Chris Webber, one of Michigan's fabled Fab Five, is a finalist for the 2021 class of the James Naismith basketball Hall of Fame. Webber played his high school ball in suburban Detroit at Country Day School in Birmingham, leading the Yellow Jackets to three consecutive Class B state titles from 1988-1991. He was the National High School Player of the Year in 1991, and was the most recruited player from a Michigan school since Magic Johnson. Webber signed on with the University of Michigan and was among one of the most prized recruiting classes ever at both the school and in the nation. Webber, along with Detroit's Jalen Rose, Chicago's Juwan Howard, and two recruits from Texas, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson, became known as the "Fab Five" as much for their swagger as their abilities.
