From basketball legend Chris Webber comes By God’s Grace, the highly anticipated memoir by the polarizing star of Michigan’s iconic Fab Five.

Chris Webber is a once-in-a-generation athlete and one of the most versatile big men in basketball history. From his baggy shorts, black socks, and trash talk that sparked a cultural revolution to becoming the first overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, Webber’s career spanned fifteen professional seasons and earned him countless honors. But to know the real man is to look beyond the CWebb persona into the pressure-filled world of Mayce Edward Christopher Webber III, a shy momma’s boy from Detroit.

Labeled a prodigy at twelve years old, Webber fought his way through the drugs, crime, and gang wars that plagued his tough childhood neighborhood to become one of the most heavily recruited high school basketball players of all time. He soon became the leader of Michigan’s Fab Five, a team as outrageous as it was legendary, and a dominant force in the NBA. But with his rise to basketball heights came scandal, misconception, and forfeited wins that caused lasting controversy. Every step of the way, Webber leaned on the two most important relationships in his life for support: God and family.

By God’s Grace offers an unparalleled look into Webber’s story in his own words. He recounts the incredible highs of his personal life and days on the court, along with his most devastating lows, including his infamous time-out and the years of infertility he and his wife endured before the birth of their twins. Featuring never-before-seen photos, personal stories, and heartfelt tributes to the most influential people in his life, this is a profoundly honest firsthand account of one man’s inspiring journey and how God’s grace guided him through it all.

In sports, proper identity is key. We celebrate players, we glorify their existence, we marvel at their talent, and we cherish the moments that they give us. But the game that they are playing goes deeper than the surface we see.

Who are they? What are they? Positions were given out to players over 70 years ago, and we continue to identify them with just these labels. In doing this, we’ve ignored a huge component that plays a part in the world we live in. And that’s evolution.

In this book, Rashad takes us on an exciting journey in which he tells the stories of players, identifies them properly, and dissects the game from where it was to where it is today. He shares never-heard-before stories of the games’ greatest players, and rearranges the legacies of many with his new position metric.
