As someone who has been extremely critical; of CWebb, even I think this commercial is cool.  It puts Webber and Michigan in a good light.   He didn't have to choose maize and blue for this commercial...

I'd only disagree with this in the sense that since this commercial is aimed at the upcoming NCAA tournament, it'd be kind of moronic to have him in anything but his Michigan Uni.  Obviously it's still all good since they could have went with someone from another school.

I was just really surprised that the NCAA would sign off on a commercial with Webber that uses the NCAA logo. 

I guess the sponsors pay the money and the NCAA lets them do as they please.

First, of all the possible former college basketball players to pick, Burger King and the NCAA picked Chris Webber?  A guy who has no relationship with his school, a guy who isn't wearing a team jersey for whatever reason, a guy who technically did not happen in NCAA history?  Really?

Second, if you're Chris Webber, and you got publicly mad at Jalen Rose and the Fab Five guys for wanting you to watch Michigan in the Final Four with them...in your own city...on a night where the world knows you're not anywhere else...why would you sign up for some NCAA promotion at the Final Four?  Isn't Chris just begging for a sequel to Come On Chris, Man Up And Sit With Your Teammates?  Right?

especially the sequence of " did it hurt... when you fell from heaven?". As far a Cweb goes, to each his own. I hope he eventually grows up and takes some accountability - so I could try to like the charismatic guy that he is and the UM legend he should be. But if you are old enough to remember the 80's teams, and the subsequent suffering he put on UM for at least a decade - then you probably aren't "buying anything" from Chris.

You hope he "eventually grows up"? Get over yourself. Did you ever have to sit back and watch as a universtiy and atheltic apparel industries made millions upon millions off your name - while you made, um, a scholarship with little money to even spend on that apparel? Did you have to deal with being dissassociated from that university because you wanted something amounting to justice and relative equality? When you had a supposedly upstanding, prominent figure associated with the basketball program offering you money? There is no clear right and wrong in Webber's story. He rightly feels he was wronged. And the university rightly feels wronged. It's a big mass of grey. 

You cannot know Webber's full story, so stop telling him what to do, what is right and what is wrong (and pompously to "grow up") from your self-constructed white-bread pedastal.

slightly cringe worthy, but i think the grant hill / steve smith tablet commercial might be worse. something about hill calling him "smitty", and his delivery of "you know we did go all the way" is so dorky. this guy seemed sort of cool back in the 90s. how did he get so lame? was i just young and naive? good marketing?
