Chris was a very good player no doubt about the best game of Sacramento kings was in Los Angeles in the staples centre when kings gave Lakers a big lead and the staples centre in shock to see a small town team to give them that run i remember that game well but Kobe Bryant and his team still winning that game it was a game
Ugh thats such bullshit... There's no such thing as overpriced. If you can't afford it dont fucking buy them.... But wait you will because no one wants to show off cheap shoes. It's all bullshit.
We all know he's a great passing and ball-handling "big man", but one of the most impressive and probably slept-on things about Chris Webber is that he was a great rebounder in his prime (lead the league in '99) despite being utilized in a "stretch 4" role that meant he often didn't spend as much time in the post as a more traditional power forward i.e Malone, Duncan etc.
Nah Kings choked game 7 at home when they went 2/20 from 3 and 16/30 from the free throw line. Say all you want about game 6 but the Kings choked at home.
In his prime? Hakeem with a 3 point shot. Get him to the US in his prime, either with Wilkins or Drexler (the teams that drafted him IRL), and MJ doesn't dominate the 90s like he did.
@@calebc5057 confirmed??? Where? When did that get confirmed? Or by confirmed do you mean you heard a guy say another guy said the ref told him he fixed the game? I bet I know which option is the truth

Considering that what CWeb did in those trials about the scandal that wiped out most of Michigan's college basketball history, Jalen Rose will hold Webber accountable for his sins until he publicaly apologizes. But on the other hand Webber thinks that all this made him the villain (amplified in the ESPN 30:30 documentary) and continues to claim "innocence" on the issue. Since the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame also takes into account college accomplishments (even though it's hard for those who claim that it's only for NBA results) and Webber's college career is de jure nonexistent in the books and the fact he hadn't won anything (not even DPoY, MVP, MIP, SMoY) I don't think he'll be in the HoF anytime soon. Ben Wallace has better chance although he may have a roadblock as well - in his case the Malice at the Palace.
I remember seeing a vid of those players first dunk made and Webber made his first dunk exactly on the day I was born 11/09/93. Webber an underrated Legend
He is my favorite PF of all time. One of the best passing big men in the game during the early 2000's. After his injury, it looks like there's a cannonball attached to one of his legs whenever he runs, sadly. He was able to adjust during the year 2005 before he got traded though.
you know, I never appreciated him as the focal point being an unconventional low post distributor. In SAC, he was more of what I saw of my envisioning his career to be coming out of UM, a steamboat with turn on dime wheels whose game was more Karl Malone than Tim Duncan, is that a good comparison? In SAC, we really saw that power game that was too much to contain for most oppositions while in WAS, he didn't show THAT impact that he could be in GS. One of the biggest what ifs I regretted is fielding a Dubs team of contented players in Spree and Tim Hardaway with a steady Chris Mullin waiting back for the green light to bomb away. I always wondered why they didn't just get Mutumbo instead of Billy Owens. It wasn't like they didn't already know they had a concerning hole at the 5 spot as of 1991. They'd be contenders with that team alone, never mind adding CWebb to that talent.
As a Kings fan, I'm still pissed the Magoofs traded Webb for nobodies. The team still had talent and Gerald Wallace was going to a very good player. So many clueless decisions that was leading to the downfall

He should be in the HOF. Hes one of the most underrated superstars ever. The first decade of his career was insane and even if you disqualify his college run you still have to acknowledge he was the 1st overall pic who made a name for himself 2 years before entering the league. The name chris webber from like 1991 (in michigan) to 2008 was known by all basketball fans, to see him treated as if he was a secondary star by the media today is a shame
Kawaii Unicorn Marcus is a lot more underrated than Chris. Those Kings series vs the lakers basically sum up the kings so fitting Chris would come up short like he always does.
C-Webb is extremely underrated. The 2002 Kings should have made the Finals. They'd have won the Nets so a 1 ring & Finals MVP would have been added to his resume which would strengthen his HOF case. He was a top 10 player from like 1999-2003. He had to face up against all time great PF's in their absolute prime (Duncan, Dirk & KG).
Austen Hernandez Nah I really don’t like Dirk. I’ve been a lamers fan for over 3 decades. I don’t like Dirk but I respect him. I don’t like Webber. I respect him but I Don’t think he was as good as Dirk. He was a good player at one time but struggled with injuries, consistency and unfortunately was never the same after his knee injury with the Kings. I think he was a better Power Foward than Tim Duncan as Dumcan was really a center and was always listed as a center officially by San Antonio, and Pop said he was a center even after the so called “Tim Duncan” Rule was enacted for all star game. HOF is a stretch for Webber though. Basketball hall of fame is for all Basketball International, high school and college. Weber has no college Career because of his own actions. It literally doesn’t exist. It was erased. He was good but not HOF worthy without it. Someone Like Luka will already have a Hall Of fame Career after this year with a huge body of work beyond his Pro NBA career. Pau is a first Ballot Hall of Farmer for sure. Anthony Davis Would already be the best Power Foward ever if he retired today. Webber would be great in this era but we are talking about his career not hypotheticals. He had to face Duncan Dirk and KG and he didn’t do well against them. He wasn’t as good as Shawn Kemp.
Austen Hernandez I didn’t say Dirk was a top 5 of anything all time. I said he had a better and more impactful longer career than Webber. Dirk was Primarily a PF. His first two years if you remember the NBA was quite different and his youth and length and shooting were an asset but he was thin. He slotted in as a sort of combo forward well think Durant but obviously not exactly same skill set but a good perimeter player and scorer for his size he played 5 in that he was immobile, could stretch the floor and the center position was weak for a whole so they did that to hide him on defense so he didn’t get run off the floor. Duncan actually was a center. The spurs frequently started two Centers During Duncans Career. He was a very skilled center who could do a lot but he was always a center. A center in college, Drafted at center, center on depth chart, center according to Pop. He’s a center. Just more skilled than most in the past. 2 centers is not uncommon Like Hakeem playing alongside Center Ralph Samson in Houston... Weber always got Shat on in the Playoffs. Stop man. Obviously a championship is a team achievement not an accomplishment the “best player” or star Carries a team to no matter how good they are so I don’t Hold that against Webber because he could have been on a number of teams and probably won a Championship at various points in his career. He was not but that doesn’t make him less of a player. He was very good. Just a little overhyped recently. Also people never stop with the game rigging thing. I remember watching all their playoff runs with my friends who were older die hard Kings fans. If you want me to he frank, it was painful watching the refs like many games now but there were tons of Horrible calls on both ends going both ways that ruined their several series against the lakers including 2002z. I can see why kings fans would be upset but if the Kings had one it would seem equally rigged and the Lakers got tons of poor calls the other way ad well. The refs were horrible period weather the NBA wanted one or another team to win. Shaq got in foul trouble because of horrible calls against him. Shaq got the kings in foul trouble because of horrible calls. There were tons of missed make up calls going both ways that were painful to see. Webber and Kings Lost in 2002 mainly because there was no answer for Shaq even without shitty reffing, he was shooting well from the line for him and he was always a good passer out of double teams.
Chris Webber should definitely be in the H.O.F., he did a lot in the NBA, a 1# over all draft pick, a 6'11 PF ...who had handle, great footwork, solid jumpshot, and was dominant in the paint, and was a franchise player on two different teams, he made the Kings a contender over night, always got robbed bigtime in the playoffs esp against LA,' ill say this when Tracy McGrady when in the Hall' as a first ballot, I was LMAO!! I couldn't believe it! im like what did he do? he never took or lead any team his whole career past the 1st rd of any playoff series! he just had dunk highlights! and???? nothing!! he went in first ballot, that was disrespectful to so many players before him who well deserve to be in, C-Webb at that time revolutionize the PF position, they way he would post up in the paint, one glance at the PG, then spin off his defender catch the ball with one hand mid air and slam it down, Classic! extremely a high talent in his era, peace to C-Webb and the Fab Five,' Legendary!!
Webber's Skillsets are well rounded he can do it all. Imagine if he's playing in today's Nba he's a perfect fit for a small ball center at 6'10 he can orchestrate the offense and shoot from outside.
Damn I remember how excited I was when the Sixers traded for CWebb.. the kings were my second favorite team but I'm a Sixers fan before all else and I thought with him, iggy, AI a young Korver and a mediocre center (which did look good on paper) would at least contend... but cwebb played like trash. It was clear that knee injury took away all of his speed, power and athleticism. He settled for 20 foot mid range jumpers all day and ended up leaving the team before fan appreciation night at the end of the season. Dude was so good before the injury.
awethenticmade then obviously you didnt see what happened with stackhouse...or larry hughes im a sixers fan as well and pound for pound iverson is one of the best ever but he couldnt play with any other star...he had to have it all and anything else caused bad chemistry..the most important thing to winning chips
@@larryhughes4327 bruh what? 😂 what exactly happened with stackhouse and Hughes thst I didn't see? That stackhouse had one single standout season and it's literally one of the MOST INEFFICIENT seasons in NBA history and he never led a team out of the first round? That Hughes had a single standout season and also lost in the first round? What exactly happened that I'm missing lmao? I never said AI wasn't hard to build around or that his game wasn't exactly the epitome of winning basketball.... but at the same time his second best players were either straight shit... with AI before peaking or with AI after peaking. He didnt have a second all star level player until he already left the Sixers. His game being tough to build around doesn't change the fact that the front office still never really put together a team that had enough talent to see if they coukd build around him in different ways. Seriously lol what exactly happened that I didn't see again?
Yeah yr right they would of been contenders...like yrself..bruh!..stars like Iverson usually dont win championships cleans up on individual awards and gets blackballed away from more than a few bc of his persona and makes sure he always gets his.and the year they lost in the finals was a shock to everybody that they were even there ..and I credit the coaching staff for catching lightning in a bottle to somewhat tame ai get him to buy in for a whole year and thinking they got away with covering for him and stuff like that without the other players not knowing so theres the respect factor leaders need..especially with yr teammates..but after that the Sixers could of gotten anybody and they were never going back to the finals with ai..and yes front office does suck but did they know nobody could play with ai and benefit the team a little better for the future financially...im asking idk ...you seem to know more than them and in all honesty in my opinion the Sixers picking up some of the big name guys in the AI era was their biggest mistakes..and if I'm not mistaken more than a few established themselves somewhere else and just robbed the sixers..ski mask and all ..especially after getting banged up a little on the court and a true taste of AI they were like fuck it..I'm getting my guaranteed...and the year they went to the finals is probably one of the only times I actually have to credit the coaching staff and front office as much if not more than the players...but I love yr enthusiasm and ambition but bottomline they were never gonna be contenders with probably my all time favorite philly..I saw schmitty and dr j as a youngen but dont really remember barkley.moses...steve carlton...and favorite eagle I ever saw is tough...I'll tell you what young buck if u never seen randall Cunningham play live ...dude was sick!...and was fresh to the new style a pioneer which related to my generation better..are u even a true philly fan?...where do the kings come in as yr second..yr bf live out there?...btw they're never doing dick with Embiid and Simmons either..and I said Embiid was done over 2 years ago and hiding injuries and needs more time bc of his frame to recover but never did or does....so dont get all crazy about them either
If Don Nelson understood player rotation and load management, the Warriors would have more playoff success. The Warriors were never on the same page due to the injuries caused by over playing key players.
Thank you for this article andy. Remembering the good ol days of kings and wolverines. Pi give you an A+ to this. Keep doing this kind of article. Godbless you man!
It is pretty much confirmed that game 6 of the 2002 wcf was rigged and because of that the kings not winning the championship is one of the greatest tragedies in sports. But even with Webber getting screwed by the nba I believe in his prime he was one of the best pf in nba history.
Always been a big fan of C-Webb. I'm glad he got paid in college, the NCAA is absurd making so much off of young athletes, so many who have never had much growing up.
Love this!! However correction... Ed Martin didn’t give money to kids to attend Michigan he gave money to financially strapped kids going to college. Which included kids that played all over . Michigan just happen to be the school Christ Webber went to. And got in trouble because he lied not because he took money
I will never say a bad word about Chris. Even in his Michigan days. He made that school a ton of money and played his ass off. Great player and one of the reasons #4 is my favorite number. Go Blue.
I always loved Chris Webber's game he played like those guys I grew up with in the "hood" back in the day. I'm a few years ahead of him but that's how we played flashy and efficient. The school yard game with discipline. He's a bad dude but politics the scourge of all the poor young men that ever played that game. Is willing to forgo all his great college achievements and hamper somewhat his Hall of Fame entrance. Instead of restructuring the system and putting a little money in these young people's pockets that are making them so much money. Then they wouldn't have to go to any outside sources to help sustain themselves during their college careers.
For me is a shame on the HoF that a guy like TMac make it on the first try and CWebb is not even in discussion for it. While TMac put up some high empty numbers in worthless situations, Webber actually helped his team to be one of the best in the league. Also KG without his ring in 2008 wouldn't be the same.
Total badass. Webber’s hands were of the best to play. Obviously and still of the highest IQ in that world. He’ll be in the hall sooner or later. Lost love for the nba when Sac got robbed in ‘02.
When I was growing up in Sac he had that city on the map! That Kings team was so fun to watch, Still Sacramento proud today! Even though we been very bad for year's lol. I'm just glad we have a nice talented young core that could make noise in the next few years which that city needs!!
Benn255 B Chris was a bitch and the kings will always suck. Vlade is a stupid dirty old man who will always be known most for being traded for kobe and trading away Luka now🤣🤣🤣
For a while the only power forward I’d take over Webber was Duncan I think he was better then Garnett and Wallace and Dirk for a few years but all time I would put him easily a top 10 power forward that should have been in the Hall Of Fame years ago
His injuries were devasteting, especially the one from 2003. In Bullets it slowed down his deveplopment and the one from Kings era just killed his career. I love this guy. He made my youth great period of my life. If only they won that 6 game versus Lakers in 2002...
If I was a Kings fan, I wouldn’t even blame game 6 referring. I would blame Divac’s dumbass for slapping the ball to Horry for that game winning 3. If he would’ve man up and grab the rebound, Kings take 3-1 series lead and wouldn’t have to worry about a Game 6.
Imagine if C-Webb and Shaq eouldve played together. That high-low game would've been the nastiest shit for a big man duo. Not sure how any team would've been able to stop that.
C Webb is a great big man with finesse and got robbed a chip against the Hollywood Lakers. Was an even better person gave my mom an autograph while Tyra Banks was hiding her face trying not to mingle with fans. I moved to Sac at the right time to witness C Webb in his glory years. That 01-02 Kings team got obviously robbed and was easily the best team that year.
If it weren't for his injuries slowing him down. In my opinion would've been better than KG, Dirk, & Tim. It wasn't anything that he couldn't do on the court, except been a better free throw shooter. He was by far the most versatile out of them all. The only 1 counting those 3 that could play both inside & outside game as a factor. From shooting the 3 to posting up in the paint.
A bearded guy yeah I think, that’s the only possible reason, but why u gotta be so mad, how did it change our life? For example I don’t give a damn about that accident😁
amazing player. Should be in the HOF because tmac is in but I don't think he should or would be in if it was harder to get in. Injuries ruined his best years.
Great video as always! Could you make a video about nba pensions, how they work and etc? That is little known fact, so would be great if you could cover that theme up!
A big thx from a Kings fan (since 1998)! :-) The NBA always f'd him because of the Michigan-scandal... Rigged the LAL-series and didn't let him in the HoF!

Andy "However" Hoops
Lol yeah he loves that word 😂😂😂
C-Webb is extremely underrated. The 2002 Kings should have made the Finals. They'd have won the Nets so a 1 ring & Finals MVP would have been added to his resume which would strengthen his HOF case. He was a top 10 player from like 1999-2003. He had to face up against all time great PF's in their absolute prime (Duncan, Dirk & KG).
makis papachristou Chris is extremely overhyped. Everyone says he is underrated so he really isn’t.
Austen Hernandez Nah I really don’t like Dirk. I’ve been a lamers fan for over 3 decades. I don’t like Dirk but I respect him. I don’t like Webber. I respect him but I Don’t think he was as good as Dirk. He was a good player at one time but struggled with injuries, consistency and unfortunately was never the same after his knee injury with the Kings. I think he was a better Power Foward than Tim Duncan as Dumcan was really a center and was always listed as a center officially by San Antonio, and Pop said he was a center even after the so called “Tim Duncan” Rule was enacted for all star game. HOF is a stretch for Webber though. Basketball hall of fame is for all Basketball International, high school and college. Weber has no college
Career because of his own actions. It literally doesn’t exist. It was erased. He was good but not HOF worthy without it. Someone Like Luka will already have a Hall
Of fame Career after this year with a huge body of work beyond his Pro NBA career. Pau is a first Ballot Hall of Farmer for sure. Anthony Davis Would already be the best Power Foward ever if he retired today. Webber would be great in this era but we are talking about his career not hypotheticals.
He had to face Duncan Dirk and KG and he didn’t do well against them.
He wasn’t as good as Shawn Kemp.
Austen Hernandez empty numbers
Austen Hernandez Duncan not PF. But I out KG and Malone Ahead of Him All time.
Austen Hernandez I didn’t say Dirk was a top 5 of anything all time. I said he had a better and more impactful longer career than Webber. Dirk was Primarily a PF. His first two years if you remember the NBA was quite different and his youth and length and shooting were an asset but he was thin. He slotted in as a sort of combo forward well think Durant but obviously not exactly same skill set but a good perimeter player and scorer for his size he played 5 in that he was immobile, could stretch the floor and the center position was weak for a whole so they did that to hide him on defense so he didn’t get run off the floor. Duncan actually was a center. The spurs frequently started two Centers During Duncans Career. He was a very skilled center who could do a lot but he was always a center. A center in college, Drafted at center, center on depth chart, center according to Pop. He’s a center. Just more skilled than most in the past. 2 centers is not uncommon Like Hakeem playing alongside Center Ralph Samson in Houston...
Weber always got Shat on in the Playoffs. Stop man. Obviously a championship is a team achievement not an accomplishment the “best player” or star Carries a team to no matter how good they are so I don’t Hold that against Webber because he could have been on a number of teams and probably won a Championship at various points in his career. He was not but that doesn’t make him less of a player. He was very good. Just a little overhyped recently. Also people never stop with the game rigging thing. I remember watching all their playoff runs with my friends who were older die hard Kings fans. If you want me to he frank, it was painful watching the refs like many games now but there were tons of Horrible calls on both ends going both ways that ruined their several series against the lakers including 2002z. I can see why kings fans would be upset but if the Kings had one it would seem equally rigged and the Lakers got tons of poor calls the other way ad well. The refs were horrible period weather the NBA wanted one or another team to win. Shaq got in foul trouble because of horrible calls against him. Shaq got the kings in foul trouble because of horrible calls. There were tons of missed make up calls going both ways that were painful to see. Webber and Kings Lost in 2002 mainly because there was no answer for Shaq even without shitty reffing, he was shooting well from the line for him and he was always a good passer out of double teams.
Those early 2000s Kings teams were so fun to watch!
Complete unselfish ball
Chris Webber should definitely be in the H.O.F., he did a lot in the NBA, a 1# over all draft pick, a 6'11 PF ...who had handle, great footwork, solid jumpshot, and was dominant in the paint, and was a franchise player on two different teams, he made the Kings a contender over night, always got robbed bigtime in the playoffs esp against LA,' ill say this when Tracy McGrady when in the Hall' as a first ballot, I was LMAO!! I couldn't believe it! im like what did he do? he never took or lead any team his whole career past the 1st rd of any playoff series! he just had dunk highlights! and???? nothing!! he went in first ballot, that was disrespectful to so many players before him who well deserve to be in, C-Webb at that time revolutionize the PF position, they way he would post up in the paint, one glance at the PG, then spin off his defender catch the ball with one hand mid air and slam it down, Classic! extremely a high talent in his era, peace to C-Webb and the Fab Five,' Legendary!!
Don Nelson loving the idea of an undersized lineup without knowing and utilizing the advantages it provides will never stop being hilarious
Webber's Skillsets are well rounded he can do it all. Imagine if he's playing in today's Nba he's a perfect fit for a small ball center at 6'10 he can orchestrate the offense and shoot from outside.
C Webb underrated af! Def HOF maybe not Dirk, Duncan KG status but Prime Kings days dude was a beast...coming from a Lakers fan.
NBA robbed the Kings of a championship
The Bucks a year before in 2001. It's all a scam.
The Bucks did not deserve to win. They clearly played below expectations.
True that
Before even starting this video, it’s a shame C-Webb isn’t in the Hall of Fame yet. He absolutely should be by now.
Damn I remember how excited I was when the Sixers traded for CWebb.. the kings were my second favorite team but I'm a Sixers fan before all else and I thought with him, iggy, AI a young Korver and a mediocre center (which did look good on paper) would at least contend... but cwebb played like trash. It was clear that knee injury took away all of his speed, power and athleticism. He settled for 20 foot mid range jumpers all day and ended up leaving the team before fan appreciation night at the end of the season. Dude was so good before the injury.
The guy settled for too many jumpers even before he got to philly. And he never really developed a good back to the basket game.
awethenticmade then obviously you didnt see what happened with stackhouse...or larry hughes im a sixers fan as well and pound for pound iverson is one of the best ever but he couldnt play with any other star...he had to have it all and anything else caused bad chemistry..the most important thing to winning chips
@@larryhughes4327 bruh what? 😂 what exactly happened with stackhouse and Hughes thst I didn't see? That stackhouse had one single standout season and it's literally one of the MOST INEFFICIENT seasons in NBA history and he never led a team out of the first round? That Hughes had a single standout season and also lost in the first round? What exactly happened that I'm missing lmao? I never said AI wasn't hard to build around or that his game wasn't exactly the epitome of winning basketball.... but at the same time his second best players were either straight shit... with AI before peaking or with AI after peaking. He didnt have a second all star level player until he already left the Sixers. His game being tough to build around doesn't change the fact that the front office still never really put together a team that had enough talent to see if they coukd build around him in different ways. Seriously lol what exactly happened that I didn't see again?
Yeah yr right they would of been contenders...like yrself..bruh!..stars like Iverson usually dont win championships cleans up on individual awards and gets blackballed away from more than a few bc of his persona and makes sure he always gets his.and the year they lost in the finals was a shock to everybody that they were even there ..and I credit the coaching staff for catching lightning in a bottle to somewhat tame ai get him to buy in for a whole year and thinking they got away with covering for him and stuff like that without the other players not knowing so theres the respect factor leaders need..especially with yr teammates..but after that the Sixers could of gotten anybody and they were never going back to the finals with ai..and yes front office does suck but did they know nobody could play with ai and benefit the team a little better for the future financially...im asking idk ...you seem to know more than them and in all honesty in my opinion the Sixers picking up some of the big name guys in the AI era was their biggest mistakes..and if I'm not mistaken more than a few established themselves somewhere else and just robbed the sixers..ski mask and all ..especially after getting banged up a little on the court and a true taste of AI they were like fuck it..I'm getting my guaranteed...and the year they went to the finals is probably one of the only times I actually have to credit the coaching staff and front office as much if not more than the players...but I love yr enthusiasm and ambition but bottomline they were never gonna be contenders with probably my all time favorite philly..I saw schmitty and dr j as a youngen but dont really remember barkley.moses...steve carlton...and favorite eagle I ever saw is tough...I'll tell you what young buck if u never seen randall Cunningham play live ...dude was sick!...and was fresh to the new style a pioneer which related to my generation better..are u even a true philly fan?...where do the kings come in as yr second..yr bf live out there?...btw they're never doing dick with Embiid and Simmons either..and I said Embiid was done over 2 years ago and hiding injuries and needs more time bc of his frame to recover but never did or does....so dont get all crazy about them either
Webb was done after 03 when he blew his knee
If Don Nelson understood player rotation and load management, the Warriors would have more playoff success. The Warriors were never on the same page due to the injuries caused by over playing key players.
A prime Chris Webber would dominate in today’s NBA with his scoring and passing…ESPECIALLY his passing
Thank you for this article andy. Remembering the good ol days of kings and wolverines. Pi give you an A+ to this. Keep doing this kind of article. Godbless you man!
It is pretty much confirmed that game 6 of the 2002 wcf was rigged and because of that the kings not winning the championship is one of the greatest tragedies in sports. But even with Webber getting screwed by the nba I believe in his prime he was one of the best pf in nba history.
Webb was nasty from 97-03. That knee injury really killed his career
What did his knee do?
@@ybbetter3071Torn ACL - says in vid
CHRIS WEBBER MY DUDE PURE TALENT
Always been a big fan of C-Webb. I'm glad he got paid in college, the NCAA is absurd making so much off of young athletes, so many who have never had much growing up.
Like always good job. More stories pls from 90's , 2000's. 👍
best passing power forward of all time, he made the kings offense fire on all cylinders
XChronicHash Derrick Coleman was the best passing power forward of all time
Larry Bird
How good is Andy Hoops Actually?
Future HOF RUclipsr
Love this!! However correction... Ed Martin didn’t give money to kids to attend Michigan he gave money to financially strapped kids going to college. Which included kids that played all over . Michigan just happen to be the school Christ Webber went to. And got in trouble because he lied not because he took money
Should definitely be a HOF. Fucked out of rings in 02 and 03
I would assume that he was great and should be a Hall of Famer. If Chris Webber would’ve been in the movie blue chips he would’ve had a ringer 2.
I will never say a bad word about Chris. Even in his Michigan days. He made that school a ton of money and played his ass off. Great player and one of the reasons #4 is my favorite number. Go Blue.
I always loved Chris Webber's game he played like those guys I grew up with in the "hood" back in the day. I'm a few years ahead of him but that's how we played flashy and efficient. The school yard game with discipline. He's a bad dude but politics the scourge of all the poor young men that ever played that game. Is willing to forgo all his great college achievements and hamper somewhat his Hall of Fame entrance. Instead of restructuring the system and putting a little money in these young people's pockets that are making them so much money. Then they wouldn't have to go to any outside sources to help sustain themselves during their college careers.
Hey Andy, can you do a video on Rod Stricklands career, btw he is one of the most underrated point guards in nba history. Thanks!!
Anybody else notice a running theme with golden state b4 they won the championship? The had alot of players that didn't get along with coaching staff.
Chris “Run Through The Tape” Webber iykyk
Always one of my favorite players. I loved the fab 5 when I was just a kid so I always loved C Web and Jalen Rose.
For me is a shame on the HoF that a guy like TMac make it on the first try and CWebb is not even in discussion for it.
While TMac put up some high empty numbers in worthless situations, Webber actually helped his team to be one of the best in the league.
Also KG without his ring in 2008 wouldn't be the same.
C web was a beast in his prime if not for injuries hed definitely be more recognized
Total badass. Webber’s hands were of the best to play. Obviously and still of the highest IQ in that world. He’ll be in the hall sooner or later.
Lost love for the nba when Sac got robbed in ‘02.
No true Basketball Fan can forget Webber's infamous timeout in 1993 (Michigan vs UNC).
He's still insecure about it today.
Any casual fan can't forget the TO...but true basketball fans could care less because it can happen to anybody...
Anthony's NBA Talk no true basketball fan can forget Webber has always been a little bitch.
TheGrindcorps damn did he do something to you bro?
I see u everywhere man Anthony’s nba talk
C Webb and KG were the prototypes of what Giannis is today
🔥 video as always Mr. Hoops 👍
I’m for sure a huge Kings fan. But that aside , Webber is a hall of fame player
When I was growing up in Sac he had that city on the map! That Kings team was so fun to watch, Still Sacramento proud today! Even though we been very bad for year's lol. I'm just glad we have a nice talented young core that could make noise in the next few years which that city needs!!
Benn255 B Chris was a bitch and the kings will always suck. Vlade is a stupid dirty old man who will always be known most for being traded for kobe and trading away Luka now🤣🤣🤣
Talk about a guy that stands up for himself
For a while the only power forward I’d take over Webber was Duncan I think he was better then Garnett and Wallace and Dirk for a few years but all time I would put him easily a top 10 power forward that should have been in the Hall Of Fame years ago
His injuries were devasteting, especially the one from 2003. In Bullets it slowed down his deveplopment and the one from Kings era just killed his career. I love this guy. He made my youth great period of my life. If only they won that 6 game versus Lakers in 2002...
If I was a Kings fan, I wouldn’t even blame game 6 referring. I would blame Divac’s dumbass for slapping the ball to Horry for that game winning 3. If he would’ve man up and grab the rebound, Kings take 3-1 series lead and wouldn’t have to worry about a Game 6.
@@Theterminato2013 true. but the officiating is also the worst in any game in NBA history. you have to acknowledge that.
Webber was awesome 👏 on warriors and Kings!
Chris Webber might be the only player ever that you look back and think ‘if only he was drafted by the kings’
I think it’s the college scandal that’s holding him back :(
Imagine if C-Webb and Shaq eouldve played together. That high-low game would've been the nastiest shit for a big man duo. Not sure how any team would've been able to stop that.
Shaq CWebb Peja Kobe and Jason Williams ouweee good night 💤 squad
They coulda in 93 with the Magic but Shaq wanted Penny on his team instead.
Ronnie McKinney Nah Shaq wanted Webber!
@@brentsmith826 Cap. In the Magic documentary he said he wanted Penny.
My favorite player of all time. Straight beast, but when he hurt his knee his game just wasn't the same.
C Webb is a great big man with finesse and got robbed a chip against the Hollywood Lakers. Was an even better person gave my mom an autograph while Tyra Banks was hiding her face trying not to mingle with fans. I moved to Sac at the right time to witness C Webb in his glory years. That 01-02 Kings team got obviously robbed and was easily the best team that year.
How good was Kevin Johnson actually?
How good was Peja Stojakovic actually?
How good was Toni Kukoc actually?
How good was Carlos Boozer actually?
Eugen Anđelković he did how good was peja
Eugen Anđelković that’s real easy ! The same answer qualifies for all of them. And that is not too good
Update: It was just announced, C-Webb will indeed be in the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame.
My dad hates basketball but everytine the Kings play, he wouldn't let anyone bother him. RIP dad
Pops respected beautiful bball
Chris Webber makes me proud to be a Kings fan
Webber was so underrated
He’s still not in the HOF because of the Fab 5 scandal.
And ringless because of another scandal 😔
Give it time they will give him the typical fairy tale ending to his career
What did he do at Michigan?
@@AJ_savage16him and his fab 5.team mates recieved money from laundering far worse than James Wiseman sitaution
Flying V He’s not in the HOF for continually bringing up tim doneghty on Live TV. He’s a bitch.
If it weren't for his injuries slowing him down. In my opinion would've been better than KG, Dirk, & Tim. It wasn't anything that he couldn't do on the court, except been a better free throw shooter. He was by far the most versatile out of them all. The only 1 counting those 3 that could play both inside & outside game as a factor. From shooting the 3 to posting up in the paint.
i remember the days when Kwame's player comparison was Cwebb and Kg 😂😬
The remarks u made about Mr.Martin is off !!!This was a spot on video besides the comments about Mr.Martin
He needs to be in the Hof.
Rasheed Wallace up next please
What happened to Lamar Odom he was sooo good in lakers
Crack and the Kardashians happened 2 Lamar.
Probably the most underrated power forward of his era
crackblue Probably the most overrated underrated player ever. +He’s a bitch.
TheGrindcorps why u so salty about him?
PowerMixes probably because of the michigan incident or whatever it was
A bearded guy yeah I think, that’s the only possible reason, but why u gotta be so mad, how did it change our life? For example I don’t give a damn about that accident😁
@@TheGrindcorps wow
amazing player. Should be in the HOF because tmac is in but I don't think he should or would be in if it was harder to get in. Injuries ruined his best years.
Just came back here after he was announced to be in the HOF class of 2021...
If Grant Hill is in the Hall of Fame Chris deserves a seat foh
@Mr. Marshall i never said anything about kobe tho? chris webber belongs in the hall of fame
Chris Webber is finally in a hall of fame
Hall of fame talent. Should've won a championship if it weren't for Tim donaghy
Chris Webber was the perfect PF
Great video as always!
Could you make a video about nba pensions, how they work and etc? That is little known fact, so would be great if you could cover that theme up!
A big thx from a Kings fan (since 1998)! :-) The NBA always f'd him because of the Michigan-scandal... Rigged the LAL-series and didn't let him in the HoF!
