The King of Park Hill will be celebrated in Five Points this weekend.

Denver native Chauncey Billups is set to receive a lifetime achievement award on the main stage of Sunday’s Juneteenth festival (2701 Welton St.) at 6 p.m. Juneteenth commemorates the day slavery ended following the Civil War.

After All-American careers at George Washington High School and the University of Colorado, Billups was selected third overall in the 1997 NBA Draft and went on to have a Hall of Fame career. He earned five All-Star Game appearances, three All-NBA selections and two All-Defensive honors. He was the the 2004 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player after helping the Pistons beat the Lakers.

Billups represented the Denver Nuggets in his fifth All-Star Game in 2010. After his playing career ended in 2014, Billups got into coaching. He just concluded his third year coaching the rebuilding the Portland Trail Blazers.

Billups and the rest of the 2024 Naismith Hall of Fame class will be enshrined on Aug. 16-17 in Springfield, Mass.
