Teammate of the Year Chauncey Billups says teammate Blake Griffin needs more toughness
Fresh off winning an award for being the NBA’s best teammate, Chauncey Billups said publically Blake Griffin needs more toughness.Billups, via ESPN:I don't agree that Blake Griffin is soft. But what I will say about Blake is that he's maybe too nice of a guy, Billups said. Because there's been times in games where people take shots at Blake. And I tell him if that's me, you're going to have to take this two- or three-game suspension, and I'm going to punish somebody.That's just how I'm built. Blake is not really built like that. He's too soft of a guy inside for him to be like, All right, I'm just going to hurt somebody.' He just won't do it. I wish he would, and I think that people would look at him a lot different if he did that. But he's just not that kind of person. I – like everyone else,[url=http://www.michaelkorsoutletstoress.com/Michael-Kors-Totes-32/]Michael Kors Tote Bags[/url], which is why he won the award – love Billups, but I can’t stand most “back in my day” stories. Let’s review Billups’ discipline issues:December 2012: Warned for floppingNovember 2004: Suspended one game for leaving the bench in the Malice at The PalaceNovember 2002: Suspended one game for throwing the ball at a refereeNovember 1996: Suspended three games for making long-distance phone callsI don’t think a player whose longest suspension is for making long-distance phones can credibly tell Griffin, “If that's me,[url=http://www.michaelkorsoutletstoress.com/]Michael Kors Cyber Monday[/url], you're going to have to take this two- or three-game suspension, and I'm going to punish somebody.” Billups has just never been that guy, and he shouldn’t put down Griffin to pretend to be now.And that’s not a knock to Billups, who is very tough. It’s a credit to him for finding ways to prove his toughness without taking dirty shots at opponents. That’s what Griffin should do, as well.
