old heads... what was so special about Chris Webber?

[Knights89]

C Webb was born to play basketball. He could do everything on the court well

He averaged a double double for his career breh, 20 and 10. Great hands (no homo) great passer that would start the break for Jason Williams, willing to get out on the break and run. Could play with his back to the rim, pick and roll and pick and fade. Could run a high-low offense with him and another big man.

I honestly think he and Shaq would have worked on the Magic. That's me though.

I think so too actually

Along with a passive attitude some of the time before the injuries. He too often was content with sharing the ball rather than being the man. I call it the Method Man syndrome

This is really the same problem - in different volume and with different results - that Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace had as well.

IMO, a healthy Chris Webber is right there with Duncan. CWebb is the only other star player besides Melo to still average 20 playing with AI. And he was a shell of himself by then.

Right on...

Good point...

I was at the Orlando Arena for a draft day party, because I just KNEW .. that MY Magic would draft MY favorite player, from MY favorite college .. to make damn near one of the most dominating front courts in the history of the game...

And then when we did .. I was in ecstasy .. for about 4 minutes.

When they traded Webber for Penny .. all I could remember was (i was a young jit.. so cut me some slack) .. me yelling out NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell ?!?!?!!?!?!?! This guy cant even spell his name right ?!?!!?!? What the hell is an AnFERnee??? Its Anthony you fool !!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Straight went from , and ... to when I heard 'we have a trade to announce' ...

After hearing the trade it was all just




And finally ...





I got so mad .. I remember jumping out of my seat .. (the party was held IN the arena) .. and when i jumped out.. that arena was so shytty .. that the armrests came off .. and I threw them onto the court. Yelling n shyt.

2 mintes later .. I had security look at me like and ask me .. wtf is wrong with you kid .. I told him it was a shytty pick .. and dude said 'why you breaking and throwing shyt?' .. i told him it was an accident.. but I hope the armrests found a way to hit Pat Williams in the head .. and thats where dude just gave me the .



I was escorted out.



At the end of the day .. Penny became my all time favorite player.

Webb and Shaq coulda been ill. I was like damn, how we gonna rebound against them nikkas?? Shaq woulda fukked up the relationship tho.

 

[the cool]

I feel sorry for op

Chris webber was so fukking good


His jumper had no arc but would always go in

Passing was great. He used to torch my Mavs in the early 2000s playoffs

His best years were in a city no one really paid any attention to.

Two very overlooked qualities of GOAT tier players is mentality and health. Webber didn't have that "I want to be the best of all time" type mentality and injuries fukked him as well. There is no doubt he was a special talent.

Once Webb got that first knee injury, it was over for him. Before the injuries his game was

I think the game came to him too easily. He never really abused his gifts but he never tried to enhance them either. Like I said, he averaged 20 and 10 for his career simply on talent. That's Derrick Coleman like.

You gotta put some work in to last as long as he did and do what he did in his time. I just don't think he had that borderline maniacal devotion that most of the GOATS had.

He was outstanding at everything but the 3
