Gotta love Webber's hustle trying to get the rebound b/f Bob's shot.

Chris Webber + Gary Payon = Epic entertainment

:biggrin: hehe it's funny because I go on pro boards and some like to hate on them because it can get pretty wild at times. But to me those guys are hilarious. I hope they bring them back for nbatv fan night next season. I remember coming home late drunk and what not at times this season..those guys would be on and have me cracking up! Payton doesn't think twice about ripping a guy.

Hahaha, they rip on like half of their guests. The Glove and Webber even found a way to get the hood out of Ahmad. How the hell David Stern allows this to continue is beyond me, but I love it. Half the time GP just screams and makes awkward noises while going over the highlights.

Still a douche...

Jalen Rose says Chris Webber needs to apologize over Michigan bad blood

There's a lot of bad blood between Chris Webber and the other members of the "Fab Five," his super-recruit college teammates at Michigan. There are several complicated elements, but it reached the point where Webber didn't even speak to Rose when he saw him during the NBA Finals, and Rose has publicly pushed for Webber to bury the hatchet after an NCAA-imposed ban on his association with the school ended last year.

But Rose is taking it a step further, saying Webber owes him and his former teammates an apology for how things have gone down. From HoopsHype:

How do you feel about the new Fab Five documentary Chris Webber is going to do?

JR: It's not a legitimate documentary if the other four guys don't participate.

Nobody asked you to participate?

JR: I haven't heard anything about it except from the media. And the other four of us, when you look at the national championship game, we're together. When you watch my Fab Five documentary, we're together. So about his project coming, best of love and can't wait to see what happens.

When was the last time you spoke with Chris Webber?

JR: I heard through mutual friends that he's upset that I said that I feel like he should have come out and apologize for some transgressions that happened at the University of Michigan. But I still stand behind that. Also I'm disappointed how the relationship with [Michigan booster] Ed Martin ended. Ed, unfortunately, in my opinion basically died of a broken heart. So while we're still brothers and I hope that we're going to make amends ... One of the great things of being teammates and friends is we should be able to speak openly and honestly. And hopefully he finds a way to realize and apologize about what happened in Michigan. It ain't just about you. It's about the players, it's about the coach. Steve Fisher coached in three finals and won a championship in Michigan. You go in that campus, his name is nowhere. So it's bigger than just him. And the fans deserve it, the history of the University of Michigan deserves it. And all he had to do is say two words. It's not brain surgery. They are 'I'm sorry.'

I give Webber some credit here, quite the entrepreneur:

Michigan Fab Five's Chris Webber to bring a $175M cannabis 'compound' to southwest Detroit

Former Michigan basketball and NBA star and Detroit native Chris Webber is planning to open a cannabis "compound" in southwest Detroit, which will include a marijuana operations and training facility, a cultivation facility, a dispensary and a cannabis consumption lounge.

Webber broke ground Tuesday on the 180,000-square-foot, $50 million facility, which will be called the Webber Wellness Compound. The compound is owned by Players Only Holdings, a business co-founded by Webber and entrepreneur Lavetta Willis.

The cultivation will eventually be expanded by 80,000 square feet, representing a $125 million investment. The first phase is set to be completed in March 2022. There's no timeline on the phase two expansion.
