Richard Hamilton promised himself that he wasn't going to cry Cheap Alabama Crimson Tide Jerseys , but when the time came to raise his Detroit Pistons' No.32 jersey to the rafters he was overcome with emotion.

The retired former NBA scoring star returned to The Palace arena on Sunday, as the Pistons retired his number at halftime of a 104-98 loss to the Boston Celtics.

Speaking to reporters before the game, Hamilton said it had been a soul-searching day but in a good way.

""I already cried three times, so I'm trying not to cry again today,"" Hamilton said.

It was an honor for Hamilton, not just because of his contributions to the team over the years, but because it reflected a healing of sorts between him and the organization.

""Detroit Cheap NCAA College Jerseys , the fans, I love you. Thanks a lot,"" a tearful -Hamilton told the crowd of 20,100.

Hamilton was the leading scorer on the Pistons' 2003-04 NBA championship team which also included Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace.

That group was so dominant in the finals that they needed just five games to topple the Los Angeles Lakers who were led by the one-two punch of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.

Those four former teammates were on hand for Sunday's celebration, and so was their coach Larry Brown Cheap Sports NCAA Jerseys , who simply filled out the starting roster then watched that -veteran group do the rest.

""You made me better every day,"" said Billups, who was MVP of the 2004 NBA finals. ""Not only did you make me better, you made our team better.""

Hamilton last played with the Pistons in an acrimonious 2010-11 season. He had a falling--out with coach John Kuester and Detroit decided to buy-out Hamilton's contract at the end of the season. That led to him joining the Chicago Bulls.

""I didn't leave here on good terms,"" Hamilton said. ""Every day I was in that locker room with that Bulls uniform on, it's like, 'This ain't me. I'm a Piston.'""

WASHINGTON Cheap NCAA Jerseys Free Shipping , Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Women who work on night shifts could have an increased risk of developing multiple common cancers, especially breast cancer, researchers from China said Monday.

Xuelei Ma, an oncologist at Sichuan University, and his colleagues performed a meta-analysis using data from 61 articles comprising 114,628 cancer cases and 3,909 Cheap NCAA Jerseys Wholesale ,152 participants from North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

It turned out that overall, long-term night shift work among women increased the risk of cancer by 19 percent.

When analyzing specific cancers, the researchers found that this population had an increased risk of skin (41 percent), breast (32 percent) Cheap NCAA Jerseys China , and gastrointestinal cancer (18 percent) compared with women who did not perform long-term night shift work.

After stratifying the participants by location, Ma found that an increased risk of breast cancer was only found among female night shift workers in North America and Europe.

""We were surprised to see the association between night shift work and breast cancer risk only among women in North America and Europe,"" said Ma. ""It is possible that women in these locations have higher sex hormone levels, which have been positively associated with hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer.""

A further analysis looked specifically at long-term night shift work and risk of six types of cancer among female nurses.

They found that those who worked the night shift had an increased risk of breast (58 percent), gastrointestinal (35 percent), and lung cancer (28 percent) compared with those that did not work night shifts.

Of all the occupations analyzed, nurses had the highest risk of developing breast cancer if they worked the night shift.

What's more Cheap NCAA Jerseys , the researchers found that the risk of breast cancer increased by 3.3 percent for every five years of night shift work.

The findings were published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

""Night shift, as a current social phenomenon, is gaining rising popularity and can have adverse effects on health,"" Ma said in an email to Xinhua. ""It's warranted for long-term night shifters to receive tumor screening. Meanwhile, personnel protection measures should be considered.""
