Trae Young is one of the top young players in the NBA. To fans of the Detroit Pistons, Chauncey Billups is an absolute legend.
Naturally, the pair took each other on in a game of HORSE Sunday evening on ESPN.
Watching it was a bit of a struggle due to technical difficulties, but the end result is something Pistons fans can cheer about. Down H-O-R, Mr. Big Shot came back to win.
In the words of Young, "If I'm gonna lose, I'm gonna have to lose to a Legend."
Young also asked for a rematch sometime in the future, which Billups agreed to.
The coverage on ESPN, while shoddy at best, allowed us to see that Billups has an amazing court at his house -- while Young was playing in his driveway on the kind of generic hoop we all grew up shooting on.
With the win, Billups advanced to the semifinals of the contest and will take on Mike Conley Thursday night. WNBA star Allie Quigley will face Zach LaVine in the other matchup.
