It's Chauncey's team now
Quote:
When the Pistons met on a sunny Saturday early in October for their annual open practice, point guard Chauncey Billups was able to quantify just how his stature had grown over the summer.
During the pregame introductions at all home games, including that informal scrimmage, the team dances and fist-bumps and hand-slaps its way through a memorized routine. The order of introductions never changed. Billups went first. Ben Wallace, the team's biggest star, was saved for last.
Not anymore.
This particular Saturday, Billups waited for his regular cue from athletic trainer Mike Abdenour, who always pulled him out of his seat. But Abdenour was nowhere to be seen. That's when it dawned on him.
"I'm like, 'Aw, they got me last now,' " Billups said. "Woooow."
