John Salley Adamant Chauncey Billups Is Innocent, ‘100 Percent’ Framed

John Salley is for certain Chauncey Billups did not assist rig card video games to make the mob cash … saying this week he is “100 percent” positive his good pal was framed.

The NBA legend did not make many bones about it throughout an airport chat on Thursday … insisting there’s simply no means the suspended Portland Trail Blazers head coach knew of any form of criminal activity at poker video games he attended.

“You think Chauncey’s got time to make [an X-ray] table?” Salley stated. “Like, ‘Hmm, we’re going to make this table and we’re going to go –?’ No.”

“He flies into Vegas,” Salley continued, “they pay him to use his name, he’s playing poker. He gets paid to play poker.”

“You’ll see.”

Billups was arrested final week after federal prosecutors claimed he was in cahoots with mafia households who swindled folks out of thousands and thousands of {dollars} by luring them to play in rigged poker video games.

The feds alleged Billups was used as a “Face Card” who would draw “fish” to the desk … earlier than his co-conspirators would deploy high-tech gear to make sure the victims would lose.

Billups’ legal professional has refuted the allegations — and Salley made it clear he believes the Hall of Famer’s denial.
