Webber and Rose had a long-running feud but that all seems to be over now, which is awesome. The two also played together when they were 13 years old. Webber went on ESPN to talk about this huge moment and he was able to share some time and stories with his former Michigan teammate, Jalen Rose. Webber's problem was Jalen publicly throwing Webber under the bus about it and not having his childhood friend's back.Chris Webber got some life-changing news on Sunday when it was announced that he will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the 2021 class in a ceremony that will be held this September. Jalen's problem was that Webber didn't look after Ed Martin because of all he had done for them he wasn't just some rich guy giving them money, he was a family friend forever. Webber then essentially snitched on Ed Martin (at least in Jalen's eyes.) Webber lied about it, denying it, then got caught and was charged with lying to a grand jury and came clean about their relationship. When that info came to light, that Webber was accepting money from him, Michigan faced penalties from the NCAA, the record books expunged of the Fab 5, and Webber banned from the university. Took care of them and their families and because of his relationship with Michigan, I'm sure it played a factor in them going there. Ed Martin essentially looked after them both since they were kids. However, Ed Martin wasn't a traditional booster in the sense of I'll give you money, you go to this school in exchange. That's obviously a big no no for the NCAA. Going off memory because it's been so long.Ĭhris Webber accepted money from a Michigan booster named Ed Martin. I don't post this as an indictment, I think it's just down to a misreading of the situation by ESPN and Jalen but just that it's interesting to hear Whether this was the status then or not, Webber probably just would've wanted that to be a private conversation and not put their relationship in the public eye again. They probably just wanted to surprise him and have a nice moment.Īlthough Webber may not have appreciated it, he follows up in the next question saying him and Jalen are cool now and talk semi regularly. Jalen probably thought they were cool now and everything was good. It's not like ESPN did it without talking to Jalen first. Kinda rough situation however I will say it's not like they were maliciously setting him up or anything. Maria, ESPN - they're great, but you know, for me it was just trying to figure out what was going on.

But that moment for me, it was an honor that my boy is on TV doing this thing. And when we do, it'll probably be all good. But I'm sorry to keep busting the world's bubble, we haven't spoken yet. And we will do that because hopefully he'll come to the thing and we're gonna get together. So my father would not be happy with me talking to you right now in front of everybody without going into a room first. You know what I'm saying? My father raised me. So that's not the way to do it, to interview me on camera and not go into a room. Like, things don't get repaired without talking. I mean, I talk to his family, his sister, you know, all the time. ' and then I hear, 'What up?' And it was. So they kept saying, 'Here comes, Maria. Webber: ESPN didn't tell me was going to interview me.
