The New York Knicks just traded for, and got, Carmelo Anthony. This gives them two bona fide all-stars, Amare Stoudemire being the other. But they also got Chauncey Billups. Here’s just a taste of his credentials:

5x All-Star
NBA CHAMPION
NBA Finals MVP
2x All-NBA Defensive 2nd Team

He’s older now yes, but he’s still got plenty of game, plus a ton of experience and know-how. Not to mention he’s averaging close to 17 points and 5 assists a game this season. This gives the Knicks a legit “Big 3” but no one is giving Chauncey that kind of respect. WHY???
