NBA: Chris Webber close to returning to Warriors

To celebrate his impending return to Oaktown, I pulled out the old Nike commercial where Webber and Sprewell joke about Webber's dunk on Sir Charles. Great stuff and welcome back to Cali, Chris. I hope you and Nellie get along now.

In a move that has been rumored for days, the Golden State Warriors signed former Sixer Chris Webber. Philly fans are still pissed at Webber after the way he dogged it in his last season with the Sixers and some how magically became effective again when he signed on with the Pistons.

In a bizarre week of Seinfeldian symmetry, I ran into Matt Barnes at the Adidas Heritage store in Berkeley yesterday. Not one to shy from an improptu interview opportunity, I went up and introduced myself. I had to try and find out something about the Webber to the Warriors rumor. The conversation went about like this. Make the jump to see what Matt Barnes had to say.

Marcus Camby, Dwight Howard, Chris Kaman and Tyson Chandler all have multiple games this year with 20-plus boards. But none of them (no one in the NBA, actually) can match the 26 rebounds that Golden State's Andris Biedrins pulled down on Sunday during a 106-104 victory over the Knicks. AB's career-high before the Knicks game was 18 rebounds, which he'd accomplished four times previously...

I've heard from a lot of people that Mickael Pietrus might be traded. I really hope that doesnt happen because he's such an amazing player. Pietrus has been with the warriors the longest out of anyone on the team. He is the epitome of "Nellieball". Pietrus completely represents the warriors style of play, which is being very fast and having strong defense. There are rumors that the...

Webber could be a piece to the puzzle that the Warriors were really missing. Because Webber can definitely knock down some shots when the game's pace slows down and the team's 3's aren't rattling in... He can also find some open teammates and get them some good shot oppurtunities... Hopefully he fits in well with his new but sorta old team and they make the playoffs in an extremely...

Awesome! I like this move for the Warriors. Chris Webber, welcome back to the Bay!

Haha i'm hella LATE but yeah they damn sure did. Aint really much for me to say, cause I watched when 3rd Quarter started. But Beidrinz has a Nba high 26 rebounds, Proud of him. They did goood yesterdaay... KEEP IT UPPPPP!!!!!!! love ya'll.

I'm just watching the Warriors/Knicks game right now wait whaa.. mini-commercial interview just now and Nellie wants Webber? Is this gonna be good? Damn where have I been. MIssed some BD action had to rewind just now lol @ Houston on Tuesday.. I won't see that =/ am I the only one who thinks Yao doesn't live up to his hype? Just cause he's got like...

The Warriors did not play a pretty game against the Knicks but they survived 106-104. Andris Biedrins grabbed 26 boards and Stephen Jackson hit four big fourth quarter threes. Warrior fans also received word that their squad will likely soon be getting former all-star power forward and franchise ruiner Chris Webber.
