Even an implication of Kobe and you come a-runnin', like Pavlov's dogs at the sound of a bell.
Billups has been taking those types of shots for a long, long time. He did it in Detroit. This is not new. During most of the game, Billups plays smart, but when it's the second half and when it's a close game, it's not uncommon for him to take untimely shots because he's "feeling it" or looking for a momentum swing. There were times where he'd make a good percentage of them so you didn't half mind it. He's still capable of making them, and if he made them last night, he'd be a hero who was willing to take the tough shot to save his team. Having missed them, he just looks stupid and people will claim age has caught up to him. That might be true, but him taking those bad shots isn't evidence of that. Those weren't uncommon shot attempts. That wasn't JR Smith rubbing off on him. It's not really about ego or age, although it probably has something to do with it. He just missed the shots.
