Hamilton got his nickname from his late father, whose own jump shots used to “rip” through the nets on the playground

i don't know if this is true or not but they were saying it before the game yesterday... he got the name from his late father like the other guy said but they were saying his father got the name because he used to rip his diapers when he was a baby.
