Best Answer

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.
