Where does Paul George's Broncos fandom come from?
Paul George, who played for the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics, said it himself on the Broncos' team site in February 2016. He was born in Palmdale, California, and went to Knight High School there, so the team he describes is not the one nearest his hometown. Super Bowl XXXII came in 1998, the year he turned 8, and Super Bowl XXXIII followed in 1999, the year he turned 9, which falls inside the "about maybe 9, 10 years old" window he gives for when he became a fan.
Is Chauncey Billups a Broncos fan?
Chauncey Billups was born in Denver, Colorado, on September 25, 1976, and attended George Washington High School in the city. His NBA career took him through the Celtics, Raptors, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Pistons, Knicks and Clippers, with two stints each in Denver and Detroit. The Denver Gazette reported his fandom in October 2025, and this is a newspaper's description rather than something Billups is quoted saying himself. That makes the Broncos tie a reported one, though it lines up with the city where he was born and went to school.
