Chris Webber's Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech

[@kennethhenson8240]

Love how he gave Isiah Thomas and Charles Barkley their respect and how he acknowledged the players who paved the way before him!!!!! Great Speech

[@rxtsec1]

True but all the new inductees have to choose atleast 1 hall of fame member to induct them.

[@johnnyblingg]

@@rxtsec1 Untrue. They can be any player.

[@rxtsec1]

@@johnnyblingg nope it's always been a hall of famer every time I watched it cause they are the ones welcoming them in & from one of the speeches I think Shaq he said he wanted someone else but they were taken that year so apparently it's only 1 per year also for the person welcoming them in but the new hall of famer can have multiple people themselves if no one else wants them. how they decide who get's who I don't know if 2 of them want the same one.

Isiah and Chuck did not see that coming, C Webb was letting emotions flow. What a great speech, giving such props to his peers, I dont remember seeing a player thank his older ones so personally and close to tears. What an amazing speech. C Webb is really one of a kind, this was 100% from the heart. What a legend, such poise, strength and wisdom coming from him. Will go down probably as the best Hof speech in the history of the game simply because of how emotional his messages to Zeke and Chuck were

It sucks he didn't get a ring with Sacramento during the height of his career, may have won it all if it wasn't for the corrupt refs

Such a beautiful, heartfelt speech by Chris Webber. He is very deserving of the Hall of Fame honor.

[@doablefilms9380]

you can tell just by looking at Chris's parents that those are quality people

[@brianbadonde9251]

The bar is already low for their kind, all you have to do is go to work and be a father and you're considered a quality person lol. Things that are the minimum requirements

[@jeremyvanbriesies1940]

Thats absolutely true ...I saw many many clips of Isaiah Thomas ...He has been laughing , he has been crying ... The man was left out of the dream team , but today ( in my view ) he is the real goat above Michael Jordan , because he is not playing in a ' dream team ' , but he is surely the icon and towering hero of the " life team" ....God bless this gentleman that were inducted in the hall of fame ...He is a remarkable young man .. He had the right 2 guys on stage ...Isaiah Thomas and Charles Barkley ...My 2 favourite ex players ...🙏🙏🙏

[@brokl26]

⁠@@jeremyvanbriesies1940Just because you like a player doesn’t indicate he’s a GOAT. Isaiah Thomas wasn’t even the best player in the NBA at any point of his career. Never. He wasn’t even the best point guard at any point. But if he’s simply one of your favorites, that can’t be argued.

[@brokl26]

[@scoopitysports8348]

He looks like he could still play. He looks wayyyyy younger than 48

[@dagameplayer]

I wish he could. Old age truly sucks in the sense that a lot of these guys are still with us and would love to get out there and play some more but can't. It's good to appreciate the time that they did play though.

[@jackson5781]

It's sad that he gets chastised for stupid stuff and it's a game that we all love. We all make mistakes. Love CWEBB was a man at age 19 if you seen how big he was

He put the POWER in power forward at Michigan. Most dominant PF in the country. Everyone today is wearing long basketball shorts and made wearing black sneakers cool because of his Fab Five team.

Prob one of the best HOF bunch. So much inspirations, dedications, hardships and making us aware mental issues with players. Having listen these four gentlemen’s speeches are like going through much in life. Pierce got stabbed and almost die, Bosh’s mental health issues could have easily took him away, Webber was miss interpreted in many ways early in his career and Big Ben from undrafted to HOF through nothing but working tirelessly. These guys are real role model for youngsters these days.
