I’ll miss him.

Agent Hiro says:
I’ll remember C-Webb not for those eye popping stats, but rather as the highest paid high school player ever. That and his hilarious rap career, with the notable single “Gangster Gangster.”

HOF=yes.

He’s one of 6 with those numbers. Everyone but he and KG are enshrined.

i will remember him at his prime, his sacramento kings are one of my favorite teams of all-time.

As Bill Simmons wouls say “mortal lock for the Hall”..man, with those numbers we still say he underachieved..Wonder if we’ll look back at Baron Davis’s career in the same way..

$157 million !! Guess he had the numbers both on and off the court. Good for him.

I remember “Fab Five” was one of the first book in english i ever read (i’m french)-and it’s a great book even if it sometimes describes the worst side of things. I remember buying a Michigan backpack for 50 francs, and a Michigan T-shirt in a second-hand store. I remember people asking me if I was a tourist from Michigan, and I remember a Michigan State alumni telling me he didn’t know Magic Johnson had played for MSU.

He won’t be first ballot, that’s for sure.

in his early days he was the HUMAN HIGHLIGHT FILM.all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

am i reading his stats right? no 3 pointers in his rookie year?

Mar.26 at 1:40 pm

The Notorious King says:
I will always remember him 4 his days with the KINGS

Mar.26 at 2:05 pm

Kevin Wilson says:
I don’t see C-Webb getting in. He was a great player most nights, an elite player some nights, but his chances when down when that offensive rebound bounced to Robert Horry.

Mar.26 at 2:47 pm

the brown guy says:
i remember his kings team, so fun to watch

Mar.26 at 2:59 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
He also only played in 800-something games. So many injuries. Still, his time with the Fab Five (expunged records notwithstanding) should put him over the top. I hope.

Mar.26 at 3:16 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Weird bit of trivia that may only interest me (apologies to Peter King): Despite joining the L four years later–and having his own injury problems–Tracy McGrady has played only 92 fewer games than Chris Webber.

eyehatedirk says:
I’m a Michigan fan and a CWebb fan so this is a bummer, but I don’t see him being Hall of Fame worthy. I don’t ever remember him doing anything huge other than that timeout or that behind the back dunk on Barkley in the playoffs (a series I beleive they got swept in). It’s great that he overcame his blunders (the time out, travel, etc.) and had a nice career, but a hall of famer he’s not.

Dutch Rich says:
Dear Chris,
It seems like years ago when you and the Kings took on the mighty Lakers in the Conference finals. Your stride was already crippled by age.
You’ve been looking old out there.
Now reading your career stats and realizing that I’m 2 weeks older than you I can’t help but feel old as well.
Thanks for the memories.

Mar.26 at 3:33 pm

Dutch Rich says:
I will give you props for outlasting Jalen Rose.

G Diesel says:
Although he’s one of the biggest chockers of all time, he deserves to be in the HOF.

Mar.26 at 3:38 pm

TMT says:
I will always remember all those times that he lost to LA in the playoffs. Thanks for the 3 peat Chris.

In fact, it seems C-Webb and the Kings got beaten every year by the future champion-Lakers just like Patrick and the Knicks got beaten every year by future champion MJ-led-Bulls.

Mar.26 at 5:32 pm

phunkykarma says:
Remember when the Knicks used to play the play-offs ?

Mar.26 at 5:49 pm

Ben__ says:
CWebb was a compelling figure, but his numbers don’t warrant an HOF nod. Twenty PPG for his career is respectable, and four APG from a power forward is nice. But 7 rebounds a night from a post player? Not the stuff of greatness.

Mar.26 at 5:51 pm

Ben__ says:
Shoot, my bad. I don’t know where I got “7 rebounds a night” from. He averaged 9.8. Still not sure he’s a Hall of Famer, but sorry for screwing the up the stats.

Mar.26 at 7:25 pm

The Biz says:
C-Webb definite HOF

Mar.26 at 7:50 pm

Dacre says:
One of my favourite ‘bigmen’ ever. Thank you C-Webb for years of great basketball and fine teamwork. Perhaps your credulity could be remembered for what might have been and the excitment that was. Just talking about hall-of-fame status highlights the level you achieved. Albeit during a shortened career.

Mar.26 at 9:07 pm

presto says:
He is gonna make it to the hall of fame,surely!

Mar.26 at 9:18 pm

Ethan says:
I cant get the time-out in the NCAA game out of my mind, sorry C-Webb..He is probably HOF material though, yeah definitely KB24 MVP!

Mar.26 at 9:49 pm

Dacre says:
I’m hoping he’s done enough to be on the next version of NBALive. YOU’LL ALWAYS BE A “CUSTOM TEAM” SELECTION.

Mar.26 at 11:02 pm

tealish says:
How many ballots do players get? Is it 3? Whatever it is, CWebb should be last ballot or maybe not at all. Numbers aren’t everything. Ignoring his stats, when I think C Webb, I don’t even think superstar. HOFer, he is not.

Mar.26 at 11:28 pm

The Biz says:
tealish being an all-star is overrated

Mar.26 at 11:52 pm

Ty says:
Hall of Famer? He should be but I don’t understand the overrated talk cause it ain’t legit. I was looking at SLAM issue 100 with the retrospective In Your Face column and that pretty much sums it up. He finished fourth in the MVP balloting in the 2000-01 season where he was easily one of the best players in the Leauge that year. Being born in 1982 I remember The Fab 5 like it was yesterday and as a student of the game I’ll never forget Chris, Jalen, Juwan, Jimmy and Ray; will we ever see a team like that again, I don’t know I can’t call it?!.

thasam says:
Dominique Wilkins didn’t get in the HOF on the first ballot and he’s top ten all time in scoring, so I don’t see the voters getting him into the HOF anytime soon although I agree that with those numbers, plus his college career, should get him in - look at Bill Walton, he has a s**t NBA career, but he’s one of the greatest college players ever, so you can’t really dispute him getting in; but the HOF voters and the media in general LOOVE them some Walton, and they didn’t love them some CWebb as much

Mar.27 at 1:58 am

David says:
I think Webber was mentioned a little while ago when we were discussing whether or not Paul Pierce (and Ray Allen) would get serious consideration for the Hall of Fame. I think it’ll all be conditional on the HoF selection process improving, but I do have to wonder if Webber’s really a definite HoF’er. He was a really good player for the majority of his career (including respectable numbers in Philly) but with that serious injury cutting his playing time I remember that he was eclipsed by Stojakovic as the go-to player on the Kings… that doesn’t really strike me as someone that would be considered one of the all-time greats.

Mar.27 at 10:35 am

Russ Bengtson says:
You can’t just look at the stats, either. Everyone in League history who’s averaged at least 19 points and seven assists is in the Hall of Fame (those who are eligible), too. Does that mean Stephon Marbury (19.8 and 7.8, or thereabouts) is a lock? Webber never placed above fourth in the MVP voting, was only first team All-NBA once, never got to the NBA Finals, has no defining playoff moments, never played for Team USA. If he does make it, it won’t be for a long time. The only active “mortal locks” for the Hall as far as I’m concerned are Shaq, Iverson, Duncan, Garnett, Kidd, Kobe and LeBron.

One question, does Sacto retire his jersey?

Mar.27 at 4:33 pm

SteveSmith#8fan says:
Great stats but not a HOFer. Sometimes you have to look past the stats. He will missed however. I cannot believe that Howard is the last guy left from the Fab Five still in the league. Time really flies and I am getting old.

Chris Webber’s career has been a suck-sess.
