Good to know the tension continues to fester between Chris Webber and his fellow Fab 5 players from the University of Michigan after all these years.
Jalen Rose took a sharp shot at Webber on Wednesday night after Webber appeared on a radio show earlier in the day, saying Webber was "delusional" about the Fab Five years, according to a report by Rod Beard of the Detroit News.
Webber appeared on the "The Dan Patrick Show" and talked about why he was the only member of the Fab Five that didn't appear in a documentary on the team that was produced by Jalen Rose.
"I love the guys but I think there's so much missed in there. I think it was OK," he said.
"You know what happens — a lot of people, after they retire or when they're looking for a job or when they want to be relevant, they go back in time and make sure their importance is really known."
He explained that he did not appear in the documentary because he is writing a book.
The News notes that Webber helped the Wolverines to the national-title game in 1992 and '93, and is known for calling a timeout — one that UM didn't have — and Michigan lost the game in 1993.
Rose shot back later Wednesday night on Larry Brown Sports:
"One dude traveled then called timeout. One dude lied to grand jury and hasn't apologized. One dude tried to circumvent the documentary to HBO. One dude ignored multiple requests from everyone involved after agreeing to participate.
"One dude played like (President) Obama and sat in a suite during Michigan's recent title game," Rose continued. "One dude slandered Ed Martin after all he did for him and his family. One dude is not in contact with the other four (which is all good). One dude has been doing a rebuttal doc for four years. One dude clearly is delusional and still in denial."
