The Kings retired Chris Webber's # 4
last night. Congrats, C-Webb. It must
be special to see your jersey up there.
Even if it's "only" in Sacto. Link below:

And all of the sudden the C's multitude of retired numbers doesn't seem so excessive anymore. 

Ah, the glory days of C-Webb, with the one trip to the Conference Finals in 2002 and all those losses in the Conference Semi-Finals.

You could say the exact same thing about Kevin Garnett before he came to Boston.

Chris Webber had his flaws, but he could play.

Thanks, Fafnir. Well spoken. TP.

Webber could play and if you look at the 24 years they've been in Sacremento, only he and Richmond deserve the honour.

Historically for the franchise, you can throw in Robertson, Lucas, Twyman, Stokes and Archibald.

In his honor, the Kings should get an additional timeout in their next game.   ;D

They were a fun team at their peak and Webber was the centerpiece.

I thought the 2002 Kings' team with Webber as their best player, could have won the NBA finals.

Congrats to CWebb. He deserved it, he has had a great career. From college to the pros.
PHX Suns: Russell Westbrook, Chris Bosh, Tristan Thompson, Trevor Ariza, Tony Allen, Trey Lyles, Corey Brewer, Larry Nance Jr., Trey Burke, Troy Daniels, Joffrey Lauvergne, Justin Holiday, Mike Muscala, 14.6

LOL, that was one of the best!
