The Secret to Richard Hamilton’s Defense

By Aron Phillips

Is that Rip Hamilton or Rick Ross?

When Ray Allen joined Michael Jordan and the rest of the Jordan Brand team in Las Vegas before training camp, Allen took the chance to get something off his mind – confronting fellow UConn alumnus Richard Hamilton about his fingernails.

“He was saying how when he saw me come out the next game with an arm sleeve on, they started laughing about it,” said Allen. “And then I said, ‘Look, man, I’m wearing an arm sleeve because…’ And then I picked his hand up and looked at his nails. And his nails were way out.

“He said, ‘Man, I didn’t know I cut people up like that. People tell me all the time that I need to cut my nails, but I don’t know what I’m doing.’ I told him, ‘Come on, dog, you know why you’re using them.’”
