NBA Fans Rejoice As Chris Webber Is Reportedly OUT At TNT Ahead Of The NBA Playoffs

TNT analyst Chris Webber gets just absolutely roasted whenever he calls a basketball game. Most fans seem to think that the broadcast would be better off if we just listened to fingernails screeching across a chalk board instead of Webber’s commentary.

Well, fans have some good news. It was announced that Chris Webber and TNT will be parting ways ahead of this year’s NBA Playoffs.

It was reported that Chris Webber would likely no longer be at TNT after this season, but it was hard to believe that they’d pull the plug right before the playoffs. Maybe TNT feels this will give them a chance to try-out some long-term options to replace Webber.

Of the names being rumored to step in are Grant Hill and Jim Jackson.

NBA Twitter was in a celebratory mood after it was announced that Chris Webber was out.

Chris Webber will probably land on his feet just fine, and NBA fans get their wish.

I’m sure people will have some problems with whoever TNT picks to replace Webber, though.
