Jay Low you might love the pistons but if they drafted Carmelo or wade they would still be winning rings lol.....and you can blame big nasty cornellius Williamson ben and Rasheed Wallace Lindsey hunter chauncey elden campbel and the coach larry brown for ruining darkos potential by crushing his spirit and being way to hard on him and making him the scapegoat by bullying him and not playing him.....i feel even dirk would have failed and lost confidence under those jerks horrible guidance....they were more scared of keeping their own jobs on the team and keeping jobs open for for american players then helping this foreign kid take their spots....ginobli parker dirk yao ming pay gasol Marcieji lampe the league was so diverse and people started loving international players so pistons took it upon themselves to not buy into that for bigotry reasons....rip and Tayshaun didn't help either by just staying quiet not standing up for the kid....that team was a mess of personalities lol they sold their souls for 1 title because instead of helping darko grow by playing him letting him play through mistake gain confidence and risk losing some games that year for future wins in the next few years.... and becoming a dynasty in the future with darko as the lead and everyone else supporting him ...the pistons wanted to win now with the current black guys who the organization felt represent the league and city well especially as the faces of a title team not the finesse quiet euro....and they go their wish because the lakers were a bigger mess lol ..they were bad before the Rasheed trade so why not play darko more early lol hes a number 2 pick???? if they wanted win now players draft Carmelo or wade or trade down for some vets lol dumars is an idiot....people give him credit for getting Rasheed but he is the reason darko sucks because dumaras added another loudmouth knucklehead who probably bullied and hurt darkos chances of playing more or chances of gaining confidence and becoming truly great so dumars getting Rasheed hurt darko lol....and if the lakers weren't dysfunctional and won like they should have that pistons team would have exploded and been looked at like a joke lol
Kenyon Martin from 2003-2009 he went to 6 straight conference finals ...consistent comes to mind......he averaged always like 18 and 7 lol hes a hall of famer
p8chill As a long time Portland resident, Rasheed really doesn't like to talk to the press. Unless ESPN was paying for his time, he wouldn't do an interview. Even if they did, Rasheed wouldn't say too much anyways. Unlike most Portland fans, I thought Rasheed was a great team player who really could play defense and understood how to play the game.
People demonized Iverson, but Larry Brown was a difficult guy to play for...he was highly critical, publicly so. His idea of "The right way" didn't always make sense, when games were too close or you were losing. Great coach and teacher...also a great man about his where he would challenge his guys to deal with the difficult and get out of their own way...but people chose not to look at Larry in many spats and dysfunction in the Sixer days.
Larry was a bit of a drama queen. He has a bit of Al Davis's selfishness/ego/craziness in him, which figures, since they're both guys from Long Beach on Long Island.
Kenyon Martin is the type of dude you see playing ball and think "that dude be in jail for life if it wasnt for basketball" The dude hasnt left his ghetto mentality go. Which isnt a good thing. All the other guys usually do because they gain from it.
***** Yeah because as soon as you take a look at Kenyon you think "that'd guy would be a CEO of a big company". Also theres this thing called the inrenet that you're using right now. It allows you to look in to famous peoples lifes. ***** I guess you didnt bother to look in to his life. He used to fight on the streets and be a drug dealer before he got good at ball.
***** If you actually know about Kenyon's background, and his life before the NBA, and then see him play, you would understand Plague Doc's logic. I'm Black and I agree with him. It's not really a race thing. If Birdman had the same background, and I would think the same with him too.
Yeah LB is honestly one of the most overrated douchebag coaches in hoops history but he's from that Dean Smith UNC lineage so he's looked at in a different light
You two idiots have no idea what you are talking about...Larry Brown is one of the greatest coaches of all time (still the ONLY coach to win an NCAA and NBA championship and one of the true teachers of this game) and Chauncey definitely needed work at running the point right when he got there in Detroit. Frankly...I've always thought he was overrated and the 3rd best player when they were at the top after Big Ben and Sheed.
I_Buy Houses Naw, Chauncey's hard work and perseverence recovering from injuries early in his career is what made him. Hitting big 3s in the playoffs is what made him. Going toe to toe with any other PG in his time is what made him. Not some overrated blowhard rookie hating, 3 point shot hating 2nd rate "legend" that took damn near 30 years to win ONE title at the pro level.
Chauncey Billups would make a great head coach if he decides that what he wants to do. He may be a better GM. He's definitely a talented person who could help any organization.
I remember in 4th grade watching my 05 Heat take the Pistons to 7 games in the ECF. Man I hated the Pistons back then lol. Luckily we got our revenge in 06, but looking back on those Pistons now, I realize how legendary they were. I mean, Billups, Rip, Rasheed, and then Big Ben and Prince with the lockdown defense. That team had it all!
The pistons haven't won a playoff game since the Chauncey trade, facts. They went from being at top 3 team in the east every year to averaging a losing record.
Chauncey was a counselor on the court. Yeah he shoots big shots, and playmake when need be, but he was best at controlling and commanding the court, just controlling the energy of the game.
cnl1213 Yeah-his leadership was a big part of his game-the Nuggets were a 1st round team before he took them to the conference finals in 2009. the Pistons were never the same after he was traded...
Chunchy, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace and Tyson Prince, those 03-07 are one of my favorite teams ever, and that 2003-04 team is perhaps the best defensive team ever. They were the best defensive team of the greatest defensive era during the league toughest defensive era being 1998-2005.
How do these men come into existence? He must've had a great father and mother. I wish I could become a great man like Chauncey. I just don't know how to do it. I'm lost. The world will be fine without me, but I wish I could contribute like he has to mankind. Love ya brother. Maybe one day...
You may not know what your purpose is but there’s one person who does and that’s God my brother. Turn to Him my brother trust me you won’t regret. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!
when someone has a good heart and a good moral compass to begin with - its much easier for them to be "honest" because the way they are perceiving and analyzing situations they are talking about, comes from a more grounded place. I HATED the Piston teams Chauncey played on (because I was a Kobe fan growing up) but nothing but respect for him (that opinion just coming from the energy he gives)
I read somewhere recently that Darko used to smoke like 2 packs a day. I'm not sure that anyone would be able to compete at an NBA level after 50 or 60 cigarettes every day
I met billups many years ago at a football game when my cousin played professional football. I remember as a kid being so happy to see him so I went up and spoke to him in awe. It was him and like 3-4 other guys. Billups was not only very rude but completely blew me off on conversation. Moreso acting out with his boys around I assume. Although ive forgiven him for acting as he did to me as I was a child I know a lot of celebrities get tired of seeing fans. Nonetheless I have no respect for this man because of that day. I hope he has changed for his owm sake.
I always felt LB didn't like CB. Just based on his playing style. (I love Chauncey btw.) Which is why i wasn't surprised to see him ABSENT from Chauncey's jersey retirement ceremony even after he attended Ben Wallace's ceremony.
Chauncey is such a likeable guy. Great leader
NickB33 great analyst too. Speaks the truth and never erupts
Chauncey needs to be coaching or in a front office. Way to smart of a guy to just be doing ESPN
Hell yeah!
Why so he has to travel every day and get fired after a year and q half like every other NBA coach besides 3 or 4 guys
That's why he's doing TV. He's smart.
You called this
You were right.
"Larry is never happy unless he is unhappy"- Bill Walsh in Winning Time.
Makes me yearn for the days of Melo, Chauncey, KMart, JR and Birdman. What a cast of characters. And they were fun to watch almost every night too.
Marcus Camby also
You put birdman over nene c'mon homeboy. Nah I'm playing dont forget arron afflalo
@@BeFreeIsMe and Nene and Affalo
That Nugs team was Rocky Mountain HIGH.....and this was before weed became legal
Love this guy man, I was in the 8th grade when the Pistons won the championship, I was like the only dude rooting for them
I'm a laker fan and I have repressed that memory, thanks for bringing it back up bro...
haha :X
juniortim33 well you aren't helping yourself by coming to this video
Jay Low i was soooo rooting for the pistons... ben wallace and sheed, rip, mr bigshot

Chauncey's a hall of famer
Your a thug
Couldn't agree more. True pistons fans wont forget this cat.
CKxOBEY RioTzz you're
Kenyon Martin from 2003-2009 he went to 6 straight conference finals ...consistent comes to mind......he averaged always like 18 and 7 lol hes a hall of famer
herogibson *Hero Gibson
They should interview Rasheed Wallace. That would be awesome.
p8chill As a long time Portland resident, Rasheed really doesn't like to talk to the press. Unless ESPN was paying for his time, he wouldn't do an interview. Even if they did, Rasheed wouldn't say too much anyways. Unlike most Portland fans, I thought Rasheed was a great team player who really could play defense and understood how to play the game.
p8chill lol i was just thinking that too since they had both RIP and CB
p8chill He'd just somehow end up with two T's before the interview reached the halfway mark.
StarryStarryNocturne lmao that got me
"BOTH TEAMS PLAYED GOOD"
Chauncey was so underrated he was an amazing floor general solid defender and hit so many big shots I’d vote him in hall of fame
Ben Wallace was the guy not to run into in a dark alley
lol why big ben is a class act
Kenyon Martin You can tell that he is a good dude, but even Ron Artest knew better than to fight him back.
Chad Tep of course nobody would want to get on big bens badside good thing he was a nice dude
jasongenovasithlord bama boy !!!
Ben is a chill, nice dude though.
People demonized Iverson, but Larry Brown was a difficult guy to play for...he was highly critical, publicly so. His idea of "The right way" didn't always make sense, when games were too close or you were losing. Great coach and teacher...also a great man about his where he would challenge his guys to deal with the difficult and get out of their own way...but people chose not to look at Larry in many spats and dysfunction in the Sixer days.
Lol
Larry was a bit of a drama queen. He has a bit of Al Davis's selfishness/ego/craziness in him, which figures, since they're both guys from Long Beach on Long Island.
The dude on the left was staring through Chaunceys soul... he probably took brownies and hit the J before he went there. Lol
Kenyon Martin is the type of dude you see playing ball and think "that dude be in jail for life if it wasnt for basketball" The dude hasnt left his ghetto mentality go. Which isnt a good thing. All the other guys usually do because they gain from it.
He said thinks, don't get so offended. You Kenyon's kinfolk lmao!?
***** Yeah because as soon as you take a look at Kenyon you think "that'd guy would be a CEO of a big company". Also theres this thing called the inrenet that you're using right now. It allows you to look in to famous peoples lifes. ***** I guess you didnt bother to look in to his life. He used to fight on the streets and be a drug dealer before he got good at ball.

jdac22 Finally someone who's bright enough to understand it has nothing to do with race.
Future Hall Of Famer Chauncey Billups.
_Wait! I thought he was already there._
denver misses you chauncey!
Detroit misses him
Shawn DBlock
Detroit borrowed him lol
***** ur mom misses him
GrassValleyGreg lol but he won a ring in Detroit
Savage King
Still borrowed...
Chauncey is the coolest cat ever! haha...JR has thanked me for SEVERAL things!"
Chauncey the best..my favorite player commentator now..
Im a Lakers fan and i rock wit Billups he was a Factor
I love J.R. Definitely sounds like something he would do.
i like honest players. no P.C crap. obviously be appropriate but speak your mind and speak the truth
Chauncey is "REAL", Awesome athlete and wise beyond his years!
One of my favorite Nuggets ever!
Miss watching Chauncey play. This dude knew how to play point guard man, LB is full of shit..
Yeah LB is honestly one of the most overrated douchebag coaches in hoops history but he's from that Dean Smith UNC lineage so he's looked at in a different light
LB made Chauncey into the player he is
You two idiots have no idea what you are talking about...Larry Brown is one of the greatest coaches of all time (still the ONLY coach to win an NCAA and NBA championship and one of the true teachers of this game) and Chauncey definitely needed work at running the point right when he got there in Detroit. Frankly...I've always thought he was overrated and the 3rd best player when they were at the top after Big Ben and Sheed.
He said that LB said "he had no idea how to play the position for me" as in for LB as a coach. He did mean that he didn't know how to play smart guy.
I_Buy Houses Naw, Chauncey's hard work and perseverence recovering from injuries early in his career is what made him. Hitting big 3s in the playoffs is what made him. Going toe to toe with any other PG in his time is what made him. Not some overrated blowhard rookie hating, 3 point shot hating 2nd rate "legend" that took damn near 30 years to win ONE title at the pro level.
bu bu bu billups! thanks mason.
Who doesn't like chauncey? he's a mogul nigga
Mile High City's Finest. Chauncey a cool dude.
Chauncey Billups would make a great head coach if he decides that what he wants to do. He may be a better GM. He's definitely a talented person who could help any organization.
But when Iverson had the same issues with Larry Brown, Iverson was vilified.
He was vilified over practice! Not a game... practice!
Man Chauncey should be a comedian the way he tells stories lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
I remember in 4th grade watching my 05 Heat take the Pistons to 7 games in the ECF. Man I hated the Pistons back then lol. Luckily we got our revenge in 06, but looking back on those Pistons now, I realize how legendary they were. I mean, Billups, Rip, Rasheed, and then Big Ben and Prince with the lockdown defense. That team had it all!
LEGEND
i really like mr big shot!! very good ball player
Such a polished and genuinely charming guy.
JR Smith has thanked me for SEVERAL things.. that is one of them lol
i live in michigan and was a big pistons fan when chauncey played.. so was everyone.. team has been shit ever since he left
Detroit thanks you CB. I grew up in Flint MI but we loved our 2000's Pistons. That team could hoop with the best of them.
Love this dude. And his game. And that team. Spectacular.
Yet that popcorn prank wasn't the worst decision JR will make
Lmaoooooo
Lolll
🍿🍿
bomani Jones just be blinking lmao
The pistons haven't won a playoff game since the Chauncey trade, facts.
They went from being at top 3 team in the east every year to averaging a losing record.
J.R. must have been feeling himself a little too much to do that to Kenyon. He deserved whatever Kenyon was going to do to him.
This is a GREAT interview!
Chauncey was a counselor on the court. Yeah he shoots big shots, and playmake when need be, but he was best at controlling and commanding the court, just controlling the energy of the game.
cnl1213 Yeah-his leadership was a big part of his game-the Nuggets were a 1st round team before he took them to the conference finals in 2009. the Pistons were never the same after he was traded...
6:31 look at bo body language, lol wow!!!
Chunchy, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace and Tyson Prince, those 03-07 are one of my favorite teams ever, and that 2003-04 team is perhaps the best defensive team ever. They were the best defensive team of the greatest defensive era during the league toughest defensive era being 1998-2005.
Probably the reason Larry Brown ain't in the league anymore - 1:32
I miss this show
Go Buffs Chauncey! Go Buffs!
Detroit stand up!
That tie is on fleek!!
Mr. Big Shot should've gotten Larry Brown fired
How do these men come into existence? He must've had a great father and mother. I wish I could become a great man like Chauncey. I just don't know how to do it. I'm lost. The world will be fine without me, but I wish I could contribute like he has to mankind. Love ya brother. Maybe one day...
Just do good and be kind to others.
You may not know what your purpose is but there’s one person who does and that’s God my brother. Turn to Him my brother trust me you won’t regret. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!
he should do 2021 version and spill a pool of Hennessy in his car
Chauncey a real cool dude. Respect👍
Chauncey has been my top 5 guards to watch play growing up
Kenyan can have a cocktail or two....or eight lmaoooo
At 1:33 Bomani look like he bout to throw his head back and scream with a lisp... " Deez nuts!!! GOTEEM!!! HA!!! goteem…"
I love this interview.
Chanuncy as a TV head = surprisingly great!
Mr big shot right here he's every bit worthy of that name
the guy in the middle always rubs me the wrong way. the way he points and laughs at the people he interviews seems disrespectful in a way.
Billups always keep it real but Pistons idiots for not drafting Melo , or Wade
Looking back Wade was a mistake for sure but Melo? Not trying to be rude but you honestly still think that ?
Young Melo with that squad would've been contenders for years straight
Smart for not picking Melo. Should of picked Wade of course.
rebar33 your stupid as hell don’t talk basketball
xxSAGACITYxx your a casual basketball fan
Chauncey was the truth. Never going to put up best stats on a championship team but always wins and made others better. Great leader
when someone has a good heart and a good moral compass to begin with - its much easier for them to be "honest" because the way they are perceiving and analyzing situations they are talking about, comes from a more grounded place. I HATED the Piston teams Chauncey played on (because I was a Kobe fan growing up) but nothing but respect for him (that opinion just coming from the energy he gives)
Bomani Jones is a martian...
juniortim33 he blinks suspiciously too much
He blocked me on twitter for telling him he looks like a Martian from Mars Attacks lol
Classy guy!
I hated this guy in 2004 finals! To me, he didn’t miss a shot and all his passes resulted in assist. -laker fan
Chauncey is great the 2 dorks interviewing him are, well...ummm... #dorks!🤓🏀
Chauncey should be in the Hall of Fame.
favorite player of all time
The best athlete to come out of Denver
Billups seems cool a fuck.
Now I’m about to pull up some Chauncey highlights..
I remember them bad boy pistons mayneee
Pistons would have drafted Melo his carer would have been 10x better as far as winning is concerned
Damn.... Pistons made a HUGE mistake that draft...
Chauncey,
Great stories but, we need you to come to DC to take over the GM spot for the Wizards.
They bleeped Papi saying "crap"...
Ma boy melo woulda had 2 rings
Why didnt they ask him about the Knicks amnestying him?
Its a reason I always and forever will fuck with billups and that Detroit team straight goons and I'm a celtics fan....
Chauncey looks like those green alien monsters from the Simpsons...Kang and Kodos
Talks like them too
Billups is a kool dude 😎
I would’ve done the popcorn prank to KMart the next night. THAT would be FUNNY!
That's that 2k 17 my career mode prank
I read somewhere recently that Darko used to smoke like 2 packs a day. I'm not sure that anyone would be able to compete at an NBA level after 50 or 60 cigarettes every day
wait. this was back in 2004??? quality is really nice
박준호 no... he?s sharing a story from back then
Billups trying to steal credit from coach brown. Typical.
Man JR from the streets of NJ Kenyon woulda been on a bullseye in NY/NJ
Really cool guy
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed !
Chauncey is one of the best basketball analysts.Even though I am Celtics fan Paul Pierce looks stupid with his comments sitting beside him
K mart Saginaw's finest. What up tho...
Basketball is a political, popularity based sport
MR. BIG SHOT
I met billups many years ago at a football game when my cousin played professional football. I remember as a kid being so happy to see him so I went up and spoke to him in awe.

after jr smith imploded in the finals lebron james probably wishes billups had allowed nature to take its course.
That was funny
😂 😂 😂 😂
You shouldn’t have saved JR Smith’s life the cavs could’ve won game one last year
😂😂😂🤣🤣😂👍
I always felt LB didn't like CB. Just based on his playing style. (I love Chauncey btw.) Which is why i wasn't surprised to see him ABSENT from Chauncey's jersey retirement ceremony even after he attended Ben Wallace's ceremony.
Hilarious 😂
