Mr. Big Shot is headed to Rip City.
Chauncey Billups on Sunday night was announced as the new head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, replacing Terry Stotts, who mutually parted ways with the club on June 4.
“I’m very excited and humbled to be the next coach of the Trail Blazers,” Billups said in a news release. “Portland is a special place and a unique franchise. As a player I always loved playing here because the passion and knowledge of the fans brought out the very best in me as a competitor. Now I’m looking forward to being on the other side of that energy and engaging with the Portland community on a whole other level.
