Chauncey Billups Elite Basketball Academy: Sweet 16

To open each of the three :30 TVc’s, The L.A. Clipper’s Chauncey Billups states, “I’m hoping you will support my non-profit organization, Billups Elite, which helps shape young men’s lives by playing competitive basketball.” An unnamed cohort (he is Billups Elite ceo Ronnie DeGray) continues, “If you call right now...,” then spells out each commercial’s can’t-miss offer: for $250,000, Chauncey will DJ your child’s Sweet 16; for $75,000, he will bake you a cake; and for $100,000, Chauncey will play a round of golf with you and two of your friends (“He’s not very good at golf,” DeGray adds). The offers are real. Although a closely watched telephone does not ring. Lesser donations, by phone or online, are also welcome.
