Chris Webber might be one of the best college basketball players of all time, but he’s still best known for the one play he’d love to forget.

Would Michigan have become the greatest college basketball dynasty of all time? Does NIL arrive decades earlier? And how C-Webb’s slip-up could’ve altered foreign policy forever? Plus would we all still be rocking basketball shorts down to our ankles? Find out on Alternate Routes.
