Much to the surprise of NBA fans, "Fab Five" member Jalen Rose made an appearance on TNT this Tuesday night. Rose filled in for Kenny Smith on "Inside the NBA" this evening.
Jalen Rose is a basketball icon. Apparently, he wasn't iconic enough to keep him off ESPN's chopping block, though. A few months ago when the "worldwide leader" axed many of its big names, Rose -- known for his basketball analysis -- was let go.
During a Friday morning segment of ESPN's "Get Up," former NBA player and current on-air personality Jalen Rose provided his commentary on the state of race relations in the United States.
Rose said that for young athletes in college, all they are told to do is focus on their respective sport in order to become "a master of your craft and for me."
In April, Rose suggested that James was no better than the fifth-greatest player in NBA history as of this stage of the three-time champion's Hall of Fame career.
