Kings legend Chris Webber was one of 13 individuals named Friday as finalists to be considered for election into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The finalists were named during All-Star Weekend festivities.
Webber, a five-time NBA All-Star and the 1994 NBA Rookie of the Year, enjoyed the best years of his career while playing for the Kings from 1998 to 2005, leading the team to seven of its eight consecutive playoff appearances during that era. Webber averaged 24.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 2001-02, when the Kings reached the Western Conference finals before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games.
