Notice Chauncey Billups new Portland Trail Blazers head coach

cuz he’s fat and quirky look at that quirky mustache.

Straight hack.

 

Sexual predator!!!

 

That over the top marketing blurb says the book is about the criminal histories of players. So I'm guessing Chauncey isn't in it?

 

This book is where all the information regarding Chauncey allegations are coming from.

 

I personally think this is gonna get ugly

 

reading the response on reddit is shocking. i agree with you. the introductory PC is gonna be a disaster. Unless there are some other moves to deviate attention away from this, it's gonna linger

 

Here’s something I don’t understand, why did it take this long for this to become a problem for him?

 

Good -
No charges…….That’s it


Bad -
His story makes no sense
He settled
Only 2-11% of rape cases are false

 

I'm also guessing there are NDAs that prevent him from ever addressing it

 

My biggest fear in the whole process was the unknown of Billups. Not a lot of stuff out there on his outlook, schemes, etc. This video I found does show some of his thought process and highlights some parts of how he’ll be different than Stotts.

I think the biggest thing is, he WAS Dame. He understands the game from a PG’s perspective, and I think that clip alone shows he’s going to be MUCH more adaptable than Stotts ever was.

I liked the known abilities of MDA, but who knows, maybe Billups is the next Kerr or Nurse. A first time coach has the chance to pop and be a top tier coach vs hiring a retread like PDX usually does. Take a listen to this clip.

 

Did a little reading about the allegation, and it definitely left me queasy. I bolded that last sentence. Bruises on her throat, rectum and cervix. She was almost certainly raped, and Billups was definitely around the night it happened. And she was paid to shut up. https://www.si.com/nba/trailblazers...gation-against-chauncey-billups-trail-blazers

Should this disqualify him? I don't know. It was a long time ago and he wasn't convicted. But it's pretty grim.

 

On purely a basketball basis, I'm reasonably happy. My biggest concern with D'Antoni wasn't his offense or defense so much as his age. The guy is 70 years old.

The league is only getting younger, and I do thing an ex-player in his early 40's is going to probably relate better to the team.

If it doesn't work out, hopefully we're quicker to pull the hook on him than we were with Stotts.

 

Who is the victim here? You are about to be embarrassed intellectually and to the point where your ignorance could paint you as a bad person.

To clue you in, you have NO FUCKING IDEA what happened.

 

What blows me away is that since this allegation, hes been employed by the Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN, and the Los Angeles Clippers again as a coach, yet here we are over 2 decades later and Blazers fans are getting mad at this hire. He's won an NBA championship, a finals MVP, and is beloved in multiple cities. It's been 24 years. Hes created a hell of a career, has a wife and daughters, and is widely considered one of the greatest leaders of all time in the NBA. Instead of the dumb outrage that twitter and forums love to create, can we please give him a shot to make this team a winner like we would anyone else and stop railroading him about an allegation from the last millennium?

 

LOL, man I think people are really sick of seeing you pop your damn head into every fucking post made, get a life bro. John Canzano 2.0 with nothing to do but post 100 messages a day being a negative nancy.

And no you have no fans, you’re just a undercover troll

 

Seriously some of you bring up this rape shit are sad individuals.

 

OMG! Blazers edge and Reddit! Unbelievable.

Now tell us something we should give a shit about. Who cares

 

Should we give a shit what this guys is saying? Come on guys, you guys are being such drama queens with this shit

 

Most likely

 

Skeletons maybe. Violent felonies?
I have no direct knowledge either. Maybe team thoroughly investigated. Maybe he was only tangentially involved.
But, you know, no one was convicted of the murder of Nicole Brown and she is dead.
