Webber obviously knew he was being exploited by the school and NCAA. Hence brining up the fact that he noticed his $75 jersey and that he couldn't afford to buy a pizza. It made perfect sense for him to take some of Martin's money to make ends meet. However....Albom's comments really made me think twice about the whole Webber/Martin relationship. From Albom's account, the Webber's were living modestly and if he (C-Webb) did take the 200-300k, he did a great job of not flaunting it. How can a college basketball STAR keep that amount of money on the hush? Somewhere between Webber's silence and the Martin family speaking on their relationship is the truth....fact is, it's easy to throw stones at the guy...but none of us really know what went down.
a few other things:
*The way espn set up Webber's long walk down the Superdome tunnel was brilliant. I got goosebumps watching it. I kept waiting for the footage to end...but it kept going and going. I really felt bad for Webber in seeing him make that long walk...great job, ESPN.
*Jalen Rose was executive producer of the film
*I hope the day comes where Webber would be comfortable enough to speak about his time at Michigan.
