![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So about his project coming, best of love and can't wait to see what happens. When you watch my Fab Five documentary, we're together. And the other four of us, when you look at the national championship game, we're together. JR: I haven't heard anything about it except from the media. JR: It's not a legitimate documentary if the other four guys don't participate. How do you feel about the new Fab Five documentary Chris Webber is going to do? So while I played 13 years in the league, this is my 14th time covering the Finals. This is my 14th consecutive year covering the NBA Finals. They liked it, I started to cover the NBA Finals for them. I did it, it was a good job, I took that footage the next year to The Best Damn Sports Show. Just send the camera, I'll do everything else, get us credentials, everything. So I had a relationship at BET and I pitched them the idea to allow me to cover the NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Nets. In February, they had nine wins, so I said 'Hmmm, I guess we're not going to the playoffs'. Around 2002, I got traded to the Chicago Bulls. JR: Radio and TV was my major in college. ![]() Were you certain that you would end up in the media once your NBA career was over? How about this? When is the last time he played on a team when one guy got a rebound, another guy got an outlet and he's actually able to run the wing? That's what he's going to be able to do in Cleveland. If I had to pick a player that I felt would be the most compatible of any player in the league with LeBron James, it would be Kevin Love. Because Love is one of the best rebounders and scorers and three-point shooters in the league. You've got two guys that have been All-Stars, but never played in the playoffs. You've got one guy who has won four MVPs, two championships, he's one of the best players in the league. How do you think is going to work out in Cleveland with the new Big Three? Can the Golden State Warriors take the next step and become a legitimate Western Conference contending team? While he's become one of the best shooters in the league, the Golden State Warriors are not at the top of the Western Conference. Playing with Kevin Love, now he goes from being the best player of a non-playoff team where he was an All-Star to being on a championship-caliber team. Kyrie Irving, now playing with LeBron James, the stakes are higher for him. And I think Anthony Davis has that chance, being a young player, won a championship in Kentucky, has been never on a playoff team. JR: For me, when I consider a breakout season is not only getting statistics but also leading your team to a level that they haven't been. Who do you think is going to have one after this World Cup in Spain? Players like Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook or Derrick Rose weren't big stars in 2010 but after the World Cup in Turkey they had breakout seasons. So we did not have a lot of our top players ready to participate. So while it's not the Olympics, it's still basketball. What happens is, great players have already had their turn: Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Kevin Love had to deal with his trade speculation, Kevin Durant had to deal with being tired, Blake Griffin had a back injury and Paul George got injured. Spain, it would be a highly-viewed game just like an NBA Finals game. Jalen Rose: I think that's a misconception. Why are Americans not interested in watching Team USA playing the World Cup in Spain? HoopsHype caught up with him at the NBA House with Foot Locker before the Team USA-Serbia final. It will do it without Webber.Former player and current ESPN analyst Jalen Rose was one of many NBA personalities in Madrid during the World Cup. TNT will figure out who will partner with Albert, Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle and Brian Anderson in the opening rounds. And Jim Jackson has been solid in his two years on NBA games for Turner. Grant Hill has emerged as an improved analyst in a two-man booth, beginning with his NCAA run. Miller had joined Albert and Webber for the conference finals in the past. He has been paired with the legendary play-by-player in the past and could slide in with Albert. Reggie Miller worked with Albert on Thursday night. Webber, 48, had been with TNT since 2008.Īlbert will have a new partner in what could be his final playoff run. It was noticeable on Thursday, TNT’s last regular season broadcast of the season, that Webber was not teamed with Marv Albert on 76ers vs. There was a feeling that TNT did not want him back and maybe he didn’t want to return. Last week, The Post reported that Webber’s return for next year was very much in question.
