He is a four-time NBA All-Star, 2004 NBA Champion and the NBA Finals' MVP. He ranks tenth overall in the most three-point shots ever made with an astounding 1,410 three-point shots. People have called him Mr. Big Shot for his clutch game winning shots. Weighing in at 202 pounds and 6 feet 2 inches tall, born and raised in Denver, Colorado, he is the number 7 point guard for your Denver Nuggets. He is Chauncey Billups and here is YOUR chance to learn and play with the best!
Nothing But Net-Elite Basketball Coaching is proud to announce that Chauncey Billups will bring his Basketball Academy to the Parker Fieldhouse on June 29 to July 2, providing a once in a lifetime experience for your son or daughter. This week long camp will focus on Chauncey's philosophy of having fun while learning and competing in the sport of basketball. The coaching staff has developed a mission to teach each camper how to enjoy the game while developing fundamental skills.
Billups is no stranger to the Denver area. He led Denver's George Washington High School to two state titles, attended the University of Colorado in nearby Boulder and is now one of the greatest NBA clutch performers of all-time. Mr. Big Shot has gained a high level of respect from his peers by being one of the hardest working basketball players in the NBA and is known for his ability to be successful regardless of where he plays. Also, Billups was recently awarded the Joe Dumars Trophy for being named the 2008-2009 NBA Sportsmanship Award winner. This honor reflects the values of sportsmanship such as hard work, ethical behavior and integrity.
Luckily for us, Chauncey has returned to Denver, allowing him to invest his time and resources back into the State of Colorado. He is very excited about playing for the Nuggets and becoming more involved in his hometown community. His upcoming Basketball Academy to be held at the Parker Fieldhouse in Parker, CO is the perfect opportunity for local youth to learn from an NBA Great! Chauncey will attend this camp to tell the story of how he became an NBA basketball player, tell his secrets to becoming one of the best players in the world, and share his love for the game with campers.
"We are very excited to offer local kids the opportunity to learn from such a talented and dedicated athlete," stated Andy Fraser, Facility Coordinator at the Parker Fieldhouse. It is great to see a local NBA superstar giving back to the community!"
