I really don't see a problem with what Webber was saying. It really was stupid of Kahn to compare Darko to C-Webb, who was pretty much a 20-10 machine right out of college.
He just asked what Kahn saw in Darko to give him that contract, and then Kahn just starts talking nonsense about him being the best-passing big man, etc. The guy has no clue.
Yes but sometimes it is best to keep your mouth shut and go along with it. Webber's never had a sense of that ever.
Why should he keep his mouth shut? I hate boring "yes" men commentators who eat up anything anyone says. If you make a statement like that you should be called out, especially if you're being paid to evaluate basketball talent.
There's a reason people like Barkley. Even if he isn't right or even sensical, he has opinions and that's interesting. Weber is the same, and usually more sound with his logic. I'm a fan.
Did you watch NBA TV when C-Webb and Gary Payton worked together?
That was a little much, but mainly because Gary Payton was not good on TV. Entertaining, but a bit much. Again, I love opionated guys but you can't have everyone on your broadcast team be that kind of guy.
And he isn't paid to be polite. He wasn't really rude either. Anyone who is a basketball mind and a player would probably have about the same tone and ask the same questions. I mean he made it a little confrontational right off the bat, but imagine Barkley in that situation? I like it personally, a lot of people want to ask Kahn these questions so good on C-Webb, who is one of the only people who will probably be given the chance, to ask the real questions people want to hear. He shouldn't be there to make a puff piece for David Kahn and the T-Wolves.
