An Open Letter to Rip Hamilton from Chauncey Billups
A letter from Chauncey Billups to Rip Hamilton.
Dear Rip,
How are you man? It's only been a couple of months but it seems like years already. I'm really looking forward to March 3, finally we'll get to play against each other huh?
Shame you can't come see my new place, but being back in Motown is sure gonna be fun for me.
How is the team holding up? You guys had a pretty nice streak going a few weeks ago huh? Yeah, I know, you weren't a part of it with that nasty injury, but still at least the team is winning? Whatever it takes, right?
Rip, I wanna be serious for a moment.
I know things aren't going so well up there. I know you're kinda pissed at management, and I am, too.
They persuaded you to sign that extension and traded me a day after, that was underhanded for sure. I know you didn't want the deal to go down, and I gotta admit, even though I loved the idea of going home, it did kinda smart.
We've gotta put that behind us now. The deal is done, I'm not coming back.
I know you ...
