As a Spurs fan great respect to Chauncey. He brought winning culture with him everywhere he went. And he never missed those darn free throws!

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

I played basketball for a school in Aurora. I was a good baller… damn good.
When Chauncey came to our school, it was like a circus, with reporters and a huge following. It was my first chance to see him and what the hype was all about.
First impression…… how are they letting this grown man on the court?!?!?!
After watching him play and seeing what he could do, it killed my dreams. I knew right then, I wasn’t pro material. He was so much stronger, faster, quicker, jumped higher, and controlled the whole floor. His vision was unbelievable. His game was levels above the rest.
Much respect
Great baller and leader.

My favorite player to watch! Congrats Chauncey B-B-B-Billups!

[keniffkeniff]

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.

Chauncey Billups is a team player and a winner.

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.

Watching Chauncey playing in the NBA was awesome, he played like a true professional, he always played hard from the beginning of the game until the end of the game...all of the new youngsters coming into the NBA need to watch Chauncey's career hilights...so they can see what it takes to be successful and have a good career playing in the NBA

A true leader, much respect to you Mr Big Shot. Nothing but love from Detroit

[robotclark]

Chauncey tore my heart out in 2004, much respect.

[jwhite_whoru]

Classic. Detroit we here. We appreciate you

[rosemseekamp]

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.

We need one of these for all the guys on the team, this series is so dope 🔥

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?
