SPURS: Spurs Sign Brent Barry

That's what I figured would happen.

At last, Chris "Whinner" Webber is going to retire... even though it should have been done 5 years ago... boo hoo...

ESPN - Webber, battling chronic knee problems, to call it a career - NBA

I don't care if it is just me, I do not feel sad or bad at all to know about this news. That guy is just a disappointment, he is no big game player (he consistantly went AWOL in big games), not even close to a championship level kind of player in my opinion. So long, sucker!

That's pretty hard man. He was a great power forward in this league. It is no easy task to average 20 and 10 in the nba let alone for a winning team, which he did several times. He was one of the good guys and would have liked to see him get a ring or at least make it to the finals. He should have resigned with the pistons this season. wtf was he thinking with the warriors?

Nah, I think I am already being nice about him. Sure, he has the talents to make most teams win games and make the playoffs, there is no doubt about that. However, to me, he has zero heart and he just can't win the big ones when they count.

Case in point, remember the 2002 WCF against the Lakers? Except for game 3, where the hell was he? For that entire series, it was Mike Bibby not Webber who kept the Queens winning. What about game 7? It was in Sacto and what did Chris Webber do besides his usual whinning? Instead of attacking the low post when Shaq looked tired, and no one else could really guard him down low; he kept shooting from the elbows and kept missing them. If not for Mike Bibby and Bobby Jackson, that game wouldn't even have gone to OT in the first place!

Finally, you said he should've resigned with the Pistons? Ha! I thought it was the Pistons that showed they have zero interest in him.


EDIT Ok, I thought I should at least say one good thing about him... for a baller, he is kind of handsome looking, and that dude once dated Tyra Banks... dude, who doesn't want to date such a hot mama?

The pistons would have signed him had he understood his role. He thought he was still worth 30 plus minutes a night and a starters role. It's his fault not theirs. I guess that supports your claims against him and does nothing for my cause. I guess that guys ego got in the way of him doing anything really great team wise in the nba

This is an interesting article on C-Webb, nice one.

Just got words that we are NOT going to get all playoffs games! WTF?! I know for a fact we do not get all the games in the first round. It is likely just one game each day (well, the each day part is not yet confirmed either)

[heavyjeffd]

Spurs are on a nice roll right now. Good to see!

[GH0STrider]
