The best kind of reunion comes after pain. And if Chris Webber follows through on his commitment to serve as an honorary football captain this fall in Ann Arbor, he'll arrive with more than a few wounds.

Some self-inflicted. Some not.

What matters is that he's finally ready to come back, ready to let those wounds turn into scars, even as he says more healing needs to be done.

You can hear it in his words these days, in the interviews he's given to promote his movie, "Uncle Drew," in the way he talks about an upcoming book and documentary.
