<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chris Webber has been back for two games and has played for more than 30 minutes in each, but is still frustrated.

"I don't know what's going on,'' Webber said, his voice a whisper. "I'm searching for [answers]. I'm staying up all night thinking about it. I don't even know who I am anymore, and I think a lot of us feel that way.

"I've really never been in a situation like this before; the best thing to do is stay consistent as far as your effort and positive thinking. You just have to think you can change your destiny [through] your mind. Hopefully, the circumstances will change if you stick to it. This is incredible right here.

"This is frustrating for everybody. I know it's frustrating for our fans. You can double that or triple that, times that by about 10, that's how we're feeling.''</div>
Dalembert is confused, C-Webb doesn't know who he is. But I can sort of understand where he's coming from, in a way. But at the end of the day, he has to realize that he is not a star anymore. He is not the guy that is the main focal point on offense anymore. He's aging, he's on a major decline, he needs to learn he has to be a role player now. He has to play within the offense, he can't keep shooting 17 shots (making about 6-7) and expect everyone to think nothing of it.

C-Webb still talks a good game, says he wants to do whatever they want him to, but at the end of the day, he still wants to put him his numbers. He can't do that anymore, he needs to accept the fact that he is not the same player he once was, and he needs to accept his role and play that role.

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

Hey Webber, I can tell you EXACTLY who you are at this point in your career... :brickwall: :ranting: The guy is a cancer to this team. He knows we've tried trading him, but nobody wants that horrific contract of his... if I was Billy King I would just try to buy him out and get rid of him.

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

Yeah Webber just doesn't have the game anymore. The combination of the surgery and his age have taken away his athleticism and he never played intelligently. See Michigan. lol

Mr Webber you are a poor mans version of ..... scabs(scabadine). ahha

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

18/10/4/1/1Every nightI know you guys don't like him. But really, what makes him so bad? He's consistent, he still puts up numbers, and he gives you an inside presence that can stretch the defense. What is it that makes him so unliked or considered bad?

I asked the same questions about 2 weeks ago - then I watched a few games- he is really hurting the sixers!

Doesn't stretch the defense when he shoots 30%... his man doesn't even guard him any more and he still can't make the shot.Plus, he's a cancer.He does need to retire, or just get the hell out of Philadelphia. I'd seriously be happy paying him $20 million to sit at home. That's how horrible he has been.

He doesn't play defense, He takes too many jump shots, He shoots a HORRIBLE field goal percentage. He takes just as many shots as he did when he was an all-star.

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

Webber needs to keep his mouth shut and stop talking to the media. Keep it to yourself and deal with it.

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

I love CWebb, always have and always will... I still think he's a pretty decent player, or has the capacity to be anyway... I think he needs to get the F*ck off the Sixers, and onto a team that'll appreciate him more, and allow him to do his thing and hopefully with a better record/morale, his stats will improve.

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

Pacer fan, you have already been talked to about ignoring his stats while people have told you his major flaws, but there is one thing that nobody mentioned in your post that I found somewhat troubling:

Chris Webber is consistant? Whoa, how do you figure?

 

Re: Webber: "I don't even know who I am anymore."

For the amount that CWebb makes, he's probably a top 5 worst player in the L<span style="color:#FF0000">EDIT by CB32: Come on S2S, no need for that.</span>

He plays lazy, and gives up on defense. The reason he is not getting as much playing time as he used to have is because he doesn't play good defense. He is just a cancer and is quite aggitating for this franchise.

No he shouldn't. Webber hurts the team more than helps it when he's out on the floor. He doesn't play down low, so I'd rather have Willie Green or Rodney Carney taking those 17 foot jumpers. He tries to dominate the ball still, resulting in either a bad shot or a turnover. He still tries to do all those behind the back passes, only 2 of 5 really are right on the money. We have all mentioned that he's a major defensive liability.

And have the 6'4" Willie Green or 6'7" Rodney Carney covering power forwards? Webber is the best big man the Sixers have. And heres a news flash. Most of the points scored in the league now a days are jumpers. And how can you even begin to guess on how many behind the back passes he completes? Thats a total guess and an idiotic statement. Im sure the following posters will agree with that. He averages 1 1/2 turnovers per game. Look how many he's averaged the other part of his career and you tell me how bad that is. And you wanna talk about dominating the ball? The Sixers start two point guards in Allen Iverson and Kevin Ollie, no one else on the team has a chance to dominate the ball. Webber is averaging the least amount of minutes of his career, and now people are saying now more than ever that CWebb sucks. The only reason he's not playing as much is because the team is looking in other directions, and Webber is going to be gone soon. Try posting some stuff that makes sense.</span></span>
