Chris Webber: King From Ghetto

Not the most appropriate first post for what ought to be a mets blog, but I had to get the ball rolling somehow.

At first glance, you might think the star of this youtube video is chris webber.  On the surface, that may be correct, but I think when you watch it, you’ll see why the editor also deserves praise.  The closing titles “still authority dunking, still terrific passer, still nice shooter, still c-webb” are verse so pure, they would make the pope weep.  Or at least contemplate his life glumly.

I wonder what chris webber’s career would have been like if he had played with shaq instead of being traded to golden state to butt heads with nellie, then get traded to washington for tom gugliotta of all people before really finding himself with those late-90s sacramento teams.  Could have been vastly different careers for all three players, penny in golden state playing with mullin and hardaway, shaq and webber playing together in orlando with skiles, nick anderson and dennis scott.

I’ve been slowly working on a preview of the nl east race for the rest of july and I should have it up later today, swear to god.
