Chauncey Billups was one of the most clutch performers in NBA history, earning the nickname "Mr. Big Shot" for his ability to deliver in pressure moments. After being drafted third overall in 1997 by the Boston Celtics, Billups took time to find his footing in the league before becoming the heart and soul of the Detroit Pistons. He led the Pistons to the 2004 NBA Championship, earning Finals MVP honors for his leadership and clutch shooting.
A five-time NBA All-Star, Billups was known for his high basketball IQ, tenacious defense, and ability to control the pace of the game. He was a key figure in Detroit’s dominance during the mid-2000s, helping them reach six straight Eastern Conference Finals.
After retiring, Billups transitioned into coaching and currently serves as the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.
