Chris Webber and Rasheed Wallace scrimmaging in Bullets training camp in 1995

Wes Unseld and Abe Pollin trading Chris Webber is unforgivable

Trading away a 25 year old Chris Webber for a 34 year old Mitch Richmond was when I officially burned my Washington Bullets/Wizards allegiance for good. I'm not even gonna mention the Wizards getting Otis Thorpe too because who gives a shít. I hope the Webber curse continues in Washington forever just because of that trade.

Wes Unseld and Abe Pollin trading Rasheed Wallace AND Chris Webber within three seasons is unforgivable.

Ain’t no curse of Webber. It’s just a pointless organization for over 40 years.

Sheed's skillset was ahead of its time

That man was an elite defender, had a mean post game, could pass, shoot jumpers, switch on guards, QB the def...

Up until the last 5-7 yrs, I've said Sheed had a GOAT skillset for BIGs

Could have been top 50 ever if he put down the smoke and focused on killing.

He had 1 of the amazing skillsets that each dominant PF from.his era had.

He had Dirks feathery midrange touch

CWebbs passing touch

Duncans post game

KG's tensity and defense

I think he never reached his full potential bc he always played w/ other great players...he played with Aaron McKie in HS, played w/ Stackhouse at UNC, played behind Webber in Wash, played w/ Stoudamire, Pippen, Sabonis & Steve Smith in Portland...played with Chauncey, Rip & Big Ben in Det

He never had to be the man for a sustained period of time...and his HS coach made him be unselfish and that went with him everywhere...Sheed only averaged 16 his senior yr in HS in 19 mins a game

Sheed with Kobe's mentality is a top 5 player in NBA history

 

[Damnshow]

Wizards fumbled all of that real fast

Their franchise hasn't made the conference finals since Alien 1 premiere.

He was the best player on that Blazers team for a period. 99-until he got traded. I think it was just his mentality. He was a team guy, wasn’t motivated by numbers.

But he was the best player in a team-centric way in Portland...Sheed had the skillset to be a 25-12-5 player but he was always content fitting in

1979.

Last ECF and Finals appearance

It seems like that team was cooked at the end of the season and used experience—and choke jobs—to make the finals.

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Damn, this brings back memories. I played a few big time games in that gym to packed crowds at Shepherd College in Sheperdstown, WV

 

[frush11]

The last time I was a fan off an NBA team. My 12 year old asss really thought we had next with that squad.

 

[Mandizi]

That 95-96 bullets squad had one of the biggest frontcourts in nba history.

7'7" Muresan
6'11" Wallace
6'10" Webber
6'9" Howard

Too bad Webber missed most of that season due to injury.

 

[Born2BKing]

I think C Webbs skillset is amongst the most underrated in NBA history. Dude was a straight up technician in the paint, with an elite mid range game.

Yeah. They were way better in the regular season than the 1978 title team.
