I was a junior in high school and I loved the fab 5...Jalen and juwan I had mad respect and love..they was awesome to watch..all of them was..it was great and refreshing to see a change
Coach K said "it wasn't 5 of us it was 12 of us, I'm not sure a team should ever take on the character of a group within the team. I felt that was one of the main reasons it never achieved a National championship" WOW!!!! That's some wise ass INSIGHT right there! Not for nothing, The Fab 5 Was all Freshman when they lost to Duke, who were juniors and seniors. And I will forever represent for them. What Coach K said, can'[t be denied though, He was Spot on with his assessment of the Fab 5!
Ez for coach K to say that when he had a team full of seniors and juniors. Kind of a cheap shot. If all 5 of them came back for their junior & senior seasons Im pretty sure they would have won 2 straight NCAA Championships.
The Bottom line, Michigan eradicated the Fab Five accomplishments, by taking every thing back, but MI didn't give back the money they made off the Fab Five, the Fab five, made MI, millions and made MI relevant.
The most misunderstood scandal ever. Calling Martin a booster when he knew those kids since they were children is foolish. Also, Martin gave gifts to kids regardless of where they went to school. The real issue is that Martin had a whole lot of money from running his gambling ring and he needed to make it disappear.
The fab 5 got paid in college. Did that affect the games they played in? Did it make the shots go in? Did freshmen and sophs taking money enhance their skills over night? No....
@randomperson331 They had more than one close game, in fact they lost a several....Lousiana Tech, NM State, OSU, Kansas, UC Santa Barbara, dont try to use hyperbole to help your cause, it's not accurate. I only point out that the conference was weak because everyone loves to point to the margin of victory....but again thanks for playing those power houses in the Mountain West. UNLV had a great team and finished strong, but dont get history twisted over 1 goddamn game, that Duke avenged btw!!!
@Anthonydp *Had they not been paid by Ed Martin, they never would have been together to be a great team*. Webber most likely would have been at Michigan State. Jud Heathcote has stated this over the years. He new all about Ed Martin's relationship with umich in the mid 80's.
But they have two national champions let me ask you a question how many championships do the Fab5 have you know they've been all right but had enough but I had to play teams from North Carolina haha
@boknowsbaseball why eye rolls? I didn't go to school there. I was a football fan because my father used to take me to the games when I was 6. I just kept following them into adulthood. i didn't know there was a rule that a person had to support all of a schools teams. If so i better jump on following that swim team before I get blasted,,
Unfortunately the entire Fab Five gets a bad rap for the actions of one 18 year old kid getting tons of money and gifts thrown at him by a lecherous wannabe Michigan man. Jalen, Jimmy, Ray, Chris and Juwan did more for the program and college basketball as a whole than arguably any team in history. And even better, their lives after basketball haven't been beset by tragedy or run ins with the law. They've all found fulfilling professional lives outside playing.
@davidlee28540 Actually, it was a joke. Satire, sarcasm, etc. Because of all these crazy people who have criticized Duke in order to suck up to Jalen and the haters.
@52griffin Fab Five couldnt beat UNC that year, let alone UNLV '90. Sports is about winning, not cool shorts and black socks. If that's their legacy, well I guess that speaks for itself.
Coach K is arguably the greatest coach of all time, and I am a Michigan fan who does not like Duke. He is up there with Wooden, Knight, Dean Smith, etc. Also, the point he makes in this video is not without merit. FREEZE THE VIDEO AT 1:44. LOLOLOL
@dazeja Dean or Coach K couldnt have coached them. Calipari could have won 4 Nat Cs with them if he was around back then. It needed to be a coach who let them play like they are and not try to conform them to a strict system. Coach K would of never have let them have long shorts or bald heads and would have crushed their swagger. But I agree Fisher was the weak link.
Coach k recruited Webber but he was already getting papid to go to Michigan.. Its funny all Webber didnt even want to be in the documentary theres no legacy there but probaation and Michigan was paying other players .Michigan didnt even win their conference the two years they played together so back to back final fours how many teams of claim to that big deal. They were bigger then the score of the game thats why they dont win against better teams sounds like sour grapes then celebration Jalen
Money was given to players (Chris Webber) to come to the University of Michigan by Ed Martin. It was common knowledge in the Detroit area what Ed Martin was doing at the U of M as far back as 1983. Had he testified (before he suddenly died) this would have come out. In fact, Remedial Robinson last year alluded to money being exchanged during his days in an interview. Other coaches in the Big Ten, knew cheating was going on in Ann Arbor and mentioned this off the record.
Espn just had a special on Coach K winning 900 games and how great that is. I feel that he should not get any credit since he did not recruit inner city blacks.
the fab five was overrated. i'm glad they started longer shorts and black socks but thats about all they did. they never won anything that mattered. and everytime they lost they were jealous and started calling people names. maybe if they wouldnt of spent their times running around on cameras and talking shit, they could of learned to play basketball like a championship team.
BEST TIME OF MY LIFE WATCHING THE FAB FIVE...SO WHAT IF YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE THUGS.... IF IM CONFIDENT AND have some ARROGANCE COOL WIT ME... MOST PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAVE THAT SWAG ARE VERY SUCCESSFULL.... for example..BOXER MUHAMMAD ALI....may a say more
@thecee20 LOL everybody just remembers beating Duke by 30....how about that dominating 2 point win over Ball State in the tournament, what a blowout! Their margin of victory during the season is skewed by playing in a GARBAGE conference with a bunch of pooh butts.
a team that didnt win anything played good in the tournament they couldnt beat duke and had trouble with indiana in their conference other then being a good team for two years that was it but Jalen Rose act like they were Ucla of the 60s which they were no where close . Coach k recruited kids he could coach and not run his team it was nothing against kids in detroit alot of good bball players im sure came out of there but his dogging of duke was wrong
forfeit fab 5's games? lol why can't they do it with the lakers winning the ring against weeber's sacramento kings? that's why the lakers sucks, and will ever be... sorry for their legends, like magic...
I hated that Michigan team and I'm a Die hard Wolverines Football fan. With that said,, that was a GREAT and talented team but it lacked leadership. The coach sucked and it showed in the tournaments. I seriously thought that they would've won 4 national championships if they were coached by Dean or K
I was a junior in high school and I loved the fab 5...Jalen and juwan I had mad respect and love..they was awesome to watch..all of them was..it was great and refreshing to see a change
all you haters!!!!!!!!! The most talked about team in history, Fab5!!!!!! The fact that you all are watchn this juzt
Love this group of guys.
Coach K said "it wasn't 5 of us it was 12 of us, I'm not sure a team should ever take on the character of a group within the team. I felt that was one of the main reasons it never achieved a National championship" WOW!!!! That's some wise ass INSIGHT right there!

What Coach K said, can'[t be denied though, He was Spot on with his assessment of the Fab 5!
The Bulls took on the identity of 3 ppl and you can even say 1 person
Ez for coach K to say that when he had a team full of seniors and juniors. Kind of a cheap shot. If all 5 of them came back for their junior & senior seasons Im pretty sure they would have won 2 straight NCAA Championships.
They changed the Game of College Basketball, right before our Eyes!!! This was my Team, and will always be my Team!!!! Fab Five for Life.....
27 years later, Coach K did exactly what said a team shouldn't do.
It will never be a fresh class like this again
They were a fun team to watch
20 yrs later-These guys are still SO LOVED! No? Apparently U didn't watch the Nat'l Champ Game last night!
The Bottom line, Michigan eradicated the Fab Five accomplishments, by taking every thing back, but MI didn't give back the money they made off the Fab Five, the Fab five, made MI, millions and made MI relevant.
Very true.
Legends.
Greatest college rivalry ever!
@0163J They made Michigan relevant? Michigan had a title 2 years prior, not to mention the 10 National titles prior to 1997.
Btu why did everyone forget about Michigan so fast then ?? Especially basketball.. Seems like it
At least, Juwan Howard got that ring with the Heat for most claps and high-5's LOO
Screw them banners, y'all exist, Fab Five forever.

Today it would all be legal
Bottomline is that Ed potentially influenced game results for $
I’m more of a MSU fan but I feel like everyone from Michigan that loves basketball has to respect the fab 5.
Jalen Rose = architect of the Fab 5 - five times actually.
Arkansas, UNLV, and Illinois also had longer shorts and different colored socks/shoes.. hmm.. but yeah, the 5 definitely made it popular
Damn, the Fab 5 is/was sick nasty.
Make the change
@Lutherheggsghost Maybe no rings, but had pro contracts, can't say the same for a lot players that played against them.
What kind of kicks are those at 2:47 theyre sick?!
Raise the banners
i loved this video...it really takes a toll on u
Beyond The Glory was a program on Fox SPorts Net not ESPN.
@dazeja wow. Just a fan of the football team. Real "die hard." *eye roll*
The fab 5 got paid in college. Did that affect the games they played in? Did it make the shots go in? Did freshmen and sophs taking money enhance their skills over night? No....
Juwan and C Webb were my favourite
@victory4msu26 It was CHRIS WEBBER who took the money, NOT Jalen, NOT Juwan, NOT Ray or Jimmy. Get it right, genius.
@randomperson331 They had more than one close game, in fact they lost a several....Lousiana Tech, NM State, OSU, Kansas, UC Santa Barbara, dont try to use hyperbole to help your cause, it's not accurate.

where can i find more fab five games?
Been wearing black Nike socks since...
Fab 5
So basically ESPN's 30 for 30 copied this BEYOND THE GLORY documentary since they did it to Fav Five first.
The thing is they werent as much of a 'fab 5' Rob Pelinka was a big part of that team
Sorry but no he does not have to "shut up." Hes one of the best (and classiest) coaches in sports. Sorry bro
@ThirdCoastJeep what happened off the court did not have anything to do with that they did on the court...
Coach K needs to shut up. If it weren't for the refs giving them a lot of good calls, they would have 2 less NCAA Championships.
But they have two national champions let me ask you a question how many championships do the Fab5 have you know they've been all right but had enough but I had to play teams from North Carolina haha
UNLV 1990 or fab 5 1993?
your grandpa and dad hated on them and some of u still hating on them..wow..
yeaa but you rember them do u rember how won the NCCA 5 years ago without searchin on google probely not
the best team to never win a championship
@boknowsbaseball why eye rolls? I didn't go to school there. I was a football fan because my father used to take me to the games when I was 6.

So what the coach basiclly said is that the Heat will never win a championship? Maybe but probably not, Celtics fan BTW.
@drbayoms Uh how about the '01 Duke team with Jason Williams, Boozer, Dunleavy....that team won EVERY tournament game by double digits, it's a fact.
A Detroit thing
@davidlee28540 Actually, it was a joke. Satire, sarcasm, etc. Because of all these crazy people who have criticized Duke in order to suck up to Jalen and the haters.
@52griffin Fab Five couldnt beat UNC that year, let alone UNLV '90. Sports is about winning, not cool shorts and black socks. If that's their legacy, well I guess that speaks for itself.
Steve Fischer letting them play streetball all the time cost them 2 championships.

People Don't Like Cheaters Jalen....
UNLV 1990 or fab 5 1993
@Tyrone181 jalen admitted he took the money
@dazeja Dean or Coach K couldnt have coached them. Calipari could have won 4 Nat Cs with them if he was around back then. It needed to be a coach who let them play like they are and not try to conform them to a strict system.

1:26 LOOSIE GOOSIE LMFAO...That white boy syndrome!
Tobacco Road showed them what for black socks didn’t help them win a national championship
@jejesdad word. word. WORD !
Most hyped team in history. They NEVER won a championship. Duke kicked their #@& three times.
@jake76oh I'd be bitter too if I was never able to beat the guys who said I wasn't of their class! That stings.
Coach k recruited Webber but he was already getting papid to go to Michigan.. Its funny all Webber didnt even want to be in the documentary theres no legacy there but probaation and Michigan was paying other players .Michigan didnt even win their conference the two years they played together so back to back final fours how many teams of claim to that big deal.

I mean 2:17
coach Cal has no fab five

Inaccurate.
Duke> Fab Five
Espn just had a special on Coach K winning 900 games and how great that is. I feel that he should not get any credit since he did not recruit inner city blacks.
Shut up Coach K lol
You shutup.
Jay Zee your beloved coach is a cheater and fraud
@@joshnyamburi proof? Oh you mean those false reports on Zion. Yeah sure ma'am if you say so 😂.
Jay Zee NCAA has to protect their beloved coach K😂😂😂
@@joshnyamburi thanks Miss. So glad some random UA-cam woman can enlighten me 😂😂😂

webber was screwed in 2002...... When is the jail sentence for Bob Delaney? It's a disgrace he and Bavetta still have jobs!

why can't they do it with the lakers winning the ring against weeber's sacramento kings?
that's why the lakers sucks, and will ever be... sorry for their legends, like magic...
I hated that Michigan team and I'm a Die hard Wolverines Football fan.
With that said,, that was a GREAT and talented team but it lacked leadership. The coach sucked and it showed in the tournaments. I seriously thought that they would've won 4 national championships if they were coached by Dean or K
"Fraud 5"
Rose calls himself a "pioneer"........lol shut up dude.
