Who the heck is Chauncey Billups?


Hmmm...in light of all of the notes on how consistantly well the our Nuggets have been doing after the Denver Nuggets roster change and the beginning of the month (removing Allen Iverson in trade for Chauncey Billups), I thought it was high time we learned a little more about the NBA superstar. So here's what I've dug up on the subject:

>>He's originally from Denver. But we already knew that. I was just testing you on that one.

>>He played college ball at the University of Colorado, where his jersey (number four...) was retired upon his graduation.

>>He's played for a LOT of NBA teams. Beyond his (now two) stints on the Denver Nuggets roster, Billups has played for the Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors.

>>Billups is married (wife: Piper...sorry ladies) with three young kids, all of whose names start with the letter "C". Awww, isn't that cute.

>>He has an endorsement deal with Vitamin Water, just like Kelly Clarkson. I wonder if he'll get his own line, too...

>>He's an Olympic gold medalist. For basketball, of course!

At first, I was weary about the trade for Billips.

and I'm still not sure about it...I'll admit though, he's growing on me.
