One more post before we hit the couch? Sure. Sulaiman Folarin is the editor of JOCKlife.com. Today, Sly drops by BDL with some T'giving Day kicks from Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups ...
Thursday night, Denver Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups will be rocking some gold and black shoes for their home game on Thanksgiving Day in a match-up against the Hornets.
The shoes are not Nuggets colors, but rather University of Colorado inspired with "Go Buffs" emblazoned on the side. Remember Billups did play there while in college.
"Colorado has been, and always will course through my veins," Billups said. "On Thanksgiving, I give thanks to the town that instilled in me what it means to be a champion."
Billups is a champion all right. The Nuggets are 5-0 at the Pepsi Center since he returned home in the trade that sent Allen Iverson to Detroit.

The limited edition shoes — all 11 exact replicas — will be auctioned off on Friday, the next day after the game. They will be numbered and autographed by the former NBA Finals MVP himself.
If you have deeper pockets than the average fan, you might want to consider dropping the cash for these kicks. All of the proceeds will go to the Porter-Billups Leadership Academy, a local Denver non-sports institute providing disadvantaged youth opportunities to succeed.
You can be a part of the auction hosted by the NBA's official website, right here.
Bravo, "Mr. Big Shot".
Update: After all the hype and talk about the gold and blacks, Billups is not wearing the shoes anymore for the Thanksgiving Day game. Instead, he wants the focus on the auction. Yup. Chauncey just stole a line from hip-hop artist Trick Daddy's track "In Da Wind." Chauncey luhh the kids.
