This interview put me to sleep 😴, It was one of the worst interviews that I’ve listened to in quite some time. It was so bad that I didn’t even finish listening to it. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
@@wrench9103believe he's said he thought he heard a teammate or coach yelling for a time out and panicked with the chaotic sequence of the entire play . I was a kid when it happened and truth is the timeout should've never happened because he traveled from the get go 😂. I was rooting for Michigan that night and I couldn't believe it
@@tacotom3492 I hear yeah. But any therapist would say just talk about it bud. He won’t do an interview if you talk about it. He would have done better in the pros if he would have talked about it. Released stress.
"What is the role your parents played in helping you understand that this is not going to define you?" I've listened to this show since you left ESPN. That may be one of the best questions you've ever asked. I just wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard your guest say "great question". Great interview
I didn't know much about Chris Webber (except what he showed on the floor), but this was just an incredible interview and looking forward to reading the book. His stories are really compelling.
Was never a Chris Webber fan, but I have a new found like and admiration for this man. He is well spoken, articulate and appreciative of his life. He's also a man of Christ and his faith is strong. Chris, you have gained a new fan.
Great interview Mr Patrick, by Cweb's reaction I knew you were hitting his heart with those questions and you can tell he wanted those questions to be asked.
This is an incredible interview. It’s astounding to listen to Dan talk to both Chris Webber and Christian Laettner all these years later. The wisdom, perspective and peace both men have now is uplifting. As fans we can dehumanize athletes and turn them into caricatures but these interviews remind us that human beings are at the core of sports and life is so much bigger than the games.
This Chris Webber interview and Dan Patrick's interview with Alan Iverson last year are two of the best interviews ever. Both are truly a gift to listen to
I don’t know why but Chris just seemed a little on edge and nervous a little tremble in his voice. I hope he’s doing Ok and enjoying life the best he can. I will say Chris Webber was one of thee best former player color analysts I’ve ever heard on TNT etc doing NBA games along with Reggie Miller. His insights into current team trends in style of play and personal clashes on court etc it was like he was an insider or teammate taking a game off to broadcast. He was incredible and always mature and positive. So impressive. I don’t know why he and TNT/NBA networks had a parting of the ways but I miss his presence very much. Good luck Chris and god bless.
That was refreshing to hear. So much positive from this interview.! Hearing you say that you are thankful your parents were disciplinarians and helped you become who you are even through adversity gives me coursge to do raise my son the same way. Thanks you so much Chris Webber!
Everytime you hear his name it will always be the time out!! He's doing great things now and does alot for his community!! But Dan time out will always be by his side!!
Wow, I got watery eyed🥲 in the end there. Great parenting. Pretty important messages; "not a friend" led by example, cared more about who C. Webb became than what... Good stuff👍🏻💪🏻
So so happy that Chris Webber is happy &doing well, he never gets the credit he deserves cuz he played in the wrong era; the power-forward era. There's a handful of guys that had all the talent like Larry Johnson, Derrick Coleman, Shawn Kemp, Zack Randolph, Antwan Jamison &Elton Brand that will be forgotten in year or two; if they haven't been already. Just so glad that tit didn't happen to Webber &the style of playmaking, with the big running the offense from the high-post; Webber perfected it. Jokic, Embiid & Sabonis are all running versions of that C. Webb offense
there's also authorities out there who benefit from dividing people, yet people fail to realise it. red vs blue alone comes in the form of democrats & republicans, bloods and crips, labour vs conservative and more. racism and sexism isn't much different.
Mitch Albom said it before, “Chris Webber tries too hard to make people believe he came from a hard up bringing if he was from the hood.” His mom was a schoolteacher and his dad worked at GM…don’t sound like a hard upbringing to me 🤔😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Webber is still trying to act like he grew up in a hard scrabble environment. He’s overcompensating because he knows that he grew up in a privileged family. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
So true!! You could tell he was different than his teammates in that documentary on espn. His vocabulary was developed in high school, his freshman year he was trying to sound uneducated and like his teammates.
@@JJdeluxeCSU - Yeah, he tries too hard to be a homeboy. You can tell that he’s just not comfortable in his own skin. He projects a lot of insecurities in the way he talks and carries himself even to this day. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
This has been going on for decades. Not just in rough neighborhoods but EVERYWHERE. I taught at an inner city high school, I taught at a suburban high school and a predominant hispanic high school for 17 years and most kids (white, black, hispanic, didn’t matter) would almost brag about how bad they had life. God forbid anyone would be proud to have any privilege or great parents because kids would make fun of them or call them soft. They would rather lie and act dumb, or poor than to show they had anything easy. Edit: Pretty sure I did it myself when I was a kid. Also, not saying Chris lived privileged life (no clue if he did or not) but my point is, this is more of a society problem than a Chris Webber problem as the original poster seems to imply.
@@Dtown3thirteen - Bro, everyone knows he grew up on a middle class home 🏡. It’s not a secret. The fact that he keeps trying to project that he grew up in abject poverty and “the ‘hood” indicates that he’s overcompensating. He feels “less black” than his peers like Jalen Rose who grew up with a lot less than him. 🤷🏻♂️
