Just Puked,

Did you really just compare Webber to J.R. and D.C.? That’s cold, man.

You don’t have to win a ring to get in the HOF.

’93 Final -vs- Carolina

Why is your 4 taking the ball up against pressure?
CW was afraid that someone else would take the last
shot and he would not be the man. His baby sitter
coach gave in to him. Fab 5 had so much more talent
than Carolina.

CW’s most important NBA game, ’02 West Final -vs- Lakers

He scores 2 points in the 2nd half and OT. Gets a T
in the 4th quarter. Throws all his teammates and coaches under the bus afterwards.

Definitely no. I am looking at the following link at “modern day” NBA players that have been selected to the Hall of Fame since 2000. Webber does not measure up to any of them, by far

http://www.hoophall.com/halloffamers/bhof-halloffamers-year.html

Dominique
Barkley
Joe Dumars
Drexler
James Worthy
Rober Parish
Magic Johnson
Moses Malone
Isiah Thomas

The closest Hall of Famer to Webber in terms of achievement are probably Dominique and Barkley.

But Domnique was selected as an All-Star 9 straight times (1986-94) and had unmatched atheletic and scoring ability in his time.

Barkley also took his team to the finals.

Combine this with his Michigan history, Webber is not worthy to be a Hall of Famer.

He bailed, he didn’t give it his all. The warriors looked at him as the center they needed, the inside presence. He probably realized he doesn’t want to grunt with the Shaq, the Bynum, the centers in the west. So he called a timeout.

He bailed on the warriors twice and done it everywhere else. He is a pretty boy who wants to be known as a blue collar guy.

He doesn’t deserve the HOF.

My 2 cents

In a couple years maybe…once the negative impacts on C-Webb will have faded away, he could go up to the Hall of Fame. Till then, no.

I think inducting him, at the very least, merits some kind of consideration. You’d have to take a few years before you come to solid conclusion on Webber’s career. When he was at his best, there were only two PFs I can think of that were better: KG and Duncan (both already Hall-bound). He’s certainly one of the most skilled bigs the game has ever seen. You look at a guy like Grant Hill and you’d also have to ask if he’s worthy of the Hall of Fame. Granted, Hill won a national title, but he too was slowed by injuries. Jason Kidd took his team to the Finals, but were humiliated in that series. Is he a Hall of Famer? By excluding Webber from Hall consideration you’d also be excluding the likes of Elton Brand from getting in unless he won a title. There’s no question he’s made a huge contribution to the basketball and the way it’s played from the high post. I’m not saying he’s a Hall of Famer right now, but C-Webb deserves some consideration in a few years.
