Yes, it had to be done. This appreciation is dedicated to players who never fit a team's system and fail to adapt to it. This appreciation is also dedicated to a pure scorer that will thrive in the D League. I appreciate Flip Murray because he was in the NBA and has a long shot of returning.
Thank you, Flip Murray. Although your moments never came in a Pistons' uniform, they were there. You will be missed by almost nobody other than those that joke about a certain player still being on NBA 2K's free agent list when they were bounced out of the league 6 years ago. I won't even touch Live, who still had Eddie Griffin on their free agent list.
Good luck in your future endeavors, Flip.

I appreciate that he was only involved in "one" shooting incident in metro Detroit.
I'd love to know what really happened that night. I never really bought Flip's version.

Flips problem is and always has been this; when filling in for an injured starter he plays as well as you could reasonably expect any bench player to do - but that is still not quite good enough to make him a full time starter. And he's never been able to give that same sort of production and consistency in a more limited role off the bench.
He'll never be a starter on a good team. And he'll never be a successful bench player on a good team either. However, he could actually be pretty damn good as a starter for a bad team. But bad teams usually want to develop young players.
But if anybody loses a starter to injury for a few weeks look out - Flip will be receiving a phone call.

I couldnt believe it either. Went to look up the hinrich slam & seen this 4 min vid
Always thought muarrys game was exciting. You didnt know if he was going to dribble out the shot clock, shoot a 20ft turning fade-away, get the ball stolen, go strong to the basket, etc. Whatever you could think of(negative&positive) he can do any given night. Flip was always a trip.

Actually, my version of 2k8 still has Eddie Griffin on the free agents list. Overall ranking of 79 too. In Dynasty mode some team always signs him and I feel bad if I dunk over him or something.
