Nellie was trying to play small ball. Alonzo Mourning was C-Webb's size or smaller and he was a beast at the time.
Different mindsets. Zo had to play the way did, back to the basket, defense getting boards. Chris had a different skillset. He wasnt a center, you can't just make a guy have that center mentality if its not in them.

As a player you should do anything the team asks of you. I've seen Lebron play point guard and power forward. You're supposed to want to run through a wall for your team not cry about being asked to play center and you're 6'10 260.

I think Webber knew what was best for him more than Nelson did. Coaches have these bright ideas that fail all the time. If the man knew he couldnt bang down low, I don't blame. Webb would have got ate at the center position at the time he came in. Seems to have had a very good career at PF :leon: And a good coach works around what his players can do, not try to force a square peg in a round hole.

It shouldn't be about what's best for you. What would be best for Steph Curry would be to play in Charlotte where he could get 30 shots a night and lead the league in scoring but he's not demanding to be traded there.

eh, that's not what we're talking about. If steph was asked to totally change how he's always played, he has a right to say thats not how its going down. Cant just ask webber to change how he plays and he's supposed to be all gung ho about that :childplease:

I don't even think small ball would have worked in that area. Only reason my Heat can get away with that shyt because it's no big men who can really score on the block. Saying you dont want to play Center when your not a center isnt the worst thing in the world.

Dude set my Franchise back 15 years for demanding to be traded. We didn't get anything of value for him. We didn't make the playoffs until the we believe team. That's was over 13 years without a playoff berth.

I know they've been friends for years, but I don't get why Jalen stays talkin about what C. Webb does/doesn't do & what he should/shouldn't do on podcasts/interviews/youtube videos...

Don Nelson tried to make Anthony Mason the focal point of the Knicks offense over Patrick Ewing, the guy is a fukking idiot
With more wins than any coach in NBA history and is in the HOF. Not bad for a guy who can say the best player he ever coached was Chris Mullin.

Jalen said he wasn't going to bring it up but Bill Simmons was with him when it happened and Bill probably would've brought it up.

Why is C-Webb trippin so hard off that timeout? It's justice for the non-call on his traveling violation just seconds before. :heh:

Get over it, bytch nikka.
