Rip Hamilton backs Rasheed Wallace on 2017 Warriors vs. 2004 Pistons debate

Richard "Rip" Hamilton is the Detroit Pistons' all-time leading playoff scorer and one of the best 2-guards over the past two decades of NBA basketball.

On Monday, Hamilton decided to back up his former teammate, Rasheed Wallace, in Wallace's ongoing war of words with Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors over who would win a matchup between the 2004 Pistons and Green's Warriors title teams.

"In my Guarant-Sheed voice we would win in 6!" Hamilton said on his X account. "I see a lot of mismatches on the floor."

Hamilton has 2,467 points over the course of his Detroit Pistons playoff career, over 200 more points than Pistons legend Isiah Thomas (2,261).

Chauncey Billups (1,958), another member of the 2004 Pistons, Joe Dumars (1,752) and fellow 2004 member Tayshaun Prince (1,476) are next in line, rounding out the Pistons' all-time top five playoff scorers list.

Wallace, the man who started the alleged "beef" with Green, is sixth with 1,373 points.

"We would have beat the s--- out of the 2017 Warriors because for the simple fact they couldn't match up with us at any position," Wallace said last week . "Steph (Curry) not a defender. Draymond (Green) is too little."

Green, who spent time in Detroit's locker room growing up, responded saying that the Pistons did not score enough points per game to match up with his classic Warriors teams.

"Sheed we would've smacked y'all," Green said on X . "Y'all was scoring 72 points per game. That's not winning a half. And we putting you and them big (Air Force One shoes) in every pick and roll.

"Let's see you move them feet. That one ring was great though big bro. We all appreciated it!"

The Warriors' 2017 title team with Kevin Durant lost just one game in the playoffs, while the 2004 Pistons lost seven. The Pistons' 4-1 "five game sweep" over Shaquille O'Neal, Gary Payton, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant and the 2004 Lakers is widely regarded as one of the most well-played series in NBA playoffs history.
