Do yall remember when an entire NBA offense could just be running Rip Hamilton off a bunch of screens to try to free him up for a 15 footer?

Breh never shot above 50% from 2 in his career. :russ:

Used to just run side to side for 24 seconds trying to run his defender into a Wallace in the paint, and defenses would be stressed as hell about it. That’s the equivalent of D’Angelo Russell shooting a 3 this year.

Crazy that people still think some of these 90s - 00s defenses would stand a chance defending 4 or 5 out spread PnRs that modern defenses have to deal with now.

yeah, Hamilton and before that Reggie Miller did the same thing

I remember years ago Reggie told Hamilton he was the last type of player to play like that

He told him that after Detroit beat Indy in the ECF that year (the year Artest got suspended and Reggie retired).

I’ve always felt like Reggie and players like that should get more credit for being “shot creators” because in reality they create as many shots for others as anybody with their off ball movement. The amount of layups guys like Dale Davis got because two guys chased Reggie off the screen and left the screener wide amount is insane. That’s a shot Reggie (or Rip, etc) created.
