Quite The Collector
Chris Webber does not only dabble in sport; the former professional athlete is pretty interested in art as well and in fact, owns an African-American artifacts collection that is quite rare, with the pieces on display in Sacramento, California’s Central Library. He started by simply being interested in African Americans’ cultural history, but his art collection has become full-fledged! Webber said, “I just thought I was going to put it in the hallway of my house. My friends were like, ‘You’re corny. You’re a nerd.’ I thought no one would care.” Today, his collection is exhibited at public buildings and museums across the United States on a regular basis, but Chris’ mother (below) was actually the person who inspired him to start collecting since she had a selection of art pieces around their home when the star was growing up.
Guest Appearances
Chris is very charismatic and well-spoken. Can you believe that he has had guest appearances on Jay Leno’s, Bill Maher’s, and David Letterman’s shows?!
