Billups mentor! Sam Mitchell: Will support him. I don’t believe this until the truth is known.

On October 24th, on the SiriusXMNBARadio program, former NBA player and coach Sam Mitchell talked about Billups’ arrest.

He said: "I will support my friend. I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes and figure it out."

Sam Mitchell was one of Billups's earliest mentors when he entered the NBA, and the two worked together in the Celtics and Timberwolves. Billups mentioned many times that Mitchell "taught him how to be a pro" early in his career. Billups called Mitchell "like a second father."
