Reggie Miller on the other hand, who, unlike Chris, continued to pop off about the situation – even going as far as calling Mayor Johnson a liar and saying he had to spin the situation – deserves much more criticism than Webber who simply seemed genuinely confused. That’s not meant as an excuse for CWebb – sure, in a perfect world, we’d have hoped he had as much knowledge of the scenario as we obsessed fans do – but for somebody who works across country, who’s told the vote was “shot down” and leads as busy a life as Webber – the mistake, while incredibly ill-timed given the national exposure, is acceptable. Of course, Miller (and her brother Reggie Miller) along with Webber were all confused by this terminology and all went on to talk about the vote in a light that was negative for the Kings, something it clearly wasn’t as the 5-4 vote helped keep the Kings destiny in Sacramento.įor Webber, he clearly seemed confused and simply misinformed. The scenario started during TNT’s national broadcast of the Black Thursday game in which Cheryl Miller interviewed Mayor Kevin Johnson about the past week’s Sacramento City Council vote, which despite being “voted down” – actually meant it was in the Kings favor. Though, few outside of Webber continued to have such a strained relationship with Napear.įor those that missed the call, you can listen to it here and form your own opinions of the mishap, but for me? Despite his misinformation on the subject, Chris Webber wasn’t wrong for what he did during the call-in, at all.

Napear, know for his loud mouth split personality on radio as opposed to his company man persona on TV had some brash views on Webber after the trade, though, that seemingly became a trend after players from the glory years began to depart. Grant Napear and Chris Webber have had a rocky relationship for quite some time – which in my humble opinion, was started after Webber was traded to Philadelphia in 2005. After Friday afternoon’s radio show call-in by Webber, they might have trouble being in the same room again.
Before Friday afternoon, former Kings icon Chris Webber and TV play-by-play man/radio host Grant Napear never would have been confused for being best friends.
