Chris Webber
Mayce Edward Christopher Webber III, better known as Chris Webber (born March 1, 1973), is a professional basketball player in the NBA.He went to college at the University of Michigan for two years. While at Michigan, Webber led the group known as the Fab Five, which included him, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson. This group, all of whom entered Michigan as freshmen in the fall of 1991, took the basketball team to the NCAA finals twice, losing both times. In 1993, Webber was selected first in the NBA draft by the Orlando Magic, who immediately traded him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Anfernee Hardaway and three future draft picks.
He had an outstanding first year, winning the Rookie of the Year award. However, because of his conflict with the coach, Don Nelson, Webber was traded his second year to the Washington Bullets. He spent three years with the Bullets (later renamed the Washington Wizards), making his first All Star team in 1997. On May 14, 1998, Webber was traded to the Sacramento Kings for Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe and has played for the Kings ever since. In Sacramento Webber has been considered the best player on the team, leading them into the playoffs every year. However, he has been injured often and the team has played just as well, which makes some people question whether he is worth his high salary. Nevertheless, Webber is still considered one of the better players in the league, averaging 22.1 points per game and 10.2 rebounds per game in his career.
