The original Jalen. All of the current Jalens are named after this man.

Yes he met expectations, he was the best player on the Pacers team that finally broke thru to make the NBA finals; he just needed an advocate like Bird who believed in his game.

@WorldwideWyatt I think both of us can agree that Jalen should've been an all-star that year, even though he won most improved. But Reggie got selected that year.

​@@4392amtrakYup. Jalen played 13 years in the league and spent a significant amount of that time as a starter on some good teams (Indiana) and not so good (Toronto). All Star selections are beyond your control. You could put up All Star worthy numbers as he did that season and not get selected for a variety of reasons.

The Early 90s Michigan Wolverines Fab 5 is why I fell in love with Basketball, C-Webb, Jalen and Juwan Howard, baggy shorts and black socks, I was hurt when they lost to UNC in the National Championship because of Chris Webber calling a timeout they didn't have. Some more suggestions, Antonio McDyess, LaPhonso Ellis and Juwan Howard.

So did I man. I begged my Momma to put a Michigan Apex (bootleg Starter) Jacket on layaway and eventually got it. Once I did, I really treasured that jacket and nobody could tell me nothin at that time. I love it and played the Washington Bullets they had Webber and Howard on "Give and Go" on Super Nintendo and every other video game they were on. They also had a squad with George Muersan, Calbert Cheney, Tracy Murray and, Tim Legler. I also played with and loved the Nuggets with Jalen, Mutombo, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf. Both those squads were good.

It wasn't Chris Webber fault. It was a teammate at the far end of the bench that was telling Chris to call timeout. It was number 14 can't recall his name but he use to start and he hated the fact that the starters lost their positions to freshmen. That teammate was clapping when Chris called the timeout . How you go against your own teammates in a big game like that.

Jalen Rose in Indy was a baller

Salute to Jalen Rose. I believe he still holds the Denver Nuggets rookie record for assists in a season. That Michigan Fab 5 team was epic for the hip hop culture with the long baggy shorts and black socks. Now his time playing for my Home Town Team the Chicago Bulls and yeah that team was BAAAAAAD

I remember Jalen Rose for 3 things: #1.Michigan's Fab 5 #2.All-around game #3. 81

Those Pacers teams in the mid to late 1990s were stellar. That 2000 team was nice too. Peace to J Rose . Peace to The Fab 5. "The year before the Fab Five’s arrival, Michigan’s merchandise revenue was around 1.6 million. During the two years the Fab Five was together, merchandise skyrocketed to 10.5 Million."- Rodney Wilkins Peace to Rodney Rogers. Peace to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.

That *was* a robot 100%. I’m not sure what happened to the real Jalen, but I hope he’s alright.

I was born in Seattle in 1973, Sonics and Blazers fan. I actually had a liking for guards, who were good per-minute REBOUNDERS, and Jalen Rose usually had good rebounding numbers.

One of my all time favorite players and one of the first basketball players that I loved as a kid. I grew up a big wolverines fan and when Jalen went pro, I remember I had his Denver Nuggets rookie year jersey

Nice one, Bonzi Wells or Ilgauskas.

I was a former Detroit Public School League (PSL) player, #SHOUTOUTTOTHEMBOYS so proud of them dudes man, putting that pettiness behind them.

Miss him on espn. #Whatupthou

Jalen Rose would be a Basketball Ball Hall of Famer in this current NBA era of play.......

Two things wrong in the very beginning. Weber was the most popular of the Fab 5. And Rose was not a point forward. He was the point guard.

​@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390me too. Revisionist history is a trip.

I make a strong argument that he should have came out of college earlier instead of his junior year. Prospects like Rose should have been developed a lot better. Every time he started to see his game grow the teams took the ball away from him. He’s one of my biggest what if’s.

Prime Jalen Rose was a beast, he was one of the best all around players in the league that could score, rebound, pass, and handle the ball for his team and play in any situation. I was so happy that Larry Bird was his HC when he came to Indiana because alot of people were calling him a bust before then. Once Bird helped develop his NBA game and get his confidence back he really took off. Really wished he could have played with a contender team after he got traded from Indiana but he still had a very nice NBA career for a guy that really was ahead of his time. In today;s NBA I think Rose would have been one of the best players in the league.

Oooo Voshon Leonard would be a good profile to do. I always liked him as a shooter. Thought he was pretty underrated as well.

Love your videos but why not just say the actual stats shown on the screen? Why round them arbitrarily?

I wish that NIL deals were available to players back then. You probably would have had these guys at Michigan for the full 4 years, a national championship AND not taking money from a booster. Also Steve Fisher was a great coach.

my favorite detroit basketball players r steve smith & jalen rose, rip eric montrose

My favorite all time player.

Thank you 🙂

Gratitude

Will be at all home games cause we got season tickets but I hope to go to lsu game and maybe Missouri

Jalen got to be good as he could be at a NBA level, without great expectations.

LOOK at his life he more than reached his full potential. Go Jalen

Jalen with the bulls was ballin

In "I Hate Christian Laettner," Jalen Rose showed that his hatred was towards GRANT HILL, and much less towards Laettner! I am a Japanese-American male, born in Seattle in 1973, and yes, that IS relevant.

Welp since we on Fab 5..... Juwan Howard next please. Since he is the coach of Michigan now.

You are player love your work

Larry Bird is the one that turned Rose into a small forward. Before Bird, Rose kept saying that he was a point guard. Larry was known to say that he saw a lot of himself in Jalen. So, without Bird, Jalen Rose wouldn't have found his true position.

Think they almost had Eric Montross from NC because his dad played at M think Howard at PF Montross C Weber SF PG Rose 2G Jackson or King

Why no in game highlights

Juwan Howard is the next fab five you should do

Please do Gerald Wallace

lol rose didn’t want nothing to do with Ewing with all that backing up 😂

He should've been allowed to run the point guard position on an NBA team

Crazy he never met his father

Why did Toronto do that trade without mourning coming back from the nets? Just negotiate with another team..

I really thought Jalen Rose should have been an All-Star over Latrell Sprewell in 2000.

Ron Harper next…???

I'm confused how can a point guard be a point forward?

simple be taller than 6'6 and they won't slot you at guard cuz of your size but you'll run the offense like Bron

Mutombo left Denver because Denver didn't offer him a contract. It had nothing to do with Jalen Rose leaving Denver.

I still wear black socks and black socks only. And baggy hoopin shorts

Jackson looked 6'7 and if King was 6'5 then Howard was 6'6 and Rose looked 6'1 in that picture that was posted,cant tell what Web was sitting down
