Chris Webber was one of the greatest, yet most overlooked power forwards of all time. In his prime, he was just as good as any superstar in the NBA. Unfortunately, his NBA career did not end as well as he hoped. In 2002 the Sacramento Kings had one of the most well balanced teams of all time. Led by Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac and Doug Christie the Kings had the best record in the entire league. If not for some questionable officiating in the 2002 Western Conference Finals against the Lakers the Kings may have won their first NBA championship.
That’s an interesting conclusion to draw for a guy that choked in crunch time and called a timeout when the team had zero and cost his team a NCAA championship
@@jontee194that’s an interesting conclusion to dismiss a man’s entire professional career and the point being made because of a mistake he made in college.
Chris Webber nowadays in this Adam Silver basketball would average 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists. He was a player with a lot of class and passing ability. He deserves to be remembered as one of the greats in his position.
@@lastman4853 According to Basketball Reference, he played 100% of the time as a center for 2 years, scoring over 20 points, grabbing more than 10 rebounds, making 2 blocks, and dishing out 4 assists... One of those years was his rookie year. Throughout his entire career, he played 30% of the time as a center and 70% as a power forward. Of course, he was capable of playing as a center... one must know what they're talking about before writing nonsense on the internet.
@@JohnDoeTroll Why don't you learn to comprehend english? I never said he wasn't capable of playing center. He didn't LIKE playing center which is why he demanded to be traded from the warriors.
@@lastman4853what if he played with a true big tho? CW playing with Joker would be comical. Both can pick to apart from the high post, and stretch the floor while also killing you in the paint.
so true, showcases some of the underrated players who were on the cusp of being legendary but because of their teams or injuries, they were top dogs for only a few years
Man, Webb was a beast. When he played for Sactown, that was our best squad to date! He was versatile as fuck and his passing was on Majic level, EASY! That man had a high basketball-IQ, no question!
I was such a fan of Webb that I would study him and began mimicking his playing style in my early teens... he literally taught me the game of basketball
I was a junior in high school in northern Michigan when Webber was a senior at Detroit Country Day. I kept hearing news about this kid in Detroit, minus social media. I turned on the TV one spring Saturday morning (3 channels with outdoor antenna) There it was Chris Webber playing in the Palace for MHSAA Basketball Finals. I had never heard of these guys because we didn’t have media outlets like we do today. And during that game he made his announcement to attend UofM.
He was the best passing PF in his generation. The Sacramento Kings when he was there was one of the most entertaining teams to watch. High octane basketball
I would like to salute Chris Webber for putting his pride/ego to the side and coming to play for the Sacramento Kings. Those was good years in my 20s living here in Sacramento when Chris Webber, Jason Williams, Mike Bibby, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie and I can keep going on with the list of outstanding players on that roster at the time, we should have been able to have the privilege to play for the championship ring , but because of big city little city they didn’t want to see my Sacramento Kings win the championship ring that year because we would have whooped the nets easily, but I guess the power at B wanted the bigger city of California to have the spotlight.
C Web had best hands of any big man EVER! His "paws" had like fly paper on them! You throw the heater at him, he caught it in stride and flew over you fr a slam!!!
C Webb does not get the respect he deserves. He is an ALL Time Great. Should be talked about as a top 75 all time player. He had that knee injury and it cut his career a little short, but man was he a beast. One of his favorite players was Magic and you can see it in his game. He has a lot of Magic in his style and ability to pass and lead a break. If Cwebb played today he would be a center and I'm sure worked on the outside game a little more, but either way he would be DOMINANT as a center today. MVP caliber and up there with Joker and Embid easily.
My favorite player as a teenager. The shoulder injury he suffered with the bullets/wizards and then the micro fracture knee injury with the Kings is the only reason he isn't talked about with KG, Duncan, and Dirk. If sheed didn't get the ring with the pistons then he would be forgotten on those lists like C Webb
no indication he'd be efficient vs Jokic. He wasn't the best defender despite a few blocks and was an adrenaline/athletic player whereas Jokic is all brain. Not a good match for Web.
With the exception of Duncan, I can’t definitively say any of the power forwards of that era were better than CWebb. He got robbed of some of his prime years, but he was a top 5 player in the league for a bit and had the Kings in title contention. A couple bounces go their way, and they would’ve kept the Lakers from being a dynasty. Undeniable talent and one of the best passing bigs ever
Always feel like so many people forget about how great of a passer that Webber was. He was one of the best passing power forwards ever. Really good out of the post too.
Mr Webber was such a nice young man when he came to Sacramento, sort of a shocker when he did. Parents had season tickets for the greatest show on court, it was just fantastic. All those guys were great, they deserved to go to the finals that year. C Webb was a beast, so quick, still put the power in power forward Saw some crazy stuff at Arco Arena. Isaiah JR Rider made a shot from half court, going out of bounds, back to the basket
Stellar video as usual! I remember C Webb saying he wanted to grab the board and run the break like PFs like Barkley and others. He had superior passing ability as a big and had one of the most terrifying dunk mean mugs. Legend.
Yeah so decent he took $ at M and tarnished a grt Us rep! I'm a 2nd gen M grad snd loved his game but-- He had a chip on his shlder in H.Schl regarding getting paid but unlike Juwan, took $ he felt he was due - screw who he hurt!!
kG’s favorite player. Enough said. Shoutout to Sam Mitch for being a mentor and understanding the importance of compartmentalizing. KG getting that lesson, being able to talk about it and his ability to tell it the way that he does is a huge reason why he’s great too.
Met Chris, and Antoine Carr one night at a restaurant in Old Sacramento......turns out Chris owned the place......both were really nice, funny dudes....
I really enjoyed this Sean. I'm really feeling this content. Especially since I have so many memories watching the basketball from the time you feature on your channel.
C Webb was my favorite PF of all time. Loved his style. He was definitely ahead of his time. I think because he didn't win a ring, he's over looked when people talk about the greatest PFs .
He was in the era of AMAZING PFs that's why he's overlooked. At the same time he was in the era of AMAZING PFs and still whooped everybody's ass. One of my favorite players of all time.
Hey Sean, thanks for this video, CWebb was so creative and fun to watch specially with those memorable Kings. How about a video of Pau Gasol? He was the first spanish AllStar and NBA winner, he changed the notion of spanish basketball all by himself. The course of his career (from being called "gasoft" to defend Dwight 1v1 in the Finals) and his relationship with Kobe are very interesting. And he speaks on your intro 😊 cheers from Spain, man!
Sheed must be talking about his 1st year or 2 not having a jump shot bc he DEFINITELY had a jumper. Mid range was Hella consistent. That's 1 of the many things I remember bout his game.
Yeah it's true, each decade had a massive dominance for a specific position. The 80's was high scoring SF's (tons of them), the 90's was the Age of the Center, and the 2000's was the golden age of PFs, even Karl Malone was still there 2000-2004 and scoring 20+. The 2010s: age of the PG.
One of my all time favorite players. Chris was one of the most talented 4’s to ever play the game. Could do it all. Score, board and pass. I would take him and Derrick Coleman over most PF’s as far as overall talent.
As a T-wolves fan, seeing Webber and the Kings vs my Wolves in Garnett's MVP year was fabulous, think 2 or 3 games in a row went to overtime they were tense! That Kings team is so criminally underrated, which is one of the reasons it was so much fun to get Adelman as a coach in Minnesota - seeing those same patterns on the other side of the ball - odd but very nice.
The power forward position is hard to rank. How much do you put in championships, overall impact on both ends. Points, rebounds, blocks. Duncan, Malone, Barkley, Green, Kg, Dirk, Webb, Worthy, McKale, Pettit, Hayes, Wallace.
I'm a Buckeye fan living in Columbia Ohio. Let me tell y'all, C-Webb and Jalen Rose had is all secretly wanting to be like them. They were so cool that the enemy even rooted for them
Injuries/surgeries really derail a lot of good and potentially great players in the 90s.. especially Chris Webber we would’ve been up higher on everyone list as one ring atleast
My favorite jersey I have is a Washington Bullets Webber throwback I got from my partner for my birthday. It's embarrassing how many people ask who he was that are old enough to know better 🤦🏽♂️
A bad maan. Powerful , maybe the best hands in history . You couldn’t throw it near him and he not get it. He had clamps for hands and they were huge. Great wing span and he could get off the ground before he hurt his knee.

I loved Chris Webber. When he dunk he wanted to kill the rim. He was robbed of the MVP.
and the Kings were robbed the finals entry, also
MVP which year and against who ? Not better than Shaq or Duncan those early 2000's.
@@yoe91he should've won one just for turning Sacramento around. The Kings had their greatest success with Webb.
@@yoe91The yr Iverson won
C-Webb! One of my favorite players of the '90s when I was growing up! And the 2002 semis against the Lakers? Epic!
He was the best passing PF in his generation. The Sacramento Kings when he was there was one of the most entertaining teams to watch. High octane basketball
Weber was ahead of his time, if he was in today's NBA he'd be a top 5 player
I thought about this too. And I agree.
He seemed a lil too small to rebound the basketball like his contemporaries.
lol stop dreaming bruh no he wouldn’t
He Def would b top 5 easy.
Tyra Banks messed his career up

Sacramento was good enough to win it all.......unlucky he never got a title with that team....he was good and that team was pretty awesome.
Webber would destroy guys like Sengun and Adebayo today, he could probably make Jokic life very hard too
no indication he'd be efficient vs Jokic. He wasn't the best defender despite a few blocks and was an adrenaline/athletic player whereas Jokic is all brain. Not a good match for Web.
He'd be worse in todays game because he doesn't like playing center. That's why he demanded to be traded from the warriors.
@@yoe91That’s the dumbest opinion I’ve heard in a while. He’d get his and Joker would get his. It’d be a showdown.
Wouldn't be close. Joker would destroy cwebb
Yea he couldn’t guard Webber but joker can’t guard really any one
He is one of my FAVORITE power forwards of all time… Just for the record, The Fab 5 counts too!! Love yah Chris!

Mann that Sac team, gave Me headaches. Web was the Chief baller 💯💙❤️
Always feel like so many people forget about how great of a passer that Webber was. He was one of the best passing power forwards ever. Really good out of the post too.
Playing during the tenure of Timmy, Dirk and KG still a legend in his own right

Detroit still loves you C Webb. Those summer league games with Rose and the public school ballers are my favorites.
One of my faves coming up in the 90s. Salute to CWebb. Definitely had that dog in him.
Stellar video as usual! I remember C Webb saying he wanted to grab the board and run the break like PFs like Barkley and others. He had superior passing ability as a big and had one of the most terrifying dunk mean mugs. Legend.

Sometimes he was for sure. Especially early C.Webb
yes, except not nearly as good.

He was one inch taller.
@@yoe91 I think skill wise, he wasn't far off. Magic could impact the game more because he was a PG

Bibby & Jackson used to go at Shaq...
