Chris Webber and Don Nelson -
There are plenty of examples across sports of surprising reunions -- players who once feuded becoming teammates again, a coach and a player putting aside past differences for another go-round, a player rejoining an organization after previously leaving on bad terms. We're highlighting a select few here, starting with the latest unexpected get-together.

That Webber and Nelson have joined forces again is a stunner for Warriors fans who remember how their relationship unraveled even as Webber was winning the 1993-94 Rookie of the Year on Nelson's 50-win team. ''I have no love for Don Nelson,'' Webber said after the Warriors traded him to the Bullets for Tom Gugliotta and three first-round picks in November 1994. Nelson was fired after a 14-31 start in '94-95.
