Chris Webber praises and congratulates Beilein and team on championship.
Former Michigan basketball player Chris Webber was on the Rich Eisen show a few days ago and to my surprise, he congratulated and praised Beilein and the team. I know he doesn't have the best relationship with the univeristy, Jalen and even some of the fans, but I'm glad to know he still watches from afar. I'm personally a big C-Webb fan, as I know there are many out there who still are as well. Just nice to see him acknowledge coach and the team publicly. Also, gives his insight on the NBA, college basketball and how we can possibly fix the issues it currently has. Good listen overall.

Rememeber watching the local Detroit newscast and seeing high schooler C Webb in his goggles dominating the competition. LOVED him at Michigan and then moved to California and loved that he was playing for Sacramento. Watched a playoff game between the Kings and Lakers. Man, it's hard not to be a fan of his. BUT, it has been just as disappointing to see his pride getting the better of him. I am sure as he gets older, he wants to re-establish himself as a Michigan Man. This is probably a sign that it's closer. Always wish him well. But hoping the reconciliation with the Fab 5 and the University will happen sooner than later.
GO BLUE!!

I was thrilled when he got drafted by the Warriors, and then also loved his game really take off in Sacramento running their version of the Princeton offense. Some of the best offense I've seen, that may have gotten Cwebb a ring if not for Tim Donaghy and co.
Just feel bad because he had so much potential and it just didn't seem to be fulfilled. A lot of that is on him but I'm glad he's doing well on TNT and I do believe a reconciliation will happen at some point.
Hopefully a deep run in the tourney will bring the fab five together.
Did he hype his soon to be released book about his side of things?
