After entering the league, Webber, like Nike, was steadily declining.
In Orlando, he was considered trash by Shaq.
In Chicago, he was labeled a super trash by Michael Jordan.
In Detroit, he was deemed a burden to Grant Hill.
If you think Webber only performed poorly on the court, you're underestimating him. He also caused quite a stir off the court.
The most iconic moment came when he was caught racing with the police on the highway in a real-life version of GTA, after which he casually said, "Officer, if I get a ticket, this city will lose a truly good man."
This was Chris Webber before 2001, his only positive trait possibly being that he at least played despite getting paid.
Logically, Nike would never have any further dealings with someone like Webber.
But Nike's "expansion plan" and Webber's transformation this season brought them back together.
In the previous few seasons in Sacramento, Webber improved slightly.
