Detroit will be the hub of Michigan basketball excitement next weekend as NBA Hall of Famer Chris Webber hosts ‘The Best of Michigan Basketball Showcase.’ The two-day event, set for Dec. 13-14, at Calihan Hall on the University of Detroit Mercy campus, will highlight the state’s top high school teams and elite athletes.
Chicago Bulls: Josh Giddey has his 22nd career triple-double! He passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, Kyle Lowry, Michael Ray Richardson, and Chris Webber on the NBA's all-time list.
Matt Barnes: "We turned a show into a whole company. Now we’re in boxing, MMA, launching NFL and MLB, something in FIFA, stepping into politics. Started All The Smoke Productions in 2024. JR Rider doc coming, Chris Webber doc coming. We didn’t know what we were building but we created an ecosystem."

Chris Webber: “Coach Carril, who was the coach of Princeton at the time — Coach Pete Carril — came to our team, and I absolutely loved this man. He was a walking encyclopedia when it came to basketball. He gave me a book, and it was The Fast Take from the Strong. We talked about how the trend was to be so strong, but really it should be to be fast. And he was like, ‘What does that mean mentally?’ And he asked me a question: ‘What do you want to be known for?’ He said, ‘You can have the same stats here and be lost in a small town, highest tax bracket, smallest supporting fan base — or you can make something special. It’s about legacy.’ And I think we’ve heard founders here talk about being a founder and what it takes. With all that off-work balance, it really is about your legacy. What are you fighting for? When it’s something bigger than you, you give more. That’s what made our team different — we had something bigger than stats.”
Speaking on the latest episode of the All The Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Mobley reflected on his time with Yao in Houston and expressed that the 7-foot-6 center was more than just a dominant post scorer. “What people don’t understand about Yao. He could pass the ball, like Joker, he could've done that,” Mobley said. “It’s just the offense didn’t. Say we would’ve had Rick Adelman, for a fact, you would’ve seen more of Yao Ming. Like that Chris Webber, that Vlade Divac, Brad Miller type of passing. He had all of it.”
During practice, the now co-podcat host of "All the Smoke" took a shot the head coach saw as "ill-advised," and Cheeks stopped everything to call out his player in front of the whole roster. "I was going to pounce on him," Matt remembered his reaction. "Luckily, Chris [Webber] grabbed me and stopped me." Ultimately, Barnes, outspoken as ever, couldn't resist a jab. He said Cheeks' poor treatment of players left a lasting, and not positive, impact. "That's probably why he's a lifelong assistant," the 45-year-old noted, alluding to the fact that Mo hasn't held a main role on the sidelines since the 2014–15 NBA regular season.
Chris Webber: "Let me just say this—it's painful not winning a championship. It's painful. And in the culture we were in, for me not to go to a team I was playing against and try to win one—I could have gone to San Antonio, I could have gone to other teams—but at the time, I'd rather lose by myself than join the enemy, because I thought that’s the way it was. When I saw it, it was Dominique, Bird, and Isaiah doing it that way. But at the same time, if I was in this culture today, best believe I’d go play with some people I have a great relationship with and try to win one. So it’s that balance. Yeah, you should put it all on the floor. You should be crying if you don’t win that championship. But at the end of the day, we know the players we still accept without rings. You still respect them."
