    To me, he was one of the greatest leaders the game has ever seen. The way he talks and his presence, so calm, so methodical but yet so confident and powerful. Just like his game.
  • @Sports9TV
    I still remember when Chauncey and the Pistons won the NBA title 🔥🔥🔥

    Growing up in Colorado “CB” is the hero of Basketball here. Congrats on the Hall of Fame and Thank you for everything you do for our community! Well deserved Mr.Billups!
  • When the guest has an opportunity to tell their story uninterrupted--these are the best interviews. LOVED IT!!!! Didn't know who Chauncey Billips was until he, Rip, Rasheed, Ben, and Prince came to town and SPANKED my Sixers in the playoffs. Always admired his game...he reminded me of Mo Cheeks in his style of play--he definitely controlled the game as he set the tone for his teammates. A true leader on the court. Thanks, for the video!!!!!

    Mr. Bigshot himself. One of the top PG’s of my lifetime. Period.

    Matisse man.. your videos have always been exceptional, but this one takes the cake. The directing, the editing, and just letting Chauncey tell his story how he wanted to.. AMAZING.

    We need one of these for all the guys on the team, this series is so dope 🔥
  • @rosemseekamp1828
    So very good. Not surprised Chauncey is able to narrate his basketball life in such an interesting and heartfelt manner, as he appears this positive and sincere in every press conference. His dedication to his family, his team, and the players is evident in the way he speaks of them and his relationship to them. As he often says, "they play the game the right way" and Chauncey seems to be playing the "game of life" the right way. Thanks, Matisse for another engaging and well-done video.

    Grew up in Denver got his sister Maria her first job in Finance. Chauncey always did his own thing when there were so many influences (Bloods as in Gang, girls) that could of taken him down. He is a pillar and I wish him the best.
  • @rjmacready9828
    A true leader, much respect to you Mr Big Shot. Nothing but love from Detroit
  • @ty350n6
    this is a dream come true, watching a doc on one of my favourite players all time made by my favourite player is the best. Thank you Tisse, as a Blazer fan being a core part of the team culture and as an aussie baller gives people like me dreams to play a sport we all love! Also thank you for telling the story of people like Chaunce, Duop etc. PLEASE, PLEASE keep making these they're awesome 👍 Could you make a vid on how it was for you playing college ball and getting to the league?
