February 25th News: Recently, Chauncey Billups gave an interview to reporters.

Billups expressed that if the Pistons had selected Carmelo Anthony in the draft that year, perhaps LeBron James' historical status would have been affected.

"If we had chosen 'Melo' (Carmelo Anthony's nickname) back then, when would LeBron have emerged? It was a season where the rookies played exceptionally well. In that case, we would have been in the same division, and Anthony would have received the right development. LeBron is LeBron, we all know he's outstanding, but when would he have risen to surpass us? We all thought we were going to pick Anthony at that time."

This lineup is indeed strong.

If I were to go one-on-one with LeBron, but the condition is that he can't step inside the three-point line during offense, I have an 80% chance of winning!

The Pistons picked Anthony and then kept him on the bench for two years.

I remember Brown didn't like to use rookies, right?

Luck is also a part of strength.
