Big Baby in Detroit

It's gotta be Rip Hamilton

He spent more time rolling around on the court than anyone in recent memory. Two of the "injuries" were self-inflicted. After an attempted stranglation of Ray Allen, he injures his elbow. Lesson: when strangling the person you defend, elbows are vulnerable, work to keep them down. Trying to recover from a Cassell steal, the right knee is struck, drawing a foul. The absurdity of him rolling on the floor for a national audience is beyond me. It certainly baited the ESPN boys and they responded.

I've always liked Hamilton for his offense but he came off as an extremely nasty little man in this series on the defensive end, like Reggie except that Reggie was never the weenie that Rip has become.

Yeah, if he was injured like everyone thought he was he wouldn't be hitting those jumpers.
And as far as flopper's go
he has to be the biggest one in the league.

Come on now, I know whenever I knee someone in the stomach or try to strangle someone I need to apply ice and have intense physiotherapy.

It's just common sense.
