Webber gave those spreading the misinformation a warning. He said he plans to take legal action if the posts aren't removed.

"So I'm gonna take this opportunity to issue my one and only advisory," Webber said. "If you have a platform and you have content with my name attached to lies, take it down now. To those that started the rumor, that started the lies and then continued to spread the lies, I dare you not to take it down. I dare you to repeat a lie. You're not going to defame my name. Of course, the lawyers are in action.

Webber and Christie were part of those great Kings teams that battled the Los Angeles Lakers in the early 2000s. The Kings were never able to get past Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant when they won three straight titles from 2000-02.
