Interesting, John Hammond just said that after the All-Star game, we see a different Rip Hamilton. Up the All-Star Game, he so much wants to be an All-Star that he tries to do a lot, but after the teams are announced (whether he gets in or not), Joe Dumars feels that he settles down and hence, becomes a different kind of threat.

This is from the pre-game radio show.
