Chris Webber | Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech 

You mean sorely. Solely means he alone deserves respect.

Let’s take a timeout and applause chris webber.

@Mike Edwards You didn’t get the joke?

no disrespect but c-webb aint a hall of famer just being honest

@@sublime90 You are so wrong. It every way!

Who?

Charles Barkley and Isaiah Thomas.

Charles shed a tear?

@@da11king Nah, he's a TV star....Zeke's were real and they were wonderful to see

Facts!!!

CW did not win a championship but he made himself a hall of famer. CONGRATULATIONS

He has great parents, siblings and extended family. That's very important.

Yes

His humbleness is exemplary . Thank you Chris

Yes but I liked how he hinted at the fact that sports can be unfair also (2002' semifinals).

​@@multi150nyc facts!!! Very subtle. But I think he was def hinting at it!

Chuck,man,oh man, I rooted for him in Phoenix so bad,wanted him to get that ring. Fn Jordan is and was freddy krueger a fn nightmare

Chuck is the man. Great player, even greater person. Love that dude.

Ben Simmons should take note of that.

@@BernardMarx95 you’re right. When you think about it, it probably got him in the Hall of Fame. I’ve never heard Webber talk about how he did it - but it was critical to his success. It would save Simmons career if he could hit 70% FT%

Hope ben can achieve that next season

@@drbryant23 he doesn't need to talk about how he did it, it was pure hard work thats the fact of life to improvement, end of.

@@BernardMarx95 why you don't throw players away because out of the 10 skills of basketball one or two aren't to your liking...Ben is 25...as Webber laid out...you grow with time and opportunity and someone pouring into you...unfortunately for Ben he hears EVERYTHING and is in his head.

Cwebb was a real dude from Detroit. The Ed Martin scandal was bullshit and we all from Detroit knew that. University of Michigan had the fab 5 which is why their program is talked about more today. Michigan State dominated basketball for years, then the Fab 5 came along.

Aw man …. That’s all the speech was missing.

Man, I almost forgot about that! 😂😂😂

in life when things get down, and don't look great keep your mind straight and... run through the tape!

Nicely done :)

Quite ODD that Chris called TIME OUT 🤔 in the middle of his Speech 💬

But he wasnt the best player on that Kings team though. I think all of Fab 5 were overrated or didnt meet expectations.

@Chandra Gupta He is in the HOF because people that matter voted him in

@@troytroy-rq7fd He was!

@@mikewhite4560 the TIME OUT is you

Referees decided to give Shaq 20 free throws in one half. Thank the Vegas bettors for corrupting basketball. And I’m a Lakers fan

That one ref ruined everything.

@@MediCali951 you forgot crooked Referee Donaghy, late David Stern, and LA Fakers Chief Dr Buss (rumor has it he gave kickbacks to Donaghy and Stern) to create phantom fouls so that they can steal the Game 7 win from the Kings. They all need to go to jail if 2 of these crooks were still alive today. Donaghy served his time and hid his stash of cash to avoid paying debt to IRS.

@@gojira4036 Tim Donaghy exposed what happened behind the scenes, the agenda of the nba (extending series for more money/ratings, refs gambling, etc.) if anything Dick Bavetta, Bob Delaney, & Ted Bernhardt should be held accountable

I'm still pissed til this day. But at the same time I'm happy my big bro made the Hall OF Fame!💯💪🏿☝🏿🙌🏿

@ James maaan! a GOAT speech indeed! very eloquent as well, immaculate. what else can I say... excellent C Webb!

Uncrowned King

Truth

@Chandra Gupta so your frame of reference for intelligence is a STEM course ?

@Chandra Gupta sounds like they both got to hit and didn't leave you any money for a cab after.

Suns in 2007 as well.

Get your facts straight, donaghy didnt referee game 6 vs lakers.. nba rigged for lakers

No that was Bob Deleney

Tim Donaghy was not a referee in the 2002 Lakers Kings playoffs series. The kings had more free throws than the Lakers in the series, and won game 5 on many questionable calls against the Lakers. But Lakers haters don’t want to talk about game 5.

Knee injury robbed him. The year the Lakers got KOed was the Kings year. But he got injured against Dallas and needed microfracture surgery. He was never the same after that. They would have won the chip that year.

Your loved by all of michigan! Always will be! We'll done cwebb and I went to your first game in detroit when u didn't play I was heart broke lol so long ago... those was the golden state days!

Stop it he didn't deserve 1st ballot look at the man's career he didn't even live up to his hype and Washington u can't forget his 1st few years in the nba Sacramento he redeem himself his career was 50/50

yes sir. C web made me a kings fan for life!!!!!!!! C web the only reason why I come out. Now time to go hide until kings play again~~~~!!!

@B Smoove you must not know basketball. Webber won 3 straight high-school state championships while being the best player every year. He won Mr Basketball in the state of Michigan in 90-91 and MVP of the McDonald's all American game. He was the best player on a team that started 5 freshman and played for back to back national titles while at same time merging hiphop and basketball on a televised level and became cultural icons in college.He was the #1 overall draft pick and rookie of the year. 5 time all star and had a 10 year run he was top 20 in points and top 10 in rebounds every year. Several deep runs in the playoffs with Sac while going head to head with other all time greats and playing showtime style ball that nobody had seen since Magic and the Lakers up to that point. You either too young to had witnessed Webber or just don't know basketball.

@@anthonygordon2164 hes still not first ballot imo. Sure they got "robbed" but they didnt bounce back after that year and he just peaked and collapsed soon after

That was a beautiful speech 🙏🏽

Are you drunk? Paul? This disrespectful is sick!

Him and Paul pierce are close if we just basing off pure game

He is.

@@lilshsjsj1904 Nothing I said was disrespectful, doofus. Pierce had the better career of the two, but Chris Webber was the better player.

Well said. This is for me the best HoF speech since Shaq's. C-Webb is well-read and eloquent. His parents deserve credit for raising such a well-rounded man. He was one of my favorite basketball players and this speech cements him as not just a player but as a man too.

His only faults were durability and reluctance in attacking the basket and getting more free throws.

What up doe

Shoulda had Jalen there...and didn’t need to see Barkley nor Zeke.

@@melbrown2295 Well, there's the small matter of, only a HoFer can bring another one in. Jalen is not in the hall. I stand to be corrected.

@@melbrown2295 BEN WALLACE ROCKIN THAT TURTLENECK?

@Jumpball PH Name one outstanding accomplishment Webb did on the Court? I know what Pierce did for Boston, i know what Bosh did for Toronto & Miami. Webb is a great man off the court

@Chandra Gupta Bosh made Toronto relevant, he put up huge numbers for a mediocre team. No good players wanted to play for a Canadian team back then. When Bosh was on the Miami he was a very good 3rd choice player. Without him, the Heat might have won just 1 championship instead of 2.

@Chandra Gupta Bosh is a better version of AD. Bosh had less downtime than AD, he could spread the floor something that LBJ & Wade needed. Man you need to watch some videos of how that team played. Do I need to remind you of how him & Ray Allan saved the Heat from losing a championship game to the Spurs?

@Chandra Gupta Bosh is Toronto's all time leading rebounder and 3rd all time leading scorer

@Chandra Gupta Bro i can tell you have just started following basketball. Bosh played exactly like AD, check the highlights. AD hasnt proved or reached his full potential because of injuries. Availability trumps talent. AD COULD be great if he manages to overcome his injuries because he is talented. Why do you think LBJ decided to have Love in Cleveland? Because he thought Love was going to play just like Bosh. Bosh was so humble that he agreed to take the back seat & let LBJ lead. Why do u think LBJ & Wade like him so much?

😂😂

Yea was looking comment section for this. This should be a bigger story.

He did not, He got an offer under the table. A poor kid in a struggling home would not take that offer? They barely get by with scraps. But you would not understand that because you are probably privilege. "Offer" and "Take" are two different things.

I am glad Chris was able to tell his truth during his speech. He took a lot of heat because they thought he took money when all along Zeke had his back. Congratulations Chris Webber!!!!!

Quite ODD that Chris called TIME OUT 🤔 in the middle of his Speech 💬

He could’ve left that alone.. “you protected me from the vultures” cmon cwebb we all know Ed Martin gave you some money bruh it’s not that deep

@@stackntax1308 His college jersey was a top selling jersey for a long time.

@@humanbeing1000 yeah it was!! That’s why i don’t even care that he took money if any college player ever took money it SHOULDVE been Cwebb and those guys at Michigan… but just own it because we all know the ncaa are some crooks

@@stackntax1308 vultures reference was the streets of Detroit, drug dealers, neighborhood influences.

@@tonyh9886 he said I never had to take a penny from anybody….
