248, 539, 97, 97. Kenny, some ticket texts. Text communications. So this one, top 20 for sure,

0:09.7

but he's quickly rising, has the ability to be top five when it's all said and done.

0:15.2

Oh, I definitely think top 20. I mean, you could argue top 10 right now, I think. Someone is also curious as to, on the list of Pistons Greats, where you put a guy like

0:25.8

Rip Hamilton? He's just, well, okay, I'm not going to do blind rankings, but so here's

0:31.1

the top 10 in no particular order, okay? Isaiah Joe, Lanier, Bing, Ben Wallace, Rodman, Lambeer. Did I say Lambeer already?

0:46.7

No. Billups, Grand Hill, Hamilton, Cade. I mean, that's 11, I think. So, yeah, Rips right in there, but he's not a Hall of Famer. No, he's not. But, yeah, I would have RIP right there, somewhere in that top 10 as well. He was a key piece to a championship team. And a lot happens, Kenny, when you win the title, you get elevated. And that's basically the sentiment that's dominating the ticket text as people are saying

1:13.9

he has the potential to be one of these, you know, top five, top 10 guys of all time in the

1:19.3

Pistons organizations.

1:20.4

But he's title or nothing.

1:23.0

I mean, it seems to be everybody's hang up is when they haven't won a playoff series with him. And that's what it is. It's like, man, you want to feel good about the win last night against the Knicks. And you look at that overall record. And you're like, wow, your percentage points ahead of OKC. But then you think, look, and it's not me. It's just Trajan Langdon saying, yeahman saying yeah guys who cares we haven't won a playoff

1:46.3

game at home we haven't won a series and it was trajan kind of pouring cold water on the season

1:51.8

even after the game kate is like you know we you know we still have to do better so that's the only

1:59.3

thing right now they've they've cleared every hurdle for this regular season.

2:04.5

And now you almost want to hit the fast forward button to get to the playoff to see what

2:08.9

it is.

2:09.3

But yeah, you get that ring, you get that title.

2:12.7

And I think he goes up as one of the all-time pissed and greats.

2:16.5

I think, like I said, I look at the Isaiah and the Joes and the Lambiers because they got two titles.

2:22.8

Right.

2:23.4

And if anything, you got to look at Joe because he went out and got another title as the president that I don't think people give him credit for.

2:30.8

He put together the going to work team.

2:37.3

Yeah. So. And help destroy it too but yes he did you know what when you handcuffed the man and won't let him spend money somebody has to be
