There have been countless stars in the history of the NBA. They each had different careers. Some of them have become representatives of an era, while some players have consistently good statistics, but they have always failed to become popular stars. Chris Webber is such a player. Chris Webber was the No. 1 pick in 1993. He won the Rookie of the Year honor in his rookie season. His competitive ability throughout his career has been very good, but his popularity is far less than that of popular stars. There is a question in Webber's career, that is, the Warriors who went through great troubles to get Webber left the team in the second year. Many people do not know the inside story.
Webber was the No. 1 pick in 1993.
Webber was selected by the Magic with the No. 1 pick. Webber had a very big advantage in the draft that year. He had comprehensive abilities and balanced offense and defense. A very good power forward and a player to build a team around. But the Magic owned O'Neal at the time, so they directly traded Webber. The Warriors paid Hardaway and three first-round picks to get Webber.
And entrusted Weber with an important task and signed a 15-year super contract worth 74 million. Webber did not refuse such a contract. An important point is that he has a player option in the second year. He can choose to continue playing for the Warriors or choose to leave the team.
In his rookie season with the Warriors, Webber performed very well, leading the team to sixth place in the Western Conference and winning 50 games. Webber himself was also able to average 17.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. The perfect data of 2.2 blocks, the offensive and defensive integration is very similar to the later Wolf King Garnett.
It seemed like a good situation, but Webber suddenly changed his mind. He exercised the player option in the second year and chose to leave the team. The reason was that Webber had a disagreement with the coach and was unhappy with the team. . So Webber joined the Wizards and got together with his former friend Juwan Howard.
