He was doing all that at just 25. Too bad injuries ruined his career. He was on his way to the hall of fame.
Talent wise Chris Webber and Rasheed Wallace could have competed for best PF ever!!!

Yeah that was my dude too, shame Artest ruined Indy's last serious run, because as fast as JO started to bubble, he got injured, and was

Chris Webber could of been. Had all the tools.
CWebb had a great career. He played at a high level for about 9 years. I wouldnt say the knee injury cut his career short. Too late in the day here at work for me to get past page 1 but many of you are buggin the fukk out. Webb was never better than Dirk or KG? Ridiculous. KG never had the handles, scorers mentality, or passing ability of CWebb. Dirk wasnt better than Webb until the Piston/Sixer years. Dirk has always been a better 3 point shooter. Thats where it stops. Duncans 1st year or 2 in the league, him and Webb are shoulder to shoulder. Yall overrating Sheed too. You cant compare him to Do it All 4's like Webb, KG, & Dirk. Sheed had no handles and wasnt a good rebounder for his size. Dont recall much shot blocking from him either.

this is the truest, DC shoulda been better than everyone
word? I remember it being an even match up, but Im young so it may not have happened.
Duncan owned 'Sheed in the ACC too.
I was in Carolina for all those games, went in thinking Sheed was going to assert his dominance, left realizing Duncan was too powerful a robot.
Duncan existed, no chance of either dude competing for best PF ever.

I don't think he could have been better than Duncan, but if Sheed was mentally checked in and dedicated himself to the game like others he could have definitely rivaled Duncan along the way.
Tim Duncan comparisons aside, Sheed underachieved like hell in the NBA. Webber had a great career and his career narrative would be significantly altered by that ring he got cheated out of.

Sheed was my favorite player when he was with Portland. Unstoppable when he wanted to be.

something happened to Sheed after 2001. Dude just stopped giving a fukk and it upset me greatly.
then again, we saw it in that game 7 against the Lakers when he dominated for 3 quarters, then decided to be a jump shooter that 4th.
a player like Sheed or Coleman shows you how mentality is as, if not more, important than athleticism and talent.
edit: that something was him deciding to take more 3 pointers. He had a nearly 4 attempt per game jump between 2000 and 2002

Chauncey Billups once told Jim Rome that Wallace "is so good he gets bored playing against some guys who aren't up to his level." He was never going to be satisfied leading the block-to-block life of a big man. Although he hardly shot threes in high school or college, Wallace started to take them in Portland—"an experiment," he called it—and that changed his game. Suddenly, he was a threat from anywhere. But it also made him a potential threat to his own team.
These days, that team is a member of the NBA's elite. But it goes into the playoffs with one serious flaw: post play. Detroit has yet to replace the likes of Ben Wallace and Mehmet Okur, and it will not win another title unless someone clears the glass and lifts an offense that is suddenly close to the bottom of the league in points in the paint. That someone is Wallace.
The Pistons have plenty of shooters. And though Sheed considers himself a "shotter" ("a shooter takes shots, a shotter makes shots"), that isn't about to replace a daily diet of 12 boards. "Late in the game," says former Pistons coach Larry Brown, "I'd like to see him on the block more." Dumars agrees, admitting the sight of Wallace with his back to the basket makes him think, Why can't he do that 82 nights a year? Ellerbee says he once warned him never to leave the post. "If I was his coach, I'd demand more. More rebounds, more blocked shots. We need a center, not the other crap." Sheed himself admits, "I wish I would have listened to him."
The bolded is what happened to Sheed. The 3 point shot was the worst thing that happened to him.
