CHRIS WEBBER

SCROLL DOWN

Chris Webber is widely known as one of the best and most influential players in basketball history. While most people recall the teenage member from the historic Fab Five at Michigan, it was there that baggy shorts and black socks sparked a cultural revolution and legacy that was to be remembered forever. Experience the legendary journey and purchase your copy of By God's Grace.

Before he was a basketball legend, Chris Webber grew up in a small house in west Detroit as the eldest of five children. His father worked making cars at a GM plant and his mother was a teacher. Webber loved music but hated to sing in the church choir; he loved to read but always wanted to play outside. The Webber house was full of books, records, and musical instruments, and Chris’ childhood bedroom walls were lined with NBA posters where he would fist-bump a Dominque Wilkins photo every morning before school. Webber started keeping a journal when he was a kid, and his first entries detailed his first crush on a girl who wore a bun in her hair. He’s maintained a journal ever since, from when he was a member of the Fab Five to becoming an NBA star, a father, and ultimately, the author of his first book.

I knew from an early age, from adults, dealing with recruitment, I felt the world was bitter and its goal was to steal your soul. Once I started feeling that way, prayer really helped.
