The Sacramento Kings, came calling. It was the Kings that brought the best out of the forward. Arguably in his peak, Webber made 4 All-Star appearances and even had 4 All-NBA selections to his name. While his peak didn’t last that long, Webber ended his career with averages of 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
Despite having an incredible 16-year career, Webber didn’t get the nod for the Hall of Fame for a long time. Given his incredible achievements and the career he had, this 2021 Hall of Fame induction is perhaps the most deserved.
