I still remember when Chauncey and the Pistons won the NBA title 🔥🔥🔥
A ture underdog story
Was in though? Did Laks play their best?
@@DrivenA111that is thee most retarded reply I’ve ever seen.
So do I. My wife was a big fan of the teamwork shown by that Pistons team. Rasheed might have been the most... noticed player, but she and I paid the most attention to the way Rip and Chauncey played their own game- within- the- game.
@@DrivenA111 They were outclassed, outplayed. That's what happened to The Lakers
I love Chauncey Billups as a player, coach and gentleman 👑
I'm from Detroit and when we got Chauncey I celebrated and new were contenders and a piece or 2 away. Once we got Sheed I celebrated knew we already won the championship. Greatest Defensive team ever. Literally. Held the most teams under 70 ever and under 100 ever. They were so dominant defensively that teams celebrated when they scored 70 points even though they lost and got whooped. 😄 I'll never forget the Nets celebrating 70 points when they lost and they just played and lost in the NBA finals.
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.
You nailed it. His leadership and mental game are unmatched. He really was the best leader and floor General of his generation. He played the game like chest and lead his teams better than every PG he played against and he played against all of them and his generation had alot of great PGs. Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Allen Iverson, Chris Paul, Tony Parker and even Steph Curry when Chauncey was old and Steph just came into the league. There are a lot more guys to that I can't remember. I'm truly grateful and honored to be from Detroit and seeing live in person at the games lead Detroit to greatness.
Fastest 33mins of my life, pleasure to listen to Chauncey
Man.. couldn’t believe he put all of that in 33 mins
%100 very impressive
You weren't lying
He's such a great speaker and LEADER.
Yeah. Could have been 3 hours. Easy
Being a life long Detroiter and Pistons fan, we are so proud of you. U gave us some of the best years of Pistons basketball. #mrbigshot #1
He will always be Mr. Big Shot
Chauncey Billups is a team player and a winner.
Good stand up man too.
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!
Yeah exactly pass first point first that's the way i play
Yet y'all don't give Melo no love...smh
@@louiewavey3687exactly smh
I'm sorry he not a hall of famer
He did enough here in detroit to be hof he is the man
My favorite player to watch! Congrats Chauncey B-B-B-Billups!
Being apart of the B-B-B-Billups and B-B-B-BEN Wallace pistons was the best time ever. Best homecourt advantage I've ever witnessed. I've never seen a fan base embrace their team like that 04 pistons team. It was surreal to be a part of.
Pride of Park Hill!! Denver legend
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.
Chauncey tore my heart out in 2004, much respect.
Bruh… Mr. Big Shot, T-Mac, VC and Camby all on the same team sounds amazing! Imagine that lineup together in their primes in Toronto!!
What could’ve been! 😭
As a raptors fan I heard that and shedded a tear 😂

@@Geronimo410 I sincerely hope English isn't your first language
@@Loquacious_Jackson and if it is it doesn't make a difference
Classic. Detroit we here. We appreciate you
A true leader, much respect to you Mr Big Shot. Nothing but love from Detroit
We need one of these for all the guys on the team, this series is so dope 🔥
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.
Well said! Could not agree more. (Except don’t leave out Matthew Adekponya he’s making this series w/ Matisse and is also brilliant.)
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?
Why you spell favorite like that?
MATISSE IS BACK 🔥🔥🔥
Again! 😊
I grew up in Colorado and played against Chauncey in highschool. Its so great seeing him now as a coach. With his mentality, you can bet that eventually whatever team he's coaching, they will soon win.
Matisse, you have a talent in capturing a great story. I grew up here in RipCity and I'm a huge fan of our team. This has been really cool learning more about Coach Billups especially now that he is about to enter the Hall of Fame. Thank you for an incredible story and I can't wait to see what else you put out on your channel moving forward. Great job!!! Fan of you also on the court and can't wait until you are playing again. Go RipCity!!!
Very cool
My love for basketball started because of those Detroit teams. To hear this part of Chauncey's story is amazing. Thank you for creating this.
Chauncey was a total legend during my formative years growing up outside Detroit. Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Prince ... all of them united by Chauncey. What a great interview!
We grew up playing in the alley together on 30th and olive! Happy for you my guy! Park Hill stand up
Mr. Bigshot himself. One of the top PG’s of my lifetime. Period.
Agree 100%..
Chauncey was so fun to watch as a kid. My neighbors had season tickets so when they wouldn’t go to the games they would give them to my mom to take me down to The Palace. so many fond memory’s watching the Pistons during that era
He is an amazing champion! So glad we got to enjoy his greatness and leadership in Detroit! Keep thinking back on how good the Raptors could have been WHOA!!!!
Dude deserves his flowers definitely inspirational
Great content Tisse! I think we are lucky to have Chauncey at this time. He has helped the youngsters while also being a steady leader for the vets. His experiences are invaluable ! Congrats to Coach on the Hall of Fame recognition! Go Blazers!
Great Content! Chauncey seems like a good man
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.
That was a great listen - the title hit it just right. As a lifelong Blazer fan I think I have to feel a lot better about the mentality of the coach of the team and his temperament in leading these young fellas...
The production is unbelievably well done. You've done a great job Matisse!
great interview, great editing, great story. fastest 30mins spent.
I love these interviews/talks by Matisse!
This is such a great format! Please keep making more of these, especially from the old school basketball players.
Hoping Chauncey is our long term coach in Portland. Impressed with his patience and tempearment.
EXACTLY!!! 🎯 Now that we know his true story, we realize just how perfect he is to lead our young core through these growing pains. I love him a lot. ❤
Hope so too; coaches don’t tend to last long with sub-par talent. Needs great ownership and front office
Great video, as usual. Chauncey from what I can tell is a great person and it’s interesting to look in to his life. Let’s go Blazers🔴⚫️🔥
One of my favorite Pistons! Amazing interview, keep em coming 🙌🏽🔥
One of the most underrated players ever
I didnt know i needed this. Thank you 🙌🏾
This is refreshing, so different than other ball CZcams videos
Denver native here born an raised. it's so easy to listen to cb such a good leader man
Great listen. Chauncey really is the perfect mentor for Scoot. Excited to see him grow!
Tisse, I love how connected to reality you are. You seem so humble and appreciative of the little things in life.
Chauncey was great to watch play. He had that dog in him. He was absolutely the guy you wanted to play with. The beginning was dead on.
Thank you Matisse and Matthew for this!
One of my favorite dudes. After watching him play for all of those years, he speaks exactly how I imagined he would. This guy doesn't get rattled often and when he does, he's going to settle it back down and go back to work.
We want more! Well made vids, keep it up bro.
Man this was so dope. Good stuff Tisse
Elite content, genuine man. Fascinating story
This was so sick, really great stuff
I love the fact that Chauncey talk so much more about his family than his great achievements like Finals MVP, NBA Champion … His family was a pivotal factor in his career path. Pre, During and post playing and during coaching career. His family grounding keeps him guided. Wow would have been a great piece in any of my NY Knicks teams over the years but he did it and is doing it right. Always appreciate his game from afar but know have a greater respect 🫡 for CB.
Damn, wish he wouldve talked more about his Pistons team.
They were stacked!
Impressive story with coach! Anticipating your interactions with the next staff or teammate... Personally, I believe covering the entire roster would be amazing!
Very impressive.
I've been following the Blazers since I was a child and I am turning 60. I needed this encouragement. It reminds me of my sixth grade teacher that got a bunch of us under achievers together to go to our first game. I left Portland at 18 and entered the Air Force. I have traveled the world but always brought the team with me. Always looking at the stats.
At the same time
My real father who I had not seen since I was very young slept outside the coliseum homeless. He has now passed.
Smooth! Legend in Denver
Thank you for this, a really good listen. Mr Big Shot is my favorite player of all time.
Beautiful video, keep em going ✨
Thank you broooooooo. I’ve been waiting for a upload
😮
Good comeback upload! Take your time and keep ‘em coming!
Love hearing this story ❤
What a wonderful refreshing experience.
Give thanks
I enioyed this interview very much. I learned alot. Im 41 and remeber Tb had game and didnt realize how much of an impact he had on another players game. Up and coming players take notes. These interviews and players telling their story is a cheat code for yall
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great interview. Learned a lot about B-B-B Billups that I never knew. Such a cool guy man 🙌🏾
Tell chauncey thx for sitting down and sharing. We need more of that in the blazer org.
I started watching basketball around the time Chauncey got to Detroit. Never knew or would've imagined he got traded that many times before he got to Detroit. Damn. He dealt with it all so well it seems and finally got to his "happy place". This interview was a really great watch. I love listening to "behind the curtains" stuff by NBA players.
Great interview. Chauncey FINALLY cleared up something I always questioned. I always thought the Celtics had given up on him too fast and I had a secret disdain for Rick Pitino because of this. But now all is forgiven. I thank Rick and Kevin McHale ( at Minnesota) for being stand up guys and being truthful to Chauncey. I always feel if you're a good person, good things and good ppl will be in your life to guide you. I also totally agree with Chauncey when he said he played to win. Not caring about the stats. If it happens that I scored 30 or scored 6 and we win......you got the end result.....the win and your contributions to that win.
Mr. Billups' humbly pragmatic, reflectively compassionate, down to earth demeanor and insightfulness is REFRESHINGLY MOVING, has me in TEARS!
What a Beautiful Soul!
Young people/"WE ALL" could benefit from more mentors/"LEADERS" like "Mr. Chauncey Billups!!!"
Thank you for your service sir.
As lifetime blazers fan this interview is so awesome and in depth! I have so much respect for Coach Billups. I loved his game as a player! I still believe in this process with the blazers! Rip city!!!
its awesome you passion for these videos and deep dives
Thank you for all of the amazing childhood memories you and the Pistons gave me. Memories that will last a lifetime. We need that brand of basketball back in Detroit. Truly was incredible. Should have went back to back though!
Great interview, I’ve always loved Chauncey
Damn great interview. Thanks for letting him talk without interrupting 💯
Great!!!! Keep up the Great work and Continued Blessings
Loved his game dope interview
This was great. I always underestimated CB even during Detroit's heyday, but this gave me a huge amount of respect for him. We need a hundred more men like him in the association today. Great vid!
Thanks for the memories, Chauncey! Detroit had so much pride in that team!
Legendary!
I could listen to Chauncey talk for hours.
Love this interview. I think all young guys in the NBA should watch this interview. The NBA is a business. You don't know where you will end up playing from year to year. Mr Big Shot was smart enough to listen to veterans and coaches to help him understand his path to success. Great job brother.
Love Chauncey. He was such a great point guard
Incredible interview. Chauncey was definitely one of my favorite players growing up.
TISSE BACK WITH THE CONTENT
GW legend! Thanks for the memories CB!
Excellent, very good work..... no crazy questions or tryin to narrate, let Mr. Billups give us that work like he did the NBA at his pace. Classic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Definitely one of the best Floor Generals that ever played with the Detroit Pistons 💪🏾🖤💯
This man deserves more credit for being a human. Always a class act and a gent!
Life-long Pistons fan… if Ben Wallace was the heart of that team, Chauncey was the engine. Nothing made me happier than watching him save his dunks for the teams that traded him, and watching him sink big shot after big shot.
🫡 Mr. Big Shot, HOF Legend
Congratulations again 2024 Basketball Hall of Famer 👏
This is 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve had the pleasure to know Chauncey for a long time and he’s such a good guy. He’s one of the people I’ve learned the most from
That's a masterpiece. Being able to go through his entire basketball career and life, while understanding what he learned and went through as a person makes this video special to me.
Great in-depth interview CB
Thanks men, from GW, to packed Metro State gyms, to CU and to the NBA always enjoyed your game and the man you are. Keep doing!
yo matisse! you are good at documentaries and interviews. keep up the good work
Great job on this
This is amazing!!
Holy fuck this is aestethic as it gets. The light, the gentle sound, the frame, the lightning: everything on point.
More Chauncey content 💪🏾
Yes Sir!! Pure grit with this guy. Represented Detroit with the best of them. Thank you Mr. Big Shot!
