Webber To Retire

Well, I always réally liked Webber, from the beginning in GS already. Don't really know why, but hey...

Kinda gay song, but nice video. And he still had nice handles for a big man, even back in Detroit. I'm gonna miss him, that's for sure.

Comparing those Kings teams to the Suns and Warriors?? Way off base.

The Kings were closer to a Princeton offense then they were a run-and-gun team. The way they killed teams was in the halfcourt. Sure they pushed and got easy baskets, but that was far from their identity.

The Wizards are the closest to how the Kings played, but its a different variation because they don't have a Vlade/Webber.

Webber never won when it mattered most

Joe and Gavin Maloof, who owned the team, erected a billboard on the highway to Webber’s house that read: “Chris: Joe will mow your lawn if you stay. Gavin.”

Maybe that's the reason why it took him so long to sign with a team this season, he knew his body can't take it anymore and was probably testing it out, just in case, when he signed with Golden State.
Webber was probably one of the versatile big men that came to the league (Garnett being the recent one that comes to mind). I still recall one instance where he was guarding the Nuggets' Nick Van Exel in the perimeter and Nick was doing some dribbles and about to penetrate the lane but Webber just stole the ball from him.

Webber was an awesome big man with the Pistons a year or two ago, but his injuries seem too much.
