Billups, who works for ESPN as a basketball analyst, recently said that he aspires to one day run an NBA franchise. The former All-Star point guard spent six years with the Pistons (2002-08), leading them to a title in 2004.
He responded to rumors about re-joining the organization, per The Undefeated‘s Marc Spears:
“I’m very happy with the on-air opportunities ESPN has given me to talk about the NBA in the studio & at games. Of course, I love my Pistons & Detroit. But I would never push for a job with any NBA franchise that is not open. That’s not part of my character,” – Chauncey Billups.
