    You need to stop being so skeptical about everything. Get out more.

    Come off as a stable family man?

    WTF.

    Look at his social media. Do even a TINY bit of research on Chauncey's family. See how much they mean to him and how they have been there during every big event in his life.

    So you seriously think that the media should've thought "we shouldn't ask questions about the rape allegations because... wife and kids"?

    Of course nothing is their [wife and kids] fault, but given that this was 100% going to happen, whoever decided that they should be there seems more at fault than the press, who would be abdicating their responsibility if they didn't ask.

    Besides, even if this is CHAUNCEY'S proud day, it's not necessarily the family's. Most kids that age don't give a shit about their parent's jobs. And that's as it should be - they're kids.

    Chauncey's family was there for a reason. To support him, and revel in his accomplishment. Nothing more, nothing less. He's a big family man. They mean everything to him. They have a very tight Family here in Denver. Stop this motive BS.

    I think the Blazers should push that angle if it comes to it and this isn't going away. "The local media, in historically racist Oregon, are conducting a Witch Hunt for a black man who was accused of rape 25 years ago. Despite numerous organizations vetting Billups and clearing his name. Despite no criminal charges, Portland's mostly White Sports Media continues to harass this black man in front of his wife and daughters. One has to wonder if a racial motivation isn't behind this continued witch hunt."

    That will cause the SJW idiots heads to explode. They will have to decide between a BLM frame on Facebook, or a MeToo frame, knowing if they accept one they can't have the other. "OH MY GOD THE LOST VIRTUE THAT I COULD SIGNAL WHILE NEVER, EVER, EVER LIFTING A FUCKING FINGER TO HELP THE GROUPS I OSTENSIBLY SUPPORT!"

    I can't stand these people. Little Davos Technocrat useful Idiots to boot.

    Do you think the average rager on twitter cares about reality?

    This was about how to present him to all the angry people in Portland.

    I didn't realize that this was such a conspiracy.

    Anne Peterson is the AP sports reporter for this area. She covers just about everything sports-related, including college and professional sports. I've always enjoyed her covered on things. Very knowledgeable and doesn't include herself in the story like a few around here are known to do.

    I have seen at least one post in this forum and some on other sites that were curious about the 5 year contract. A 5 year contract for a 1st time coach does seem a bit long.

    BTW, she was called upon twice to ask questions.

    Oh, okay (I didn't watch). Even more so - my son is 22 and he couldn't care less about my job. Sure, I'm not an NBA coach, but maybe they don't even like basketball.

    I'm still mystified by "digging".

    This is a great question! One you won't find on Blazersedge, because the Politburo will have deleted it in real time!

    She's also older than dirt and covered the team since back when I was there. Maybe not quite as old as you though :devilwink:

    So you're saying Olshey shouldn't've hired Billups. Because that's the only way to avoid this.

    The rape allegations were clearly addressed before media questioning...they just wanted dirt...details and to sow some doubt into the hiring and yes...I think that Casey Holdhal, Kerry Eggers or Brook Shields would have avoided rape questions in front of teenage girls and also...if you think teenage girls don't care about public embarrassment, you've never raised one

    As you are clearly omniscient, you can clear up this whole rape accusation thing by confirming Billups's version.

    Then Neil's place in a SpaceX rocket headed to the surface of the Sun will be cancelled in exchange for building a 30-foot bronze statue of Olshey on the waterfront. If we get Ben Simmons for CJ I mean, guys, we're gonna win a Championship. I mean that.
