While Webber wiped with the floor with everything he was able to accomplish, he would not have been able to do it without Rose. Jalen Rose comes right behind Webber with his strong shooting ability. ◾ Still NOT in the Hall of Fame! /teUMDG1dfN Webber went on to have a fantastic NBA career as a #1 overall draft pick. He is most notably known for receiving a technical foul in the final seconds of the National Championship for calling a timeout when Michigan had none remaining which sealed the deal for North Carolina. They started his sophomore season as the #1 team in the nation according to the AP poll. He led the Wolverines to back-to-back National Championship games in his two years but failed to win one. Webber’s records are tarnished by the fact that he was part of the scandal that removed Michigan’s wins, but that does not take away the fact that they were able to win them. Even though he has played only half the time as some other Michigan greats, he ranks 3rd on the all-time blocks list for Michigan (175). He sits 7th in rebounds per game (10.03), 4th in steals per game (1.47), and 1st in blocks per game (2.5) at Michigan. While he only stayed for two seasons Michigan, he was on pace to hold many records and does hold a few. Chris WebberĬhris Webber is the clear-cut number one here. Here is my list of the top 10 Michigan basketball players of the 90s. While this has put a huge damper on the accomplishments of the period, you cannot say these players were not great on the floor. During those times, Michigan had an NIT championship and a Big Ten tournament championship which have been erased as well as some deep runs into the NCAA tournament. Due to players taking money during their career, Michigan has vacated the entire 1992-93 season as well as every game from 1995-96 through the 1998-99 season. While Michigan saw great success during this period, it is not the greatest period of Michigan basketball as it has been tainted with scandals. While never winning a single championship, they are still known as one of the greatest teams to ever play college basketball. This decade holds the beloved “Fab Five” team that is nationally remembered for being a team of 4 All-American recruits going to the same school. The 1990s is the most memorable period for Michigan basketball.
