Why we're doing a Chris Webber Appreciation Week

What would you do to get a superstar?

Genuine NBA superstars are the rarest commodities in all of sports, and franchises have shown time and time again they'll do whatever it takes to get one. Teams surrender years of competitiveness for a shot at drafting the next prodigy. Cities litter their buildings and billboards with signs to convince free agents they'll do whatever it takes to make them feel loved and appreciated in their town. Fellow players will sacrifice minutes, prestige and even salary to convince superstars to join their team. In a league where the best of the best are impossible to overpay, it's also impossible to criticize a team that goes for bust chasing someone who can lead a team to a title.
