I never liked Webber, and I like richmond, but I'll take Webber here. He's in that 20/9/4 category with only elgin, wilt, cunningham, kg, and Bird. He was the best player on some awesome Kings teams.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

Webber was clearly more talented, Richmond was harder working and didn't choke in the clutch, but Webber led his teams to much better records and had better numbers too
(and yet Wes Unseld traded prime Webber for past prime Richmond AND took on Otis Thorpe's bad contract too . . . sigh).

Neither did Webber.

When did C-Webb ever choke? The only time he missed a game winner was Game 7 versus the T-Wolves in the W semi's I believe in 03. He missed a 27 foot three pointer that almost went in as time expired. That's not what I consider 'choking'.penbeast0 wrote:Webber was clearly more talented, Richmond was harder working and didn't choke in the clutch, but Webber led his teams to much better records and had better numbers too

I also take C-Webb as good as Mitch was.

Webber, no contest.
Mitch was nice and all but Webber hit the glass, was a dominant passer, comparable at worst as a scorer...
The only thing I can think of that even remotely resembles a pro-Mitch argument is the defensive side of things and Richmond was never Bruce Bowen. Mitch was awesome, of course, but Chris was just something else.
