Many possibilities.
1. Hamilton got his nickname Rip from his DAD (who got the same nickname as a child because he ripped his diapers.) It was his Dad's nickname and it's been passed down to Richard Hamilton.
2. He rips the D of the other team
3. He rips the net with his jump shot.
I think #1 is accurate though.
