Welcome C Webb


Why No. 84?
 Don't look for any tricky symbolism or convoluted numerical messages as to why Chris Webber is wearing No. 84.
 This one came courtesy of Webber's 7-year old nephew, Colten Henney-Webber.
 "I called him and told him I might be coming home to Detroit to play for the Pistons," Webber said. "He said, 'What jersey are you going to wear?' I told him I couldn't wear No. 4 because Joe Dumars is the man and you can't wear No. 4 for the Pistons."
 Jersey No. 4, which Webber has worn since college, is retired and hanging in The Palace rafters.
 "My nephew said, 'Get No. 84,' " Webber said. "He said, 'Get a pencil and write it down -- 84 is your jersey.' Then his mother got on the phone and told me he had a dream that I was here playing and wearing No. 84. We won the game he dreamed about, so, I am wearing No. 84."
