    Chauncey Billups is the man; one of my favorite NBA players.

    Man, so many people here were calling him over the hill just a year ago. It's cool how much success he's had back in his home town. Even though he's been on two teams that I didn't care too much for (do all his teams lead the league in technicals?), I still find it hard to dislike him individually.

    A true role model, professional and veteran.
    Quality article.
    I truly hope he gets another ring.

    Chauncey was/is probably the best point guard in the NBA. Not only that, he was the glue of the Detroit Piston.

    Awesome story. Anytime Tom Friend has the byline, the story's almost a certainty to be money.

    The anecdotes were on point. Great read.

    Billups has always been money.

    I can't believe how so many teams have deemed him expendable.
