Time heals all wounds, I think. People have mindlessly repeated that throughout my life so it must be true. But enough time has not passed for Chris Webber and Jalen Rose to mend their differences over comments about events that transpired more than 22 years ago. They were close, but now they're not.
Currently Webber is set to teach a Master's course at Wake Forest, and he went on The Doug Gottlieb Show to talk about his new spot running a class in higher academia. Questions related to that subject got answered without a hitch. But a question at the end about where he and Rose currently stand? Well, that got awkward.

When Gottlieb explained why he was asking about it, Webber continued:
Gottlieb said no. Webber was still annoyed:
After Gottlieb tried in vain to explain his point of view, the interview ended with Webber saying:
You can listen to the whole interview here. But, honestly, you just heard the best part.
