on walking over to where they come out. because i got there at around 5:45 i figured they would already be in. but when we got there we decided to walk over ther incase some was slow coming in. ANd all the starer showed up one after another. They have security everywhere and wont let you go behind the barriers they put up. but these barriers were moved a little closer this time. So we got closer I was maybe two feet at the most away from him. He does Look DAMN GOOD up close. MMmmmMMMMmm and ladies he only had one person with him and that was a guy. No girl..no rings..nothing to say attached.

Posted by: JL at October 16, 2004 10:39 AM

Hey Rip and fans! What's up? That game against Miami, last night, was heartbreaking. However, It's always good to see Rip: playing, sitting, standing, laying with me, Oops!(: I know that my honey is an immaculate man, he looks great and smells divinely, "All The Time." Hmm, I can't wait til November. I'll have more to reprt...(: Let me leave ya with this HOT song lyric from Nelly. Rip,...Come on, baby. I'm the only female who's name starts eith, L, that has a hankering for your hardware.(:This song will seranade...US.

Do you like that sweat drippin' all over my body?
Yea, I like that
That sweat drippin' all over your body
You like that sweat drippin' all over my body
Now, shall I proceed?
Yes,
I need to see you take it down to the floor
Spread your wings, if you real, ma, fly real low
Pause for a second ma, grind real slow
And if you do it right
All day we'll go (Ho)
I talk a lil' Fred Seigal girl (Seigal, girl)
Bonnie and Judy Lee with your bag all beaded, girl
Apple bottom pair underneath it
You talkin' like you don't need it
I can tell you concieted
I like that in you
I don't see nothin wrong
Drop down and get your eagle on (Whoa)

Now, what's next to trenscend up in this party
OPP time, now let's get naughty

he only had one person with him and that was a guy. No girl..no rings..nothing to say attached.<------why would you wear a ring to a basketball game...you're gonna take it off anyways...why take the chance of loosing it!...but that's not why i'm commenting...he doesnt have a ring cause we're not married of course...when we go to the games, he goes past the fans so they can all wave and scream or whatever...b4 he does that, i get dropped off at the other side of the building so i can go up to my room and get ready for the game. then i go to the trainers room to hang out with arnie and mike and rip b4 he goes out to warm-up. so that's why you didnt see a girl with him when he walked in!!

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 17, 2004 09:05 PM

Kennedy you trippin, actually all the other guys who are married wear their rings to the game. Rasheed wears his sittin on the sideline, dressed in his basketball gear. Stop trippin girl, i watched his car drive in and everything. it didn't turn no corners or anything, so please stop ya lyin, its gettin rather pathetic. And ive seen the guy walk in, walk out, plenty of times,i watched him come out and drive away and hun again the car didn't go no where but out and to the express way so unless you hitch hiked a ride on the express way..you lyin..also tell me if you were there that game in his car..what color is it?how many doors does it have, is the front window longer than the back, or is theback window longer than the front?or does it only have one window? if you were in his car, you would be able to answer these questions. which i doubt you were in his car. So kennedy gurl be real and stop trippin you gettin dumb. if you were rips gurl you wouldn't be on here telling us about him, thats just stupid. and immature for a girlfriend. please...

Posted by: Jl at October 18, 2004 12:09 PM

I just realized that those questions would be too easy for Kennedy to answer..so i need to think new questions..ok
HOw many tattoos does rip have?
and what do they all say?

Posted by: JL at October 19, 2004 12:50 PM

omg you're so immature! you think that if i get a few simple questions right, that'll prove to you that i know rip?! c'mon! what is wrong with you people?! btw rip has 2 tatoos, one on each arm...to honor his grandfather, rip got a tattoo on his right shoulder which says: "Edward Hamilton, Oct 9, 1922- Sept 25, 1998! and on his left shoulder he has a tatoo of a gravestone which says "RIP" and then a hand with a basketball spinning on it right in the middle of the gravestone! if you want i can tell you his favorite hang out, how many sneakers he owns,and what his favorite pairs of shoes are!
"if you were rips gurl you wouldn't be on here telling us about him, thats just stupid. and immature for a girlfriend. please..." <---- ok...umm why can't i talk about my boyfriend...i'm sure you talk to people about your boyfriend (that is if you have one) and it's not really immature, because when i'm done shopping and hanging out with my friends, i have nothing better to do than to sit around and wait for rip to get back from practice...so i'm sry if i'm bothering anyone by talking about rip, cause if i'm not mistaken, this IS a rip forum!!

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 19, 2004 06:33 PM

Kennedy, I read about his tattoos and have seen images of them. Any dud with an internet connection can find out information about players tattoos. What is more interesting is that you didn't answer JL's question or provide info as to why he picked your ass up off the expressway. If that really is your man, then thats your man. Why the hell do you have to persuade people ON THE INTERNET?

People brag about their boyfriends on double dates, parties and hanging with friends. We are not your friends. And why would you want to put your celebrities boyfriends business out there on the internet.

Posted by: RIPFAN at October 20, 2004 01:47 AM

Actually ripfan, i asked the tattoo question because most people actually dont know about two of his tattoos. People say he only has two, on his arms, he has four, one on his chest and one on his stomach. Most people dont know that so i asked..
But if hes her man your right, whatever he is..i doubt it highly..but..

Posted by: JL at October 20, 2004 08:20 AM

Hey! Larry Brown's comments about Rip, on yesterday's newscast, totally made my day. Rip's such a classy player, everyone in the NBA 'wants to emulate him.' You Go Rip! You're the best and you're only getting better, B-BALL PLAYER EXTRAORDINAIRE! Tattoos, girlfriend, wife, mistress, lover,...whatever, I'll always love you, baby,...forever. Guess I'll leave with my usual, a song lyric.(: If I was your girlfriend, would you run to me if somebody hurt you, even if that somebody, that somebody was me. Sometimes I trip on how happy we can be...PLE...EEEase.(: Mmmm.........(:

Hmm, Hey Rip and fans! How's it going? These preseason games are fun to watch, but they'll drive you crazy! WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS, GUYS! Tayshaun has been doing a devestating job, though. His name ain't Prince for nothin, and my Rip just get's me so hot,...HOT! I said last season that he was going to shock with his three point shot, next season and Hey!(: Oh, back to J's post. I'm glad I checked back so soon or I wouldn't have saw it. About Larry B., I checked him out on the news, Tuesday, speaking on Rip. I should have recorded it, then I would have had an unequivocal quote.(: His comment was said jovially and at the end, he let us know that he's got Rip's back. (My words)"Rip's Gonna Shoot the lights out with his three point shot."(: U Go Rip! I said all last season that you were gonna surpass Chancey with your three pointers, next season. Voila! The new season's almost here. Let's see if I have esp or Rip.(: Okay, I'll end. Oh, Jamie, that lyric is from a song entitled, "If I Was Your Girlfriend." I always make lyrics suit my purpose.(: Prince wrote it, TLC did a great rendition of it, too. Rip, much success with tonight's game. I'll leave you with this lyric, since it's kinds fitting.(: Tonight is the night that you make me your woman. You said you'd be gentle with me and I, I hope you will. You see I'm nervous and I'm trembling, waiting for you to walk in. I'm trying hard to relax, but I, I just can't keep still." Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwah!

Desire Ya, Lisa

k well ripfan, if you read the posts before that, you'll see that JL took back her question because she said it would be too easy...and of course anyone can read about rip's tatoos! i'm just saying, i'm his girlfriend whether you believe me or not...and about him "just driving away" after the game, obviously you didnt see him in his car, cause when he left, I was in the car with him!

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 22, 2004 04:17 PM

uh i would just like to say one thing...rip doesnt have a tatoo on his chest and stomach...i have a tape of him without his shirt on and there are no tatoos on him except for his arms :-\

Posted by: kady at October 22, 2004 04:34 PM

umm...yeah i agree w/ kady. i have the pistons championship dvd (i dont know if thats the same one that shes talking about) but it shows rip w/o a shirt on and there are no tatoos...sry

Posted by: janelle at October 22, 2004 06:27 PM

the dvd could of been flimed before he got the tattoos....i've seen a tat on his chest and stomach unless my mind was playing tricks on me.

Posted by: ................. at October 22, 2004 08:59 PM

what a liar. if he was ur bf maybe u shud protect hes private life u whore

Posted by: blank at October 22, 2004 11:52 PM

"if he was ur bf maybe u shud protect hes private life u whore" <---- like i said, if you dont want to believe me, you dont have to...maybe rip and i want people to know about us!

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 23, 2004 10:55 AM

do u have any proof that ur going out w/ him?

Posted by: blank at October 23, 2004 04:49 PM

like what kinda proof??

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 23, 2004 11:15 PM

Actually he does have tattoos on his chest and stomach, I have a card with a tattoo on his chest, and A couple of times during games he lifted up his shirt and it was on his stomach, its right above his belly button, kinda like where tupacs thug life is.I thought my mind was playing tricks on me a couple of times, becuase Id see it then i wouldn't but it is there, I seen it at the practice. AND like I said I have that card with him on it and his shirt is kinda pulled over to the side a bit..its the card that says MVP in the background, it white with light blue letters.
And Kennedy whatever gurl, I mean if you are you are, i guess we can't exactly make you prove it...but we dont have to believe you. But i guess a type of proof would be like pictures of you two together, like at his house (inside of course) chilling somewhere together-together not like fan standing at the palace with him, like you two kissing or something. Something that would prove it. Or a picture of you and him chilling in the locker room or something ya know.
bakc to the tats, if you have the tape where they won I think it was verse indiana, and rip has no shirt on and its mostly his back but hes going a yes sir, and he turns to the camera points at it with both fingers and says yes sir again you will see the one on his chest. Kennedy why dont you disclose this argument about tattoos since you have seen his body..sicne you supposedly have slept with him.
The one thing Kennedy that makes me NOT believe you is..well two things, 1.If you were to pick a girlfriends name..yaknow where she walked in on you two, you should have picked Courtney, bcuz that name is already in the open. and 2. Rip did not step out of the VIP room teh whole club night, and you could see in there and no one was there, and i guess 3. I walked outside early before the game ended, and I was where the players come out and stood right by rips car and there was NO ONE inside of it!!! No one ducking or anything, and when he came out allhe had with him was his guy friend, and they got in his friend in the passenger seat him and the front and left.. NO ONE ELSE WAS WITH HIM!

Kennedy i just read your post up higher, and you got hte questions wrong about his tattoos. I dont know how i can prove to you all that he has them bcuz you can't put pictures on this board and I dont know how to post video stream here..But Kennedy obviously you haven't seen the guy with his shirt off. Uh...if i figure out how to show you the picutre/card that I have i will prove to you all that he has a tattoo there. Lisa can you put pics up on this board or no? let me know..

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 24, 2004 01:28 PM

Hey Rip! I just saw snippets of the commercial that you and Ben made,...OUTSTANDING! And, you're still FINE! I would love for you to be in "The Precious Jewel" movie, when Spike Lee decides to direct it.(: I have chosen the perfect role for ya. You were made for the camera, the screen and,..ME!MMMMMMMMMUUUUUUWAH!(: Oh, JL, I'm sure you can't put pics on here. Rip, not that I'm vain or anything, but my picture will be on my web page, this winter. "My Desire" web address is: http://lisag.741.com/desire.html
Rip, you have the greatest smile around. Since I'm into old school music and I'm workin on a sex counseling degree, I'll leave ya with this lyric.(:
- I Love Your Smile
Sitting in my class,
Just drifting away.
Staring into the windows of the world
I can't hear the teacher.
His books don't call me at all.
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play. . .
Chorus:
Cause I love your smile.
I love your smile.
The clock at work says three,
And I wanna be free.
Free to scream,
Free to bathe,
Free to paint my toes all day.
My boss is lame you know,
and so is the pay.
I'm gonna put that new black mini
On my charge anyway.
(chorus)
Bridge:
Time came and showed me your direction.
Now I know I'll never ever go back.
Taught me that.
I can be a better girl
With love you give
You really rock my world.
You dig?
Rap:
I'm showin'
The life that I'm livin'.
This is the life that I have and it's given
To you.
Yeah and it's true.
La-d-da
Twinkely d
Do you
Believe in a girl like me?
I'm the one for you to be with.
But when I'm caught all alone
I start fessin'.
It's from a state of depression.
And the thunderclouds of doubt move in.
I begin to wonder "Do you still love me?"
But after that
My whole world is beautiful.
Bridge

Peace&Desire, Lisa

well Kennedy although I know you were probably being sarcastic, thanks anyway! Muwah! been fun arguing with ya.. HAHA!
Oh ladies i found the perfect picture that shows rips tattoo,
if you have the championship book called like Blue Collar something or other its hard cover very expensive, on page 34 n the right hand bottom corner he is laying it up and you can see the tattoo, not all of it, but just some of it!

Posted by: JL at October 25, 2004 08:30 AM

do you think you could find a pic of the tatoo online and give us the website? cause i cant find one anywhere :-\

Posted by: kady at October 25, 2004 05:32 PM

no i wasnt being sarcastic...you are actually very smart and you know what you're talking about. "been fun arguing with ya.. HAHA!"<---- yes yes it has been very fun...before i leave, a VERY good friend of mine would just like to say something to everyone...
Hey everyone! Thanks for supporting me and the rest of the team. We appreciate you coming out to all the games! Don't know what we'd do without you...We love you! <3 Rip Hamilton ;-) YESSIIRR!

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 25, 2004 06:26 PM

Bullshit....LOL.. Why do you even try? I almost fell out of my chair when I read that crap. If Rip saw the stuff you were posting he would run from your ass.

Posted by: RIPFAN at October 25, 2004 09:24 PM

Posted by: JL at October 26, 2004 06:21 PM

Posted by: RipFan at October 26, 2004 10:56 PM

Everyone Rip is my boyfriend ...Yeah because like today he was flirting with me and I decided to have sex with him and becuase I was just soo good he decided to date me,and his girlfriend actually left him when she caught us, and she didn't do anything to me at all, yup, and I hitch rides from him on the highway and Im this invisible person in his car. ANd I have no idea what I am tlaking about!a Yup..that is the best proof! Kennedy i am soo sorry i didn't believe you!
HAHA!

Posted by: JL at October 27, 2004 08:24 PM

thats so funny JL .. hahahahah

Posted by: blank at October 27, 2004 09:22 PM

umm...not saying that i believe kennedy, but i saw rip with a girl at a restaurant the other night...so i'm just saying that theres a SMALL chance that shes telling the truth :-\

Posted by: ;-\ at October 27, 2004 09:25 PM

Yep, that was Rip and I at Mcdonalds!

Posted by: Kennedy Trondell at October 28, 2004 12:01 AM

Well lets have kennedy descrive herself and if she fits the description of the girl..then..i guess we have to believe her. But you ahve to remember she got the questions about his tattoos wrong...so..she claims they had sex..and she didn't notice two tattoos on his chest..uh..thats pretty bad..so

Posted by: JL at October 28, 2004 12:25 PM

U know what, Kennedy dont bother girl. Dont even fret it. Ive decided this is getting tired. So lets move on to another Rip subject. I dont care if he has a girlfriend..
Anyway!
Rip didn't play so well last night, actually a lot of the team didn't play so well. Those fouls being called so close are really getting to them.

Posted by: JL at October 28, 2004 01:00 PM

umm its kinda hard to see two tattoos when your in the dark and kinda drunk :-\...i mean,i'm having sex w/ rip hamilton! the last thing on my mind was looking
