1. I would not call his career tragic. What about you cheryl thompson; i bet your career is better than his and you make more money than him right. I dont think so.

And by the way, do not ever count out a Black man like him.

2. God bless you Chris. You've got a great game and had a great career. Keep getting that money playa.

3. Maybe he'll become a coach for an NBA team, College team, or high school basketball team. I'm sure he has enough skills to do that.

6. Believe it or not, Chris Webber has the business savvy as well as clout to indulge in oppurtunities to own a team. He will not stay out of basketball long. In Detroit he learned and studied from Executive and former NBA 2 time Champion (as well as a championship as an Exec) Joe Dumars.
Look for Chris to be in negotiations soon as the season is over with.

7. I watched you from the early days of the Fab 5. You played good, but your head got big as your game. You kept the good game going, but just like most of you ballers, you play the women like you play the ball. I wish you players learned how to behave like men with character and play ball and stopped being players with the women and treat them with more respect. I sure hope you don't have a daughter, cause what goes around comes around.

8. Hello Chris Webber, you do not know me but I have followed your College career as well as in NBA. The Lord has greatly blessed you for these many years and he will keep blessing you, just as long as you give Him his rightful place within your heart and life. I had to call it quits coming from High School as I played alone with another NBA great as your self, Mr. James Worthy. I turned down all basketball Scholarships and went into the Gospel Ministry as the Lord had a call on my wife Been during that since then alone with having a few businesses alone the way. Presently the own of Pratt's Professional Video Production Co. Check our site out and if we can evere be of help to you just look us up and if you see James Worthy tell him his old High School team mate Charles Pratt said hello. Later Chris and keep us the Good Work and may the Lord bless you even more.

9. Chris Webber has been truly blessed. I wish him well in all of his future endeavors.

13. Chris Weber is a bum! all though rich and have good taste in women (Tyra) he can't keep. He's a bum! but that's ok, because Bitter Brotha is broke! however I'm not a bum. An Tyra Ms. banks would have never left Bitter Brotha; damn it!

14. I for one loved the combination of Iverson and Webber.

mommie at 10:57PM on Apr 13th 2008

15. Chris, it's your life, live it like there is no tomorrow. No matter what anyone else has to say, it's your life and you are the one who has to live with every decision you make. Please do not leave GOD out of your everyday walk and especially decisions that are vital.
Take Care!
