"Don't Call it a Comeback!"
Don't call it a comeback because Chris Webber's return to the Golden State Warriors really wasn't that big of a move. For example, when Mariah Carey came back on the scene, she came back with a vengeance. Starting slowly with dance ballad "It's Like That," then stepping up with with the monster love song, "We Belong Together"; she really did come back.
Chris Webber , on the other hand, was fed with a silver (golden) spoon right when he stepped inside of the Oracle Arena. In his pre-party, on February 1, 2008 , the J-Rich Homecoming Game, Chris Webber received a video dedicated to his first years in the Golden State Warriors. The video would be played for the entire arena to "enjoy", but it would receive mixed reactions. The C-Webb dedication video was played side-by-side with Jason Richardson's video dedication, who undoubtedly deserved the honorary moment solo.
I'm not going to go on to re-hash what issues Chris Webber created for the Golden State Warriors' organization, but I'm not going to lie and say that I'm sad that the "Chris Webber Experiment" is over.
In his debut , the game vs. Chicago Bulls, Chris was given the start instead of Al Harrington. If you look at Harrington's stats, he loses some consistency off the bench. I'm not trying to reason Big Al's shortcomings, but Chris Webber surely didn't deserve to be a starter only after a few days of power practices.
His best effort was in the thrilling match-up of the Golden State Warriors vs the Boston Celtics. His defense against Kevin Garnett was exceptional and logged in the most minutes in his second run with the Golden State Warriors.
In the end, it's terrible that Chris Webber was never able to win a championship (even though he had Tyra Banks at her prime) , but we should thank him and wish C-Webb good luck.
I'm sorry, Chris Webber, your heart never was in San Francisco. You left it in Sacramento.
