Many in a Denver high school community are appreciating Chauncey Billups's impact on and off the court. It comes after he was arrested by the FBI in connection with two investigations involving a sports betting scheme and an organized crime ring.

Early reports suggested that Billups was accused of participating in illegal poker games, but as the day progressed and the indictment was made public, it was revealed that Chauncey was also charged as part of an unlawful sports betting scheme that included Damon Jones and Terry Rozier.

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was given a travel restriction and a New York court date after his federal court appearance.

The attorney representing Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups released a statement on Thursday night after the NBA Hall of Famer was arrested and accused of rigging poker games for the mafia.

The stunning allegations paint a picture of a sophisticated cheating scheme that featured X-ray-equipped poker tables, rigged card shufflers, marked cards and the use of sensor-equipped contact lenses and glasses by colluding players at the table.
