Chris Webber is coming home. He cleared waivers about an hour ago and will sign with
the Detroit Pistons. C-Webb grew up in the Detroit area. He went to Detroit
Country Day, where he led them to the MHSAA championships 3 times. He then went
to the University of Michigan and became part of the Fab Five. The Fab Five were
five freshman who were all put in the starting line-up in their first year.
The members were: Ray Jackson, Jimmy King, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, and Webber.
The only member who did not make it to the NBA was Ray Jackson, who ended up
playing the the CBA. Chris Webber was cheered at the Palace of Auburn Hills when
he showed up yesterday in the Pistons loss. Webber was booed whenever he came
to the Palace before, most likely because of "The Time-out" or because he accepted
money from a booster eliminating Michigan's stats during his tenure.
C-Webb will play on the same starting lineup as Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups,
Rip Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince. Currently, the Detroit Pistons have the
second best record in the Eastern Conference about halfway through the year.
Details have not yet been realeased on the condition of the deal. |
