With constant knee issues and little playing time in Golden State, power forward Chris Webber has decided to call it quits.

"I really didn't want to rehab and come back this season because I don't think that was possible," Webber said. "Plus, because the way the team is playing, the chemistry is great with these guys, they're on a roll. I feel like they're going to win, they have a great chance to go very far in the playoffs. I just felt it was time to let the game go and be able to be happy about what I accomplished without trying to keep coming back."

Webber had his best NBA years with the Sacramento Kings, helping them reach the Western Conference finals in 2002. But a knee injury that required microfracture surgery slowed him down and he's had unsuccessful stints with Philadelphia, Detroit and Golden State since.

"One of the best power forwards to ever play in the NBA," Pistons president Joe Dumars said. "Chris was always a class act and someone we're all proud of in Detroit."

Webber averaged of 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his 15-year career.
