Chris Webber set to retire
Posted by pistonsnation
ESPN: Time is apparently up on Chris Webber’s basketball career.Sources close to Webber told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the 35-year-old has decided to retire from the game and end his comeback with the Golden State Warriors after more problems with a surgically repaired left knee that has plagued him for the past half-decade.
He’ll probably never get the recognition he deserves as one of the games best big men in recent memory. It’s too bad things didn’t work out better for C-Webb here, it would have made for a much better ending to his career than him joining a Warriors team that had no more to offer him than some cheesy full circle articles.
Good luck Chris and thanks for the memories.

I always hoped that CWebb would get a ring. He seemed like a good guy and a really good player. He was great in SAC. The Kings should have won the whole thing in ‘02. Period. Maybe I feel sorry for him a little for his knee problems causing his game playing to go down hill.
