Chris Webber wasn't just Seinfeld, creating plotlines around minimal moments in life. He was Sisyphus, a tragic Greek figure condemned to eternal failure.
Injury prone and never won anything! That is something that is sure to be brought up by anyone who doesn't understand just how nice Chris Webber was. Sure he had his time on-and-off the court where he ran into problems, but ask anyone who actually sat down and had a conversation with the man, and you would get a whole different perspective.
The years with the Kings...fuggetaboutit. He was one of the best doing it. The team was deadly with the ability to knock them down (everyone had a J...1 - 5 ). Not just that, he had a sweet touch with the ball that seldom a big man could match. It made me a fan. So much potential that even when he gave you 20 and 10, people were asking when he was going to stop playing. However, all the talent and ability in the world couldn't stop fate.
Oh...I'm leading in the BSO brackets... Tough break Duke and USC fans...*does march dance*
He just didn't end up on the good side of things. He always seemed to be just this close...this close to winning, only to have his dreams snatched away. He did it to himself ( the extra timeout); Robert Horry did it ( the dream shattering 3 Webber had a chance to block); and Lebron James did it ( giving his best performance to give the Pistons 4 straight losses).
He just couldn't win it seemed. As the knee began to wear out, I felt a tad sad. It became clear that he would't ever get that ring, nor would he ever be looked at as one of the league's best elite big men. Truthfully... "A Dream Deferred" if I ever saw one.
