Guiseppe Part 2?
I agree. He wasn't the one who blew the free throws that would have eliminated Utah in 99 (that was Divac). He can hardly be blamed for losing in 2000 and 2001 to Lakers teams who were far superior. I don't know how Webber gets all the instead of Vlade for choking. Divac blew the Utah series, tapped the ball out to Horry, and then his dumbass fouled out in game 7 when the Kings needed him the most. The timeout was ridiculous, but that wasn't NBA and I'm not counting it.

Fine Thread.
Webber was a 1st-half superstar in the playoffs, and too often went AWOL when needed most.
I think Peja deservedly so, took the most blame. In terms of Webber it dropped him from Elite PF of his time to just another franchise player
I honestly think he will get into the NBA Hall of Fame. Easiest HOF of the major sports....NBA will put into consideration his college career & more importantly: impact on the game in the 90's, commercializing
I'm glad we all agree on the MVP of the 2011 Giants
Webber's stats also dropped from the regular season to the playoffs during those Kings years. Great players elevate their games then.
Nobody in the history of the internets has been more butthurt than you over a single event...it's pretty much a certainty that you're one of the people who sent him death threats
You seriously need to find a detachment from the sports world or you're going to end up doing irreparable harm to yourself and your loved ones.

His PPG did not go down except for final playoff year with Kings. Boards also stayed at double digits.
Peja was the guy that went from 20 per game in the regular season to 14 then 23 then 17 and finally 22 in 4 straight playoffs. So too inconsistent
Webber was the only matchup the Lakers couldn't deal with. He made up for his teams major disadvantage in talent compared to Lakers

Never said he was any kind of postseason assassin, but he's not Karl Malone blowing a bunch of free throws at the end of game 7 in Seattle, getting the ball stripped when a le was in his hands in game 6 vs Chicago, or scoring 8 points in elimination games two seasons in a row vs Portland.
So he averaged 25 & 10.5 in the playoffs for 4+ seasons98-99: 20.0ppg, 13rpg. Playoffs: 14.8ppg, 9.4rpg

Care to explain why you're a liar, first?
Fair enough, Malone aggressively choked, Webber passively choked
It remained consistently between 23 & 27. That's two extra shots a gameCare to explain why you're a liar, first?
Probably not the biggest disappointment but I always thought Jim Jackson couldve been much better. Mustve had an at ude problem cause I always remember him struggling to find a team to sign him but always performed well for the teams that took that chance. That love triangle ordeal with Kidd mustve stuck with him or something.
Also Bonzi Wells, still remember that Kings-Spurs series were he went ape . Always seemed unmotivated and out of shape though unfortunately.
Boris Diaw
Gotta go with Marbury...or Sprewell.
Shaq
Shaq. Should've been a top 3 player all-time. Gaining 50 lbs in the offseason and rapping was too important.
I always thought Darko Milicic had the tools to be a DPOY All-Star player.
You beat me to it. I was really surprised that nobody has mentioned him so far. He could have been a top 3 player easily if he weren't such a lazy fat ass. HE was so dominating in his prime, just unreal. But well, as resistanze wrote, eating too many burgers in the offseason and rapping was probably more important...
