After 17 glorious season, Chauncey Billups has decided to retire. A former Finals MVP he was probably one of the most underappreciated PGs of his era. Primarily because he wasn’t blessed with world-class athleticism. Nonetheless, he was as effective and efficient as they come.
His Hall of Fame candidacy will be an interesting topic. Some say yes, some say no and some are undecided. It will be an interesting discussion in about five years.
“It’s just time. I know when it’s time,” Billups told Yahoo Sports. “My mind and my desire is still strong. I just can’t ignore the fact that I haven’t been healthy for three years. I can try again and get to a point where I think I can go, but I just can’t sustain. Me not being able to play the way that I can play, that’s when you kind of know it’s that time.”
