Live Bar, September 22 News recently, former NBA player and current pioneer coach Billups talked about Anthony in a program.
Billups said: “At that time, I was about 32 years old. I still played well, but I couldn’t carry the team on my shoulders. He can carry the team on his shoulder every night. I really need him. He is unstoppable. This guy is the most talented player I have ever worked with. I needed him and he also needed me at that time, so it was perfect.
“He never absent from training, he trains very hard…… Our team is very strong. That season (2008-09) was the most interesting season for me. I changed that team.”
In 2008, the Nuggets exchanged with all-star defender Allen Iverson for the piston’s control guard Chang Xi Billups, power forward Antonio mcdeiss and center Chuck Sambu, after that, Billups helped Nuggets to the West End after many years (eventually 2-4 lost to the Lakers). It is worth mentioning that winning the Western finals was Anthony’s (so far) best result in the playoffs.
