Saving Chauncey

The SG went on assingment to the Valley of the Sun this weekend (yes, we witnessed the Rox and D-Backs stellar 1-1 tie; how very soccer-esque of them.)

While perusing a local sports apparel shop (top team in this Phoenix shop? Suns? The Cardinals? Nope, that would be the LA Lakers, represented all over the place) we came across a familiar face. One Nuggets Chauncey Billups figurine, complete with tats and everything. How Chauncey found his way to the desert is perplexing, probably filled with typos on order forms or misdirected shipments.

The best part? Chauncey was $4. The SG sprung into action and rescued our Colorado hero from the heat and cactus. While the real Chauncey is in a professional spot with a serious injury and increasing age, his plastic doppleganger is safe back in the Centennial State.
