Playing in that era of slow, low scoring, defense focused basketball too. He would have been an absolute menace playing in a fast paced, three point focus era. Top caliber playmaker and floor general
Growing up in Michigan and going to the games in the early 2000s really made me love basketball. Seeing Chauncey lead the team and make everyone around him better was inspirational. I’ll never forget sitting in the nosebleeds watching them win the finals in 2004. Changed my life forever.
Not yet, even better let’s find Kenyon a less laughable podcast to be a part of. Him and Sheed would be wild. Very different men, went head to head in the power forward golden era.
@@michaelhillary6810 huh? It’s not that deep at all.. growing up in Detroit in the 90’s n seeing billups n the squad being one of the best teams of the 00’s was astronomical for kids of my generation.. smh tf be to y’all?
I gained mad respect for Melo when he joined the Blazers...Chauncey I've always loved as a player....hope to see him win as a coach soon though..and coach in the post season for a change
Billups will run the Pistons sooner than later, it’s where he belongs and where he’s Beloved for Eternity and Beyond. Come home #CLUTCH1 where you belong 🐐❤️🙏💯
Billups is DEFINITELY one of the best Floor Generals of All-Time. He's in the same category as Chris Paul, John Stockton, Baron Davis, Magic Johnson, Deron Williams, etc. its only right that he's a Head Coach now.
Man this is a legendary episode. U got Melo, my first favorite basketball player and Chauncey who played on Pistons, my first favorite NBA team. Takes me back to when I would look for Melo’s HS game recap in The Baltimore Sun and back to when I started actually loving the game. That Pistons roster literally shaped how I approached the game as a young kid. All I cared about was defense. Idk no kid that walks around saying they love playing defense but it was def me. Love y’all man and love seeing our vets transitioning into the next phase/level/chapter. It is inspiring to witness the journey. Literally it’s been over 20 yrs and I’m still tuning in.
The slim Charles Reference was so off the wall funny I’m in my head like “Mero you got to stoooooop B” lmao 🤣 bro really pulls them joints out of a hat 🎩 with a full clip 😭😭😭
My first jersey ever in my life was chaunce, I wore his shoes when i attempted to play, this man is a legend for people my age in Detroit suburbs. It’s funny back when i was a kid i always assumed the pistons would be considered an elite team like the red wings, but never saw the lions becoming the savior 😂. Great interview loving the pod!
Surprised they didn’t talk about Chauncey basically calling Melo selfish back in 2019. What happen to no team is going to pick up him up because scoring 30 means too much to him?
Another great episode. I love the way y’all give us a peek behind the curtain… I would love to hear from Wilson Chandler on what was the pressure like replacing Melo in Denver..
Mr big shot ! Man I used to love the 2004-2006 pistons team even though they beat my lakers man that starting 5 had a good run they almost had back to back but spurs got lucky like always man lol I love it ! Sheed, Big Ben, prince, rip
@@clutch7548 they lost tho Lol no1 cares how close you were when you don't get it done...it's the finals the games shud be close one team are champions and the other is one of the 31 that didn't win shit Lol
@slycooper1979 Lol that's the biggest looser mentality I ever heard smh.. but you right there is lame loosers in the world but we talkin about the NBA top athletes aren't wired that way🤷🏽♂️
This was like listening to my first Cameo album i bought at 14-Innnnnnnncredible! "Knights of the Sound Table"...Lit, it Slaps, fire, Dope, Slick, Duh Bomb
I will always respect the Pistons because of how much they hurt me with my first betting loss. That sh*t hurt. That team played the best team ball I’ve ever seen.
The parts where they’re discussing older players meeting younger ones in the middle give a bit of insight as to why dame wanted to leave the younger the team got. Which when I think about it I don’t blame him at all if you’re really serious about winning
Yea he sed over and over he didn't believe in leaving and joining up and he wanted to stay with the team that drafted him then all of sudden changed up smh pple dnt respect that
Good Pod. Melo have to be the most laidback person I’ve ever watched champ lol cool as hell. Yall gotta Kenyon Martin on here and KG eventually he is hella entertaining
