Chris Webber's beef with Don Nelson was a power struggle that ruined the Warriors

In 1993 Don Nelson and the Warriors put all their eggs in the Chris Webber basket. They gave up three first round picks to get him, and then loaded his contract with incentives including an opt-out clause.
Nelson desperately needed a center, and he could make Webber play center. Did Webber want to play center for the Warriors? Well, no. But, c’mon, you had an outstanding, strong-willed player, and an outstanding, strong-willed coach teaming up! What could possibly go wrong? Egos colliding in an irreversible explosion with ramifications that lasted for years? Yep. You guessed it. If this beef were on a menu, it’d have three chili peppers next to it.

D'Antoni gets all the credit, but small ball doesn't happen without Nellie......

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Nellie was ahead of his time, but the NBA in his era was mostly based on centers and Winning with TallBall. Smallball back then was a gimmick and the NBA was basically a big man/front court league

[@ShengYu1995]

Nellie never found success. The warriors were 7th seed at best during those years. He didnt revolutionalize anything. D'Antoni actually lead his teams from lottery to #1 seed. Thats diff impact

[@superintelligentapefromthe121]

@@ShengYu1995 Nellie also coached the Bucks and the Mavs, who were both successful.

[@georgewagner2352]

Small ball started with Red Auerbach, who Nellie played for. Russell was not a back to the basket center. EVERY SINGLE other center in the league was. Russell was not even the third option on offense. EVERY SINGLE other center in the league was the first or second option. Red and Russell let Sam Jones, Cousy, Havlicek, Nellie, Ramsey, and Heinsohn do all the scoring, and mostly from the perimeter. Yes, Nellie, D'Antoni and others expanded on it and of course today that' all they do. Red and Nellie used it to be different and because other teams weren’t used to defending it. Today it’s used because the centers (actually all the players) are SOFT and have zero post up skills, also because almost every player in the league just wants to shoot threes all game. It’s not original, creative or hard to defend because every team in the league is doing it. It's boring and unimaginative. In addition, due to the lack of physical defense, all small players can thrive now.

His comment about “if you’re getting raped, you might as well lay back and enjoy it” should have gotten him fired on the spot. IU tolerated his BS because he was still hanging National Championship and Big Ten Championship banners and he had a cult-like following in the state of Indiana.

God damnit sff, stop flailing about. You aren't playing in a sandbox you are just rolling about in a pile of your own turds with your eyes closed

Well it still better then drafting Bradley:-)

[@blancovich]

Really awesome thanks!!! This article displayed Weber’s side of the story much better than what was said at the time. I still think he made a HORRIBLE mistake by leaving Golden State (but that is just my very humble opinion). I see him this day (as a commentator) and feel some frustration for all that could have been and was not…

[@alexanderwright8275]

my high school coach got really made at us when we would put our hands on our knees to catch our breath because it's bad for airflow or whatever. Apparently that is what Webber did all the time and our coach would tell us to quite doing the chris webber and would make us run more if we did

Narrated by Smurfette....

What would have happened if they chose Webber over nelly?

[@GTR24]

we would have missed out on that beautiful King's basketball

Crazy how many careers come full circle.

What is the song at the beginning of the video?

I love having sports history told to me by Bart Simpson

She is awesome, but now I hear it too

You can practically hear her have an evil smile at 5:12

Do a rewinder for either “the drive” in 1984 or “the fumble” in 1985!!

[@SlowVillageBand]

please do one with rodman versus david stern

[@ItsDraag]

I do miss Seth doing this but great video

[@oliverdennis3115]

I just saw a hornets fan in the comments, I’m so sorry for the existence of your relationship with the Charlotte Hornets.

[@1neOfN0ne]

I really hope you one day make a beef history with Ben Simmons and Jump Shots. Cause here in Philly, we've been ripping our hair out for years trying to understand why and/or how those two have been avoiding each other on the court for this long

[@dynad00d15]

For a moment, i had to check the title again because Webber's story sounded like PK Subban.. lol

[@Yutbr800]

Nelson killed it. The Dubs would have made noise if Webber would have stayed. We had a squad. PF-Webber SF- Sprewell SG-Mullin PG-Hardaway

[@buckwildboys1]

Chris Webber is the most frustrating talent I've ever seen in the NBa well Joel Embiid is giving him a run for his money now

[@odizza1688]

Do a beef history of Nick Anderson vs Free Throws

[@dagoon7206]

More NBA content !!!

[@bruinsfan808]

You all should rewind the Men's 4x100 Freestyle Relay from the 2008 Olympics. One of the biggest comebacks ever.

Id love to see that
