Chauncey Billups named Sportsmanship Award winner

Chauncey got the Joe Dumars trophy – which reflects fair play, integrity and behavior on and off the court. (Is it just me or is it ironic that Chauncey got a trophy named after the guy who traded him?)

Anyway, this award is special, because each team nominates one of it’s players for this award and NBA players vote who gets it. This tells us two things:

1. NBA players know that Chauncey Billups is a class act.
2. The Denver Nuggets know that Melo isn’t. Just kidding, Melo is running wild on the Hornets right now. He will have to step it up in the next series, tho.

Congrats on winning the award, Chauncey! This playoffs are special and I hope that the Nuggets will make the Western Conference Finals and give the Lakers a run for their money.
