Chris Webber was a prototypical power forward who was powerful in every sense of the word. He was a strong college player for the Michigan Wolverines and it was strange to me that the Golden State Warriors traded him within a year of drafting him. Rumor has it that the Warriors coach wanted Webber to play center for some reason. I agree with Webber: he is a power forward and not a center. Webber then requested a trade and continued to cement himself as one of the greatest power forwards the NBA has ever seen. Something to remember before you want the small ball playing strategy on every team. 2/10/2025
