Chris Webber had an amazing basketball career and was recently named to the latest class of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. But the Michigan native only played part of one year in the NBA for his hometown Detroit Pistons.

Although it was a very exciting half a season, as he took on LeBron James.

If the NBA still had its old territorial rights rule, Webber might never have left the state of Michigan.
