Empty the Bench

There are a lot of concerns within Detroit Pistons Nation about the availability of Chauncey Billups for Game 4 on Saturday. A little under 4 minutes into last night’s Orlando Magic win, the Pistons’ All-Star point guard slipped, did the splits, and left the game for good with a strained hamstring. Early reports on his injury have been sketchy: Billups says it’s still sore and doesn’t know if he’ll play, while Pistons trainer extraordinaire Arnie Kander thinks there’s an excellent chance that Billups will be good to go.

Maybe it’ll help if he gulps down some extra bottles of Tahitian Noni Juice.

This morning one of ETB’s faithful readers accidentally stumbled upon this little promotional nugget and passed it along to us. And now we, in turn, present to you Mr. Chauncey Billups—decked out in a blank jersey and shorts ensemble that strangely resembles a Detroit Pistons uniform—singing the praises of Tahitian Noni Juice.

“I began drinking TAHITIAN NONI Juice and after a few weeks I noticed my endurance levels were higher and my ability to perform late in the fourth quarter had improved. I’m glad I tried it! Now it is a valuable part of my workout regimen.”

Billups is an outstanding free-throw and 3-point shooter, earning himself the nickname “Mr. Big Shot.” His favorite nickname is “Smooth,” which he says “just sounds like Chauncey.” He is a good defender, a solid playmaker, and a feared “clutch player” who often takes and makes the last shot for his team. He is also versatile enough to play shooting guard if the need arises.

**UPDATE** The good folks at Detroit Bad Boys were on Chauncey’s Noni Juice (boy that sounds dirty) last year—we missed it—and were kind enough to throw us a head’s up on a Noni video! Enjoy.
