In a 1993 home game against the Phoenix Suns, a rookie Chris Webber received an outlet pass on the break from Latrell Sprewell. C-Webb flashed an around-the-back move (with no one around him) before rising for the flush. In the air, he met Phoenix’s Sir Charles Barkley and proceeded to dunk on his head.
The dunk brought the house down. The future was bright in Golden State.
Nike decided to capitalize on this youth movement, and filmed a commercial for their Barber Shop series with C-Webb and Spre recounting and re-enacting the sequence. At the end, Webber made a remark that probably didn’t sit well with Chuck, saying “He (Barkley) said, I don’t believe in role models, but you mine.”
Barkley was not about to get shown up by anyone like that, let alone from a rookie. When the two teams met in the playoffs later that year, Barkley turned it up a few notches averaging 37 points on 60% shooting for the series. In the final game, Barkley dropped 56-14 while regularly taunting the Warriors’ bench saying, “Put that in a commercial.”
