Chris Webber was one of the most dominant and talented players of his generation. He averaged 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game on 47.9% shooting throughout his 15-year career in the NBA. However, basketball fans on Twitter just can’t stand it anymore.
Webber’s basketball skills haven’t exactly translated to the booth. He’s been an NBA analyst and commentator since retiring from the league in 2008 but he’s far from being a fan favorite and that’s not likely to change any time soon.
The big man has become infamous for constantly drifting, mixing names, words, phrases, and talking non-stop every time he’s called to broadcast a game. It’s reached a point where he’s constantly a trending-topic at Twitter.
NBA Twitter Blasts Chris Webber
Needless to say, the Game 4 clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers had plenty of viewers from all over the world but apparently, none of them enjoyed Chris Webber’s input about the game.
The former Sacramento King was back at his usual antics and exasperating digress. He couldn’t keep his never-ending stories and unusual catch-phrasesto himself and NBA Twitter lost it. Some even claimed that they would rather watch the game in mute instead of listening to C-Webb for another second.
He started talking about LeBron Jamesbeing a black man, he can’t compartmentalize butmust compartmentalize after knocking down a deep three-pointer. No one truly understood what he wanted to say, as per usual. That’s when most people just couldn’t stand it anymore and started mocking Webber.
Ok, we get it, it’s impossible to please everybody in the show business, especially when it comes to sports. But NBA Twitter’s despise for Chris Webber is reaching all-time highs every time he’s in charge of a game. The internet is merciless and once again, undefeated.
