- C Webb is in the building! He’s the man who’s always been at the center of the culture - from his star-studded AAU team to the legendary Fab Five years to his 15-year run in the league. The Midwest legend begins by breaking down his insanely stacked AAU teams and explaining the wild Midwest basketball culture he thrived in while growing up. Then it’s all about Michigan and the Fab Five. The boys who defined college basketball at the time. He gets into the baggy shorts and the buzz cuts, what that ride to fame as a group of college friends was like, and how painful it was experiencing losses in back-to-back championship games. Then he chats post-college, how his mother creatively helped him get over The Timeout, and how the draft process saw him through some hard times. From there, the guys take turns imagining what a C Webb-Shaq duo would’ve done to the basketball world, and Chris gives the backstory of why Shaq pushed for Penny Hardaway. It all worked out, as C Webb linked up with part of Run TMC in Golden State and snatched Rookie of the Year. He goes on to explain his Godfather-like contract, which allowed him to be a free agent after his first season, and what sent him to the East to reunite with Juwan Howard in D.C. The guys then get into C Webb’s finding out that he’d been traded to Sacramento ... while in a grocery store, and why he was so adamant about not wanting to play there. Things changed fast, though, as teammates made him love it there and his arrival led to the Kings’ most successful stretch. C Webb then touches on the final years of his career, what it was like to play with AI in Philly, and what he’s been doing since he retired, including growing his collection of African-American artifacts and teaching a master’s class at Wake Forest. We see you, Professor! C Webb has truly done it ALL. From the game of basketball to the game of life, Chris Webber is a hands-down inspiration. Tune IN!

Pulled up faster on this video than Jalen Rose's barber before an episode of NBA countdown.
Lmmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
With that black ink hairspray lol
Jalen stay clean, crispy and wavy! No hairspray... Repping Detroit well👑
😆 take this like
He came in a restaurant i used to work at and asked our GM why all the servers were white and all the bussers black? After that they started hiring and moving as many black folks to server as they could. He came back a couple times after that. Dude legit looks like he 28 years old in person. And thats my Chris Webber story.
Damn, i worked in the food industry for 7 years, been a busser most of those years and never viewed it that way. I served as well too, not really my interest, but he's definitely right, they do not cultivate black servers.
Glad u shared this Story 🖤🖤🙏🏿💯💎
Seriously Thanks if more People with influence spoke up it would change a lot of things
that's a dope story, shouts out to c webb
@@PhilBurr100 Thank you for sharing, fam.
C Webb is criminally underrated...one of the greatest passing big men of all time
I went to Mumford high school in detroit....chris mother was a special ed teacher there....she was always loving and kind.....
My whole family went to Mumford. I always heard great things about her as well
We need more teachers like Mrs. Webber in the DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOL COMMUNITY DISTRICT...👑❤💯x10 They need her as an advisor IN A SERIOUS WAY.
She taught a computer class too
Mumford
And she looks like him in a wig lol
PUT...WEBB...IN...THE...HALL OF FAME!!!!!
ASAP
Nah, it’s not the hall of very good
@@stringer2295 nah...if Reggie Miller in Cwebb should be in...thats my bar...Cwebb was 5x all nba..made the first team once, 3 second teams...20 and 10 for his career..rookie of the year...Reggie was 3x all nba, never made a first or second team,averaged 18 and 3..both of them were 5x allstars
He needs to be in the hall of fame.
@@mirrortintedvessel I guess Reggie's clout came with extra credit from competing against the Bulls and Knicks and also being as 3-pt wizard in the playoffs. But I agree both deserve to be in the hall.....at minimum C-Webb, Jalen and the rest of the Fab 5 brought baggy shorts, black socks and shoes, which even the MJ Bulls would later wear..
Webb Deserve To Be In The Hall Of Fame
Facts wtf they waiting on
They stupid as hell
We all know why he's not
U are so right Chris Will and its a fucking shame
@@waltergibson2339 same thing with Tim Hardaway. Politics.
😂😂😂😂😂jumped hooked D. Miles to death. "36 all jump hooks"
A
Jump hooked my azz to death! 😂😂😂😂😂
“Bobby Jackson crossed me so hard I lost sight of him”
Booby Jackson was cold!
He got a nice pull up too
It's cool that C-Webb talks to kids about anything, even the timeout call in college. He turned a sad moment into a teaching lesson.
Also was the name of his foundation: TIMEOUT.
That man's looking young like he could still play today.
He and Isiah Thomas.
Them knees aint holding
@@Doknot-tb9ey yeah, zeke always looks the same. He sippin that Pharrell juice.
His knees not feeling the same way tho
@@chrisisslick Facts!! Pharrell looks like he drinks babies blood. 🤣🤣😂😂😂
Glad that he gave Doug Christie his props. People don't understand Doug Christie was different.
Facts
Real talk. He was such a good all round player and a solid person by all accounts
His wife too. Scary, yet sexy. Yet boss!!
@@michaelgroskopf9878 His wife was nuts lol
Get off his nuts weirdo
I cried when he called that timeout. Rep the (313) C Webb and J Rose D town legends.
I hated that mental lapse for C-Webb but as a Tar Heel fan I loved it.
Knuckleheads coming out with the haymaker!!!
Chris Webber should be in the hall of fame not only because of his number and overall career but how he turned that Sacramento franchise around
Agreed it’s crazy to think a top 2 or 3 player in a franchise’s history isn’t in the Hall of Fame
C-Webb! He and Kemp were my two favorite PFs in the 90s-00s. And my boys got them BOTH! ✊🏾😎✊🏾
Find you a woman that loves you like the D-Miles loves AAU/high school talk. Breh's lights be lighting up during those discussions.
Lmao
Cause that’s when he was at his absolute best and he knows that... I saw him in high school and it flag out wasn’t fair
You’re right! That’s when he met a lot of these cats...and they know a lot of the same players that we forgot about or only were able to see for a short time...it’s cool to hear the backstories...it’s funny how espn and fs1 report on the shit they hear from these podcasts...we’re takin over!!!! Nice job Q and D I’m so proud of my dawgs...used to love playing with them on nba live 03
Jon Blow they definitely bring back great memories
😂😂😂
The fact C Webb ain’t the HOF makes the HOF look like a joke..His numbers are first ballot yet he still ain’t in after 8 years GTFO
Especially because it's the Basketball HOF and takes into account your impact on basketball outside of the NBA as well. Fab Five plus his NBA playing career makes it ridiculous he isn't in by now.
@@binarystar25 Grant Hill is smh
And vlade divac is smh
Controversial character, HOF one day.
@@binarystar25
For the reasons you think he should be in HOF, those reasons are the controversial reasons he is not in the HOF. The 44 long and black socks don't move the needle. But, the wins and the numbers and character make a better impact. Sooner or later 🤔HOF. The biggest thing is, he made mistakes along the way😬. Yet, he made the big league and changed his family's life. I can relate to his life. He was given lemons and made lemonade😏. Congrats on sticking in the NBA for a relatively long career and getting well paid for your service😌. It still hurts that he lost 2 finals.😞😫😓
This my first favorite player, C Webb was a dawg
Got this notification then the Joe Johnson on All the smoke notification at the same time🔥🔥🔥
The 🏀 gods bless us today
@@heartbreakkid2 big facts💯
@Nino Brown what???
Today was a great hoops podcast day
Same here bro
This man is the reason why I am a SacTown fan!!!
Chris Webber was one of the cooooooldest PF ever to touch a basketball....EVER! He got cheated outta a championship against LA in the early 2000's and they're LUCKY he got hurt against Dallas when he was in Sacramento cuz he was gunna DEFINITELY win it all.
The Hall of Fame needs to step it up and do their job and go ahead and put him in there!...ASAP!
LEGEND...💯💪🏾💯
Lakers won for a reason
@@koben1 You're right....and the reason was David Stern making the call...💯
@@koben1 Bro, as a lifetime Laker fan, that game 6 was rigged as hell in our favor. No shame in saying the truth. That Sac team should've won in 2002.
One of my favorite CWebb moments is the moment he got drafted #1 and him & his pops hug; at that moment you can tell meant so much to both of them... that was deeper than love. His pops didn’t wanna let him go ♥️ #respect
Damn bruh can’t believe ya brought Webb on a 2 hour show. Imagine ya have Jamal Crawford for a 3 hour episode. Homeboy got A LOT of stories
Chris you are still repping Detroit well THEN AND NOW. 👑💯
The only reason why C-Webb doesn't have a ring is because SAC was robbed in the 2002 WCF. I hope he gets his redemption at the HOF because he's an all-time great.
He lied about taking money in college which may keep him out the HOF.
@@evanj2carter571 and the fact that he won’t just accept that is ridiculous. Being mad at Jalen & the rest of his brothers for nothing 🤦🏾♂️
Yep. the refs made them miss all of those shots. Remote control rims kept moving.
@@MistaGrim the calls on that game were ridiculous
@@strahinjastevic7480 The ref made them brick all their shots in the clutch, right? Lol
❤❤❤ C Webb one of the most famous players internationally. We live about a 1 day and a half flight from the state, about a 16 hour flight if you go straight. Hes one of the most recognised players where I'm from.
Glad y'all had Webb on, I used to love this dude on the Kings
Q and D Miles best interview ever Chris actually seemed like he didn't want to get off the interview man he got good stories and Q yo ass funny as ever i can see you crackin' jokes on the side too but i know you can't cause it's an interview but i know this at the crib you signifying all day rightfully so too cause we do this when we all get together and talk Chicago public league hoops all ya'll need is some drinks and some food this was like kickin' it with you all in person thanks for this ! Marcus Liberty's pod cast is the same way I love all this. Q one time ya'll gotta let someone interview you guys so we can hear all the funny stories and your travels. I know some little stories of things about you all but be cool to hear more stories. Great interview !
Knuckleheads and All the Smoke are the 2 top basketball podcasts out rn!
Knuckleheads waaay better imo
@@2bannounced817 Knuckleheads is definitely better. Matt was a lower-tier player that acts like he was a great. He is annoying...and Stephen Jackson is just...so ignorant. These two, are just cool dudes.
Nah Knuckleheads and No Chill w Gil
Props to C-Webb being able to pull off the mustache only look in 2021 without it looking strange lol.
This should have more views likes comments ect it's C Webb my dude since his Michigan days
I still can't figure out how Webber's still not in the Hall Of Fame.
He averages 20PPG, 9.8Rpg, 4.2 AST. It’s disrespectful that Yao mind made it before him🤦♂️
@@prophecy9521 Yao made primarily for his work as an international basketball ambassador, not for his NBA career.
now he is. :)
@@melkadyo yeeeees lol
Who remembers the CWebb DaDa?
😂
With the spinner on the side lmao Vlade use to rock them shits too
Oh hell nawh 😄😶
I was actually doing video work for DaDa at the time Chris was there.
The Mirror Dadas in the 2002 All-star game
Smilin through this entire interview! Straight up ballers back then...late 80's/early 90's!
One of C. Webb's high school championships was against my team Albion HS in 1991. I played against C. Webb all through high school, AAU and college. FACTS 💯
Dope!!!!!
Q's reaction when he heard Voshon Lenards name 🤣
C Webb HOF‼️ In my 📖
Much love to the show! C-Webb a Certified Legend!!
ya'll kill it every time. ive watched some other similar shows and they just don't have the same swagger and realness. cant thank you enough for giving us the fans a chance to feel the game and players in this the way. you've mastered an incredibly difficult skill in making an interview feel like a conversation and allow your guests to take us somewhere personal and intimate. kudos fellas.
C Webb another legend. Y'all killin em D&Q banger after banger! I have a strong feeling y'all going get my big bro on here soon. Penny Hardaway!
They Did Penny Hardaway.
@@bsmgamblesteven6879 They did Tim Hardaway Bro!
My favourite player while growing up, him and T-Mac were the best to me.
Chris Webber and Penny Hardaway were the next generation after Micheal Jordan.. I remember when MJ came back from retirement and he said that Penny was the next in line to carry the league. But that Detroit Draft was incredible class of players!
I went to that draft 👍🏾
Good times!! 👍🏽🙏🏽
Good times!! 👍🏽🙏🏽
If it was not for injuries, Grant Hill was special, too.
Grant hill
PUT CHRIS WEBBER#4 IN DA NBA HALL OF FAME ALREADY .. IT'S LONG OVERDUE ..
Quinton asks great questions but it takes 15 minutes to ask it!!!!
Fun interview. One of the best. Shout out from Detroit westside.
I been waiting for this dude!!!!!!! CWebb is kinfolk for real!!! Thanks to D and Q for making this happen!!!!!!
Great one to come back with!
Webber should've been on a minimum of 8 All Star teams. He's severely underrated. Right on the level of Malone, Duncan and Barkley. For some reason, stern must've had it in for him.
U dragged it... Not on those guys' level what so ever
Hes really good but not on their level. Right below them.
Hmm... a prime C-Webb definitely was a game changer.
Check out riggedba channel so you can see a different perspective.
Idk if CWebb on Timmy level. Talent wise he may be better than Timmy but Timmy was dominant like Shaq. The 2000's.. what an era.
@@smokyjackson584 BS. He was every bit on their level. His career stats and impact on every team that he played for proves it. Every team that he joined, improved. In his prime, he had both the skills of a power fwd and a small fwd. And an exceptionally high IQ for the game.
@@testostyrone33 never even went to the final wat u talking about
Webb is absolutely my favorite College/Pro 4Man. Intelligent, Gifted And Still Thriving. Great job Q & D!!!!
C WEBB....Humble but a Gangsta of a player.. That Sacramento team was iconic....
This interview is an instant classic
Chris gets so much hate as a commentator but he’s so genuine. I feel like if he had another partner commentating with him, it would help a lot
Chris is a good commentator. I enjoy when he's doing games
The' Second Greatest Power Forward out of Detroit behind Derrick Coleman.
He's better than Coleman imo
No disrespect to DC but Webber is in another tier bro
DC was a beast and had a different mentality than Webb but he wasn't as talented
DC had huge potential, but he fucked it up. Webb was a legit superstar.
Coleman from Alabama
“I remember when my mind would tell me to do something and my leg couldn’t”
-Chris Webber
(Real shyt and that goes beyond basketball)
Yes ... I was a young bull. I graduated with D.Miles "STRAIGHT OUTTA E. ST LOUIS DR. HIGH" BUT MY BOY WEB, AND THE FAB 5 , WAS WHEN I STARTED REALLY QUATING NAMES AND PAYING ATTENTION TO COLLEGE BASKETBALL... FUNK HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY GUY, Q IS THE TRUTH...CHI TOWN.... I LOVE YALL ✌🏿
Girbaud Jeans were the business back in the day!! Ha! CWebb takes me back to college days. Duke games, baggy look, all of it... Love this one!
This is the dude, right here. Happy to see this conversation between some different past favorite players of mine.
BEST episode ever!!! Love me some Knuckeheads, and C-Webb!
When I was into sports heavy, Chris Webber was my favorite player. When I lived in Pontiac, MI., My Uncle and I would watch Michigan games together while He would go through a pack of cigarettes...saying the Fab Five always make the games tight. This episode had great pacing. Salute!!!
Those Lakers-Sacremento playoffs were legendary!
This y’all best interview!!! CWebb gave y’all 2 hours plus!!!!
Great interview! I appreciate these two for always having some OG’s on the show! 💪🏾👍🏾✌🏾
The best C-Webb interview I’ve seen
Great to listen to the real CWebb instead of Chris Webber on TNT 😰
Facts. I feel the same way about Brandon Marshall. They need to find a way to just be conversational while on air as opposed to trying to sound professional. They just do to much at work but are mad cool & interesting when being authentic.... IMO
We used to get the real CWebb when he worked on Inside The NBA, the color commentator version is definitely his worst role tho
Forreal, I know I know I might get shit for this, but he is annoying asf on TV... I mean the dude KEEPS TAKING NON STOP. A player will run down the court and he’ll be like “Yeah he was really fast as a 8 year old” and talk about it for 10 minutes straight, but he is a good person tho.
The one on tnt is pure trash
Webber stay real y'all don't know business
I've always been a big C-Webb fan .. much respect!
The Jump hook 🤣🤣
Great interview. We don't hear a lot of C Webb because he keeps things close. I don't think I've ever seen him do an interview and share this much. Appreciate ya'll
Y’all got another one! Great show. CWebb is really iconic!
As usualy - great! Thanks for 2 hours full of on & off court stories. C-Webb is high on my list for future guests in my podcast.
Y’all did it again!
Salute to Knuckle heads for getting C Webb to sit and talk for 2 hours, Its Great to hear his Perspective and reflections on his path and Career. Most Def should be in the Hall of Fame. I agree Big Ten basketball was that move back in the day he made reference to that 89 Fighting Illini Squad and UNLV being the teams they patterned they games in college after. over all this was a dope interview
This Ep was worth the wait! One of the best Eps yet!! 💪🏾
I met C Webb a couple times in my life man real down to earth cool dude!!!
These 2 are on another level homie.
You guys gotta get David Robinson on the podcast! Dude is rarely talked about among the greatest players of all time but that man was dangerous 😤 I wanna hear his stories battling with Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing, etc.
This a dope podcast bruh much love!👉🏿👊🏿
By far one of the best shows. C Webb is a real dude. His story is so compelling, especially the whole Univ. of Michigan saga. I appreciate his candidness.
C webb one of my favorite players growing up!
Hey, Professor Webber 🤗
I love this podcast!! You'll always bring the great interviews
One of the best episodes for sure.
Thank you for blessings us with this episode!
Thank you C Webb!
we wanna give you all roses now!
I'm glad to see that he's back with the crew
This was sooo much fun to watch!
I’m a senior citizen now.I met Mr. Chris Webber outside of the players entrance when he played for The Washington Wizards. I attended the game with my nine year old son. He was a “Junior Bullet.” Chris signed my book written about the Fab Five. He had the biggest Mercedes I had ever scene. Nice young man. Chris,Jalen,and Juwan don’t age,they have a full head of hair with a hairline. They are truly blessed. Thank you Chris!
Yessir... Great Work Fellas
Another amazing espode
Love seeing players i grew up watching having that real talk...i love this podcast
💯💯💯💯
When Chris was in Philly towards the end, he came inside my apartment complex with to see Duce Staley of the Eagles. I was starstruck, not to see him, but to see Tyra Banks with him who he was dating.
Damn I had no clue they were a couple
Yup!!! I'm from Dallas hooper came out mid 90's black nike socks white check🔥
This is the best interview I've seen of CWebb! It was authentic, insightful and entertaining. I had to subscribe. Go Blue!
you guys are awesome!!!! GREAT INTERVIEWS!!
Keep it 💯 after quarantine, gotta get the whole fab 5 in the room together
First thing outta Q mouth... “timeout...” I looked at c Webb face like oh snap you know he got ptsd from that word 😂
That's cold blooded. LMFAO!
I was at Alameda College when Webb came the Town. Interesting story that day Salute Webb
My favorite player growing up!! Great interview family
I had a wonderful time on this interview oh my God bringing back old school Sacramento give us memories Chris Webber you did a wonderful job for the community in a team I know you try your best to win a championship for us Jason William
That team was so cool very flashy very fast always like to have fun Doug Christie Good defense beefing with the LA Lakers I really really believe they got cheated by Lakers bad ass big shot from Robert Horry I really believe it that was a crazy game we’re not getting no place or nothing like that when I get a no foul
One of my favorite king players and NBA in general. Kings 4 Life.
How C. Webb up here looking younger than D Miles? C. Webb is black history. Super blessed.
Good interview
Some of his high school games were played in Downtown Detroit. It was Lebron before Lebron. The games was packed with people. It was like a concert. A huge event. C Webb is Top 5 in Michigan hands down.
Eventhough I was a Fav 5 fan my man mentioned Calbert Chaney. He was a dawg at Indiana under Bobby Knight. I didn't realize that they were coming up together. Much respect to Chris Webber for being man that he was then. Like my man said, "I was salty as hell" too when they lost.
Let’s gooooo this ones got me more than hyped
