Mr. ‘Big Shot’ Strikes Again!

Mr.Bigstuff, who do u think u are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love

Not because you wear
All those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car
Oh yes you do now
Do you think I can't afford
To give you my love (oh yeah)
You think you're higher,
Than every star above

Mr.Bigstuff, who do u think u are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love

One man’s trash is apparently another man’s treasure – right New York Knicks?

After foolishly trading away one of my favorite players in the game today – and one of the most savvy floor leaders in league history – the Knicks have suffered in trying to initiate their offense and get competent play from the point guard position in a big way this season.

No matter Knicks fans … Eye On Sports says Billups is making out just fine with the resurgent Los Angeles Clippers who were as happy as a lark to add the veteran and his multi-faceted game despite getting point guard Chris Paul to become the new face of the franchise (okay, along with Blake Griffin).

Now, Billups is making opponents pay with his decision-making – and nearly unmatched late-game shot-making while averaging a very nice 16.5 points per game and shooting a blistering 38.7 percent from long distance.

Billups drained a game-winning three-pointer against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night that further cemented his aptly-selected nickname ‘Mr. Big Shot’.

“At all times you can look to him and he knows exactly what he wants to do and what we should do. So for us the younger guys, we're trying to learn from him. He is that calming influence that you know the game is never out of reach when he is on the court."

‘Zeke Speak’ – Isaiah Thomas Right About Billups!

Hall of Fame NBA point guard Isaiah Thomas recently came out and said what I’ve been saying all along – that the New York Knicks were damn fools for parting ways with veteran point guard Chauncey Billups, even though the team’s addition of veteran center Tyson Chandler was a solid acquisition.

"The guard play right now in the NBA is off the charts,'' Thomas said. "Losing Chauncey, I thought he brought a veteran leadership to the team. His savviness and guard play has always been severely undervalued. Detroit found that out when they let Chauncey go. I think there was a certain amount of leadership to what he brought to [the Knicks] last year.''

"If you don't have great guards, it's hard to put together a game plan,'' Thomas said. "You're only as good a coach as your guards."

The Knicks waived Billups with the league’s new amnesty clause in order to clear up cap space to sign Chandler. Unfortunately, as I've already pointed out Eye on Sports readers, the Knicks don’t have anyone to bring the ball up court or initiate the team’s offense and that’s just dumb!
