Damn :smh:


Yesterday Chris Webber went on Dan Patrick’s radio show and was asked about the (Fab Five) 30 for 30 and his relationship with the Fab Five. He had some extremely unflattering things to say about one unnamed member of the group, but is clearly referring to Jalen Rose.

Webber:

Webber notably did not participate in the documentary, and he says that is because he was insulted that they only approached him at the last minute when they were almost done filming.

“The reason why I didn’t do the documentary is because I got a call. There were negotiations going on in different places. I guess someone promised that I could be in the doc. Because they knew I probably wouldn’t, they called and said, ‘hey, we want you to be in the doc.’ I said, ‘heck yeah I’ll be in the doc. What’s going on?’ He says, ‘we’re wrapping up next week, we need to get you.’ I’m like, I’m not saying I was John Lennon, but my story’s pretty big in there.”

Webber says he has been working on a book for five years that will tell his story and said, “I hope that I can give full context to my story.

“I wasn’t too thrilled with [the documentary]. I’m a big fan of 30 for 30s. I can’t complain or be upset about it.”

Though Webber says he was only approached a week before filming wrapped, fellow Fab Five member Jimmy King disputes Webber’s recollection of events.

“That’s a flat-out lie,” King said. “There is no way we would have done this production — I’m going to tell you exactly how it went down. When it was proposed, it was sent out over email to all of us.”

The other members of the group were in the documentary, so maybe there is something to what King says.

Patrick came out and straight up asked C-Webb whether he liked the documentary.

“I love the guys, but I just think there was so much missed there,” Webber said. “I think it was OK, except … I think it was … it looked like … it looked like, you know, what happens, a lot of people, after they retire or when they’re looking for a job or when they want to be relevant, they go back in time and kind of make sure their importance is really known.

“My thing is it’s always been about us five. So when one guy has a million highlights of himself, as if he was the leading scorer and all the stories are like embellished, it’s just a little hard for me. But I think it was entertaining, there was a lot of truth in it. I think it was definitely good, it was OK. Yeah, it was good.”

Webber just seems to be upset that someone else (ahem, Rose) took the liberty of making a film about the group. Webber talked about a code they had with the Fab Five and seems to feel it was broken.

“I made an agreement when I joined the Fab Five not to be above the group. There was a chance to be above the group. I have stated consistently as a member nobody is above another. It’s just disheartening when you pay attention to those rules for 20-plus years and somebody wants to be ‘Hollywood’ and make it about them,” Webber told Patrick, seemingly taking a shot at Rose.

“To hear people now … just to be famous. No one ever loved the Fab Five. So why would you use us to tell stories to get that fake love now? Our whole heart was in not being loved. … I was disheartened by whatever someone is trying to create our legacy. Don’t try to go back and act like you were smart and a martyr, don’t do that. Just tell the story and let people have fun.”

Later in the day Jalen Rose responds:

“One dude traveled then called timeout. One dude lied to grand jury and hasn’t apologized. One dude tried to circumvent the documentary to HBO. One dude ignored multiple requests from everyone involved after agreeing to participate. One dude played like (President) Obama and sat in a suite during Michigan’s recent title game. One dude slandered Ed Martin after all he did for him and his family. One dude is not in contact with the other four (which is all good). One dude has been doing a rebuttal doc for four years. One dude clearly is delusional and still in denial,” Rose said of Webber in messages to Larry Brown Sports.

“Congrats on your amazing success! Respect had no price. Man up.”

^^^ Damn, ether. I heard Webber's interview with DP. Was wondering if Jalen would respond. He sure did.

I think it's like jalen said in one podcast or some place else..

webber is trying to distance himself from something horrific that happened to him.. and instead of just being upfront about that and saying he wants nothing to do with it and it's in the past and wants to move on (hire a publicist who explicitly tells anyone anytime he makes an appearance not to address it)

but now I guess he's trying save face

Oh man...if Jalen/C-Webb end up crossing paths at some point :smh:

Whether he's really in the wrong or not, if I'm Webber, I would seriously think of immediately swinging on Jalen if I saw him based on the stuff he said yesterday.
