Anyways, I don’t view it as a slight. Personally, I love Billups. His Pistons run was amazing, and I’ve rooted for him while he was a Nugget as well, not the team, but the player. I think he’ll make a great head coach someday. 

But, it’s no disrespect wearing the #1. It’s not as if he’s wearing #4. #32? Take it, Rip Hamilton will never get his number retired, nor will he ever get consideration for the Hall of Fame. McDyess gave Detroit some good years, but not enough to consider retiring #24.

#22 will likely be retired if Tayshaun retires from Detroit, which is likely. He spent his career there and was a fan favorite. Ben Wallace would have had #3 retired, but he came back and wore #6….I’m not sure how they’ll work that? But, he’s likely a hall of famer and will definitely get a # retired in Motown.
