Chris Webber caused a bit of a stir yesterday after ripping the Fab Five documentary while on The Dan Patrick show. Two of Webber’s former teammates at Michigan – Jalen Rose and Jimmy King – have responded to Webber, and quite harshly.
According to an interview with Larry Brown Sports, Jalen Rose was quoted as saying that Webber is ‘delusional and still in denial’:
“One dude traveled then called timeout. One dude lied to grand jury and hasn’t apologized. One dude tried to circumvent the documentary to HBO. One dude ignored multiple requests from everyone involved after agreeing to participate. One dude played like (President) Obama and sat in a suite during Michigan’s recent title game. One dude slandered Ed Martin after all he did for him and his family. One dude is not in contact with the other four (which is all good). One dude has been doing a rebuttal doc for four years. One dude clearly is delusional and still in denial.”
Meanwhile, Jimmy King was asked about Webber in a radio interview with Matt Shepard on WDFN Thursday via Rod Beard:

King; As a family, we don't air our laundry out publicly. Tthat's the problem I'm having with this. We had chances to talk privately.
