“Malice at the Palace” “Playing with Melo” Thanks for this interview

[@JacksonBivens]

My all-time favourite point guard. I modelled my game after him. I met him once briefly in 2016 right before game three of the NBA Finals. I can’t wait to for March 7.

[@nigerianchampion2021]

That 04 Pistons Championship did so much for us in the city of Detroit. It gave us all a surge of confidence and hope that was needed at the time in our city. Much love and respect Chauncey. That entire 04 team is like a blood relative to every Detroit resident that shared that moment with y’all. Also, I hurt every time I think about that Darko over Melo draft pick, the agony man lol

[@ceo8679]

What was happening in the city them times?

[@mobetta2092]

@@ceo8679 It was kinda gloomy on the sport scene (Red Wings won but no disrespect, hockey is a Canadian sport that doesn’t garner the bragging rights nationally amongst American Sports Fans like winning a NBA, NFL, or MLB Championship) and also the city in general, including the downtown area, was not a desirable destination. Once the 2004 Pistons won, it was definitely a surge of confidence (we were in the finals again in 2005 and in contention until losing in the ECF against the Cavs), and in 2006 the Tigers were in the World Series, and in 2007 we hosted the Super Bowl and our city’s of decades of long overdue revitalization began.

[@notpolygraphk1991]

Not really only thing keeping Detroit from being Mexico is little ceaser

[@mobetta2092]

@@notpolygraphk1991 “ceaser” as in “cease,” which would translate to “stop/discontinue” or in the context that you spelled is would be “stopper”(ceaser). But it’s likely that you thought you were correctly spelling “Caeser” as in “Little Caesars.” (Instead of hanging out on KZbin and failing at spelling and attempting to be funny, visit other websites that will help you spell correctly and with funnier jokes.)

Great job again Matt & Staks. Chauncey Billups one of the most underrated player's of all time that does not get enough credit for what he did in his career n for what he did in NBA history. Luved him when he was in Detroit where he led the Pistons to win their 3rd championship in Pistons history. I luved his game n his leadership. Thanks Chauncey for what u did in ur career in NBA history. Thanks again Matt & Staks. Luv ur show n I usually wait til u guys get on UTube since I don't have cable. God Bless n Continue to strive for more on ur show.

[@CB-sj7cf]

Bump into Chauncey many times @ DTW. Real cool guy, Personable & down to earth.

[@mobetta2092]

I remember seeing him at Sweetwater Tavern in Downtown Detroit shortly after he was traded here. He was sitting a few spots down from us at the bar with another dude (this was before he was a household name and recognizable in the city unless you were a serious basketball fan like me and my guys were). I remember he was in a Pelle with some Cartiers (which was the style back then) and my homie and I acknowledged him and his partner, and chopped it up about basketball briefly…Chauncey and his homie was really cool. Then after winning the championship in 2004, a quiet guy I worked with who also worked in the Palace told me that he was at a crowded Buffalo Wild Wings and Chauncey came in with many people swarming him. He says Chauncey noticed him and came to where he and his friends were and talked for awhile and left after getting his food. He said after that, girls were suddenly interested in them 😂

[@Amick44]

Cool guy, yeah. No HOFer though. Even though he got in. Took him years to be any more than mediocre. Too long for a 3rd overall pick

[@Dumpweed971]

2004 Pistons were my favorite team of all time. I’ll always remember that tag line“Men at Work”. That’s what made them so great, no superstars, just a cohesive unit that could outwork everyone. Chauncey was the general, wouldn’t have worked without him. Awesome to see him as a coach now, it’s a natural progression.

[@marcellusjohnson1409]

When the pistons traded him I cried as a kid

[@mobetta2092]

As much as I admired Iverson for what he did in Philly I wasn’t excited about Iverson coming here at all. Iverson as a player represented everything Detroit wasn’t, which was a one-man show. Even before his first game he was complaining about not starting when Rip Hamilton had already proven to be a championship starter in this very organization…despite all of that, Rip volunteered to allow Iverson to start in order to keep friction within the organization down.
