Usually, I'm a big fan of "in the beginning" mixes because they show a star being born. This Chauncey Billups retrospective is almost the opposite of that. Sure, there are a few nice drives, and Chauncey's always been able to make it rain three's. But by and large, this does not look like a man who would one day lead a team to a championship. Maybe that tells us a lot about that Pistons bunch. Or that Billups' game today is about psychology and intelligence. Or how much of a true point guard he really is.
Okay, fine. I'm really just posting this for the haircut of Celtics-era Billups.

Now watch that... think of his potential... then say "Hmmm.. I bet I could get Gin Baker for him with a couple of trades," ... and you'll understand what's it's like being a Celtic fan these days.

Celtics were actually upset with the ping-pong balls for getting billups instead of duncan.

They didn't even keep Billups a whole season before trading him for Kenny Anderson. Damn that RP was a great GM.
Also it's funny how both Billups and CWebb had to change their numbers because of Joe Dumars. Number 4 is taken!
