Will Chris Webber Decide Who Wins the 2007 NBA Title?

Found January 12, 2007 on 20 Second Timeout:
PLAYERS: Chris Webber

Stop me if you've heard this story before: an All-Star power forward wears out his welcome with several teams; he amasses impressive statistics but his teams do not win any championships; by the time his last team gives up on him, he is barely averaging 10 ppg and his career seems to be coming to an unceremonious end. Sounds like Chris Webber, right? It does, but I'm actually referring to Bob McAdoo. The Lakers acquired McAdoo in December 1981 to replace the injured Mitch Kupchak and McAdoo revived his career, making indispensable contributions to two Lakers title runs in the next four years. Then Lakers Coach Pat Riley has said on more than one occasion that the Lakers would not have won those championships without McAdoo.

  • If you look back at what was written about McAdoo before the Lakers acquired him, you will find out that people said the same things about him at that time. The East is weak this year and the Spurs and Mavs showed last year (and early this year) that they are pretty evenly matched. The Lakers could use a veteran inside presence. C Webb is a potential difference maker if he goes to the right team.

49 Chris Webber Rookie Cards

Via RotoEvil  |  February 05, 2008
For the past 14 years, I didn't want to look at these cards. Now I have to. Webber is expected to play for the Warriors this Thursday, their 49th game of the season. To commemorate this event, I've dug deep into my closet to post 49 Chris Webber rookie cards...

Who's in the rocking chair?

New 'Lost' tonight. Chris Webber makes his second Warrior debut tonight against the Chicago Bulls, getting the start. Steve Carlton signed with the San Francisco Giants in 1986, who hoped he could recapture some of his old form. This signing seems headed for a similar ending. (San Francisco Chronicl...

What the issue of trading means to some coaches

Via Basket Interference?  |  January 05, 2008
Sometimes it pays to make things work between a player and a coach. Take for example the Chris Webber and Head Coach Don Nelson fiasco awhile back in GSW. Sure, Nellie is back as their Head Coach, but he no longer wields the administrative powers that he once did. As for Webber, well...let's just say that http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifthe sun has certainly set on his...

Jalen Rose: Fab Five billboard

Via Deuce of Davenport -  |  October 15, 2007
Great post from the blog, Deuce of Davenport. "Michigan alum and current Phoenix Sun Jalen Rose bought a billboard to honor the Fab Five the season after their 15-year anniversary." Because of Chris Webber's indiscretions, the Fab Five's banners had to be taken down at the school. "Rose had the billboard placed in Detroit near the area where he and...

Bad Trades: Lakers vs. Kings

Via The Rants of a Basketball Maven  |  December 23, 2007
Marc Stein lists his top 5 bad trades in his Daily Dime column. In his honorable mention sits the Chris Webber to Philadelphia trade, which I lambasted as "the worst trade ever." At the time, nobody agreed with my assessment. As I said in a later column, the Webber trade officially ended Sacramento's...

Monday Bullets

Last time Chris Webber was a free agent, I wrote about how Chris Webber would not make a big difference wherever he landed. Then the Pistons signed him and rattled off a mess of wins. Now he's honing in on Golden State, and I'm inclined to think the same thing again. Don Nelson disagrees, however.The...

Practice? We're talkin' practice?

From Janny Hu. Not to take anything away from a nice Warriors' win tonight, but there just wasn't enough room in tomorrow's paper to do this Chris Webber-Jim O'Brien drama justice. The background: Player and coach didn't get along during their partial 2004-05 season together in Philly. O'...

A good reason to sign an NBA player to a multi-million dollar deal

Via Basket Interference?  |  October 15, 2007
Gone are the days where National Basketball Association (NBA) players were able to sign outlandish contracts such as that of the Los Angeles Lakers star Earvin "Magic" Johnson's nonsensical 1984 deal that proposed to pay him "a million dollars a year for next 25 years" to a pair of astronomical 1993 rookie deals that gave then Golden State Warriors' forward...

Hill's Return To Pistons Would Be Poetic Justice

Via Out of Bounds  |  June 25, 2007
Call it "Homecoming -- The Sequel". But here's hoping that it has the same results as "The Godfather, Part II," as opposed to "Caddyshack II." The Pistons tried to play the nostalgia and emotion card last January, when they brought Chris Webber home to finally realize his dream of playing NBA ball in Detroit. And it worked, for a time -- until...
