Jalen has always been a real dude to me and i have always looked up to him. Im proud to see a brother like him make it out Detroit and become a very successful man. He was only speaking on how he felt at that age and he didn't hold back like most would. it's no secret Duke has always recruited a certain type of player.
skins4life21taylor Yeah, but they have the right to recruit whoever they want. As long as it's not illegal . Alot of people are born poor . Poor people are a part of life on this planet. Let's just continue fighting through it..
Jalen has an irrational disdain for Duke, but his teams lost to Duke on the occasions they played and Duke also took a championship from them, so I get it. Duke also recruited Chris Webber, so that kind of muddies the waters for Jalen.
He said him and CWebb used to speak through their teeth ( you can see CWebb talks similiar but with his mouth twisted) so ppl couldnt read their lips....similiar to a ventriloquist
17 yr old Jalen felt like a whole bunch of us back then. Now that we're older, we've become wiser. Don't try to define the adult Jalen by how the the 17yr old Jalen thought.
Jalen and Grant were both great professional basketball players. Grant overcame not having to work as hard as he did to setting the goal, working harder than anyone, and becoming great. Jalen overcame poverty and environmental factors to set goals, work hard and achieve greatness. The hatred, disconnect, and misunderstanding between the poor and rich are not isolated to one ethnic or racial community. But I applaud both equally and both have provided financial security through their efforts for their future generations. Both overcame different, but no less potent obstacles in becoming the top .002% in their profession.
sr dargo Jalen is full of shit. His family wasn't really that poor, and Grant Hill was better than him which is why Coach K recruited him. I was a huge Fab 5 fan, but Jalen has ruined that for me with his endless nonsense and bs and his lack of appreciation for Chris Webber.
I've said this before, now I'll say it again. Jalen is my Newphew. He and my oldest son went to Detroit Southwestern. While going to Southwestern they lived out of the District so they had to have and keep at least a 3.0 gpa., that was the program that was at Southwestern at the time they went and they both had 3.9 gpa's. While there they also made the National Honor Society, and other honor's. So y'all hate'n ass people can stop the hate. Jalen and my son had offer's from even Stanford, and numerous Ivey League School's as well. So Jalen is now, and was then a person of intelligence.
That question about Grant Hill and Elton Brand doing a disservice to their black heritage by joining Duke really pisses me off b/c it if anything, they’d be a disservice if they decided NOT to join Duke. They went there to improve the betterment of their families and their livelihoods, that’s black excellence.
The whole reasoning for Jalen’s feeling like he did was because HE had a pro athlete dad who WASN’T in his life or providing for the family like Grant Hill’s dad was, which caused his single mom to work 2 jobs, struggle to take care of the family on her own, miss out on going to college (like Hill’s mom did) in order to better the family income in the future...people need to stop taking bits & pieces of a comment & making it into more than what it meant.
It's definitely different when you're from the hood I know 1st hand I became a 2xWorld Champion no education no Father and only a few amateur fights with God all things are possible 🙏
Some people in the comments calling him jealous, specifically at this point of Jalen's life, are trippin. Jealous of what? That he went to Duke? Jalen played on probably the most iconic college hoops team of all time.
"My kids Yea! But me when I was young No"! I love that, that's why we work so dam hard! So our kids can have the opportunities we didn't! Our parents were struggling middle class families trying very hard to survive, Watching the kids from Duke was like watching Beverly Hills 90120, it's like why are they playing basketball they already have everything they could ever want. Lol! I hated Duke and North Carolina when I was young.
In order too understand what he's saying you have to experience it. Everything he said is true. Kids growing up in poverty compared to kids born with a silverspoon are 2 different life styles and i guess that's what will always effect anyone. Sometimes it benefits players...it makes them fight harder!! "I never seen coach K in Detroit"- funny!
Cmon Skip nobody thinks the same at 17 as they do in their 40’s and what he’s saying is true, people do view Duke players differently especially ppl from the hood
What people also failed to realize that he was living like that with a father who played in the nba and was known...grant hills pops played running back for America's team and his mom was lawyer..he wasn't living like that..and when your young..your gonna be envious...he's telling truth..K don't recruit camerlo Anthony's...he recruits the Seth Curry's..Austin rivers..etc
Tyus Jones, Kyrie Irving, Brandon Ingram, Jabari Parker, etc... He recruits above average IQ 4 star recruit players that come from stable homes and backgrounds. It's been documented Kobe was a top Duke recruit and he would have went there if he didn't go straight to the league. The only player I've ever heard Coach K said he wanted that didn't come from a Duke background was Lebron James and Lebron stated if he went to college, he would have went to Ohio State.
In fairness Juwan Howard is the only member of the fav five to win not one but two back to back champion rings with the Miami heat. Duke has only one champion ring with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Just saying
Laettner was from Buffalo worked part time as a school janitor to afford the school he went to. I hope everyone who watches this also watches the Laettner 30 for 30.
Practice under Bobby Hurley Sr, scrimmaged against the friars, Played against Bobby Hurley Jr I assure they were not poor. I use to walk from Marion Projects in Jersey City to White Eagle Hall Bobby Hurley arrive in a Vehicle from the nice area. I felt that way against Bobby Hurley back then
This video is a perfect encapsulation of why I’ve always disliked Skip. He takes exactly what Jalen says, Jalen spoke articulately and concise, Skips mind warps it into “So you’re basically implying that Grant Hill is doing Black Americans a disservice.” Lmfao like bro what???
Love Jalen, he is just the best..., fact. He should move his talents out of ESPN though. He would be better served virtually anywhere else other the ESPN...fact.
Watching the Christian Latener documentary and saw how JR feels. Man, Jalen Rose is a typical African american kid-that believe you can't be rich and succeed. Luckily, he has basketball skill-otherwise, he's just another statistic. Stop playing the victim role man and stop hating on rich-African american kids. NOBODY is stopping you because of your skin.
Practice under Bobby Hurley Sr, scrimmaged against the friars, Played against Bobby Hurley Jr I assure they were not poor. I use to walk from Marion Projects in Jersey City to White Eagle Hall Bobby Hurley arrive in a Vehicle from the nice area. I felt that way against Bobby Hurley. I know 3 players that were better than Hurley use to smoke him on the court, they didn't make it because they didn't have the same support system as Hurley but they had much Better Talent
I don't believe Elton Brand grew in an affluent area. I think he did well on his SATs in addition to being a great basketball player. You can't put everyone who made it to a place that you couldn't get to in a safe little category to make yourself feel better. What were Jalen's grades coming out of high school? also, Duke definitely recruited Chris Webber, and yes he went to a private school, but, he lived in Detroit, and I'm willing to bet that he had much better grades than Jalen.
Duke recruits 4 stars and up. You're either related to a professional athlete, affluent, or high achieving. Even Brandon Ingrams dad played semi pro ball and owned a business. Elton Brand was a beast power forward and very smart. Jalen was a very good prospect but he wasn't Chris Webber. Webber could have been a top 50 all time NBA player.
Goldman Sachs, IBM, GOOGLE, WALLST etc etc .........hire a "certain type of employee" to represent their values (or there lack of) for their institutions too!!
But he had a scholarship to an expensive private school in a suburb outside of Detroit; if there wasn't a teacher strike in Detroit that year; he would have went to Southwestern with Jalen. School didn't start until the end of September that year because of the strike.
@@JohnMcCrimmon-bc4ei Yeah, because Duke would have lost their championships due to Webber screwing up. Duke had back-to-back championships during the Fab-5 era and Duke beat Michigan twice, once in the championship game. Duke didn't need Webber.
I knew Jalen back then he's been taught well. There was a time when Jalen would have taken a fin to smash sister Mary in the face. (providing he could get away with it) Oh how money and some fame can change ones outlook. I applaud Jalen, Bravo "J trap" yeah you know who this is now young brother.
Gotta say..... that’s truth. That’s how it works and that’s the way it is. This is also the truth. The players in the NBA are just the ones that either the league wants to have as their students to portray greatness..... or the ones that have the brains and skills to be there. There are a ton of bball talent out there with no book skills. I believe there should be a recruitment program to go out there and give some of those phantom talents a chance at the big stage. Just give em a chance.
Jason Howell they revolutionized the college game 5 freshman starting,Their style of play, Yes duke won but in the game someone wins and someone has to lose....
@@bryanaustin5275 I grew up homeless, there is no implication from my comment that rich kids are better, they're not. What I object to is bragging without backing up your shit. Chris Webber wasn't poor and Brian Davis came from a very poor family. I think you read into my comment what you wanted to think. My bottom line is if you can't back up the talk with your walk, STFU! Jalen Rose likes to pretend that poverty is a black thing, it ain't! Brian Davis grew up in the hood' as well and by all accounts, had the roughest childhood of anyone from either team and he was recruited by Duke but Jalen conveniently leaves that out. Niether Christian Laettner nor Bobby Hurley grew up rich. Jalen is still butt hurt they got their asses kicked every time. That Duke team had what Michigan didn't have, a grittiness to do whatever it took to win. Jalen's arrogance is that he believes because he grew up poor, black and athletic, he deserved to win. WRONG! Lastly, Michigan is a top university in this country, its not like he went to Grambling because that was his only option. How many kids were rejected from Michigan that had stellar academics and worked just as hard to get that opportunity?! Because Jalen could dribble and shoot a ball, he got the chance those other kids didn't and its paid off for him. Good for him, but his weak ass would be a nobody if he wasn't gifted by God with that ability. Sorry, but they got outplayed, out hustled and got their asses handed to him for exactly the attitude he put on display in this video.
I bet, no I guarantee Jalen Rose did not sleep with a kerosene heater in his bedroom or his house he is trying to portray something that he wasn't.... let's keep it real Jalen....
James Mccorkle What, your an ass. They all finished College. Jay is my Newphew and I'm very close to Jimmy King I can tell you, they completed their degrees fool. Jimmy is now the coach at Ecorse High right outside Detroit.
James Mccorkle And believe me, if they, meaning Cweb and Jay had stayed at Michigan they would have won the next two years. But millions when you're broke is hard to pass up. You are an ass.
James Mccorkle Again, you Know Not, what you're speaking on. But, you are white, how do I know. Because only Trump type people would just misrepresent the truth. So, peace be un to you.✌
@MrMhj26 It's not the truth, though. He is actually factually incorrect. Duke doesn't cater to one type of player. Chris Webber was recruited heavily by Duke, and Webber was tempted to play for Coach K. Laettner was just as poor as all those members of the Fab-5, it's just that Jalen Rose's racism didn't allow him to ever imagine that such a thing could be true, because he -- along with lots of other people -- just assume that people like Laettner must come from wealth. Why? Because of skin color. There were just as many players on those early 90's Duke teams from poorer areas of the globe as there were at Michigan. It's just that Jalen Rose doesn't even stop to think that such a thing could be true, because he's too busy perpetuating a false narrative.
@@marcelproust1520 C Webb at the time wasnt as poor as Jalen then. He might have grown up that way but by the time he was going to college his fam may have had a few dollars. Not necessarily saying his fam was well afluent but he wasnt dirt poor like Jalen was describing his situation.
As a 17 yr old white kid in 1990, raised by a poor single mom. I felt the exact same way about duke. I didn't play at a D1 school. But basketball was still my life.
I have much respect for Jalen Rose speaking what our society can't handle today which is truth. We get so upset when people say things that are absolute truth. We have to stop getting offended when we hear something that we know has a reality but yet can't handle. Jalen Rose comes off as being racist or Prejudice or calling out certain players like Grant Hill being an Uncle Tom. When in reality is not the Grant Hill's Uncle Tom he's just stating the fact that do preferred players and better environments then they would a kid from the hood that had Talent back in the day. So why get upset when he speaks the truth. You can even see this skip couldn't even handle the small segments that was given to them to talk about it the reality not the issue. Society please wake up and start dealing with truth and quit accepting what you just want to hear or what you think is the status quo. Our society today is way too sensitive and they need to grow up.
I felt that way then as a teen and child about Duke! Now I still feel the same but understand like Jalen why Duke recruits as it does. If they took more kids that came from tough backgrounds they could help more but that's not Duke University's goal!
Water pistol Pete!!!lol That's how you take a game that kids play and them into men, when I see Jalen,Ray,Chris,Jimmy,Rob. All those guys are successful, they made the game fun to watch, while adults used,twisted took advantage of 17,18 year old kids, they took they wins and kicked them off the campus, what did they do too the adults that got rich, Steve Fisher and his staff did a hell of a job with them kids, they played at the highest level, they can talk Turkey.
Them rich boys can ball period. They didnt picked them because rich. They picked them for there discipline n positive attitude. This dude was wrong n foul. Respect your peers rich or poor. They can ball
I disagree because coach K recruited Eaton Brand from Bronx, Corey Magette from Chicago, so that's an untrue statement and Mike Chepell from Saginaw, in recruiting u go after kids they fit your system
Robert Richardson u speak as if it’s somehow a crime or Grant’s fault his parents did well in life! Or it makes him any less real than Jalen! He’s seems to be a stand up guy as well!
Very very true points from Jalen. As a Duke fan there's nothing wrong with either side. It's called choice! It worked for Duke and it also worked for Michigan and Jalen. We all have our differences but that's the beauty of a democratic and freedom loving country and life
Chris Webber was heavily recruited by Duke. Christian Laetner grew up VERY poor as well. The reason why Laetner went to a private high school was because he had to clean early in the morning. The only one that grew up privileged was Grant Hill.
And public school is public school it doesn't matter where it's at it's still the same regiment no matter if it's in a wealthy area or not it's still a f****** Public School
It’s very easy to understand what he meant in the documentary and what he is saying in this video. He’s just saying what he felt and what he feels. Nothing wrong with that he didn’t cross a line or get disrespectful
Poverty is no excuse for pettiness Jalen Rose. Calling others a sell out look in the mirror. Grant Hill has class and appear to be of pureheat. Unlike you!
Jalen has always been a real dude to me and i have always looked up to him. Im proud to see a brother like him make it out Detroit and become a very successful man. He was only speaking on how he felt at that age and he didn't hold back like most would. it's no secret Duke has always recruited a certain type of player.

All black I absolutely agree with you.

keeping it 100% real hurts...lol

New generation plays seem to be more hollywoodish
Jealousy is a dangerous sickness that effects the mind if you allow it too.
Jalen Is 1000 on this

He's a very honest guy.
Basically, he was jealous of Grant Hill
He expressed it through insults.

Jalen rose wasn't smart enough to go to duke and is hating on grant hill
The Fab five...no rings, no degrees, and no class.
James Mccorkle What, your an ass. They all finished College. Jay is my Newphew and I'm very close to Jimmy King I can tell you, they completed their degrees fool. Jimmy is now the coach at Ecorse High right outside Detroit.
James Mccorkle And believe me, if they, meaning Cweb and Jay had stayed at Michigan they would have won the next two years. But millions when you're broke is hard to pass up. You are an ass.
James Mccorkle So my Newphew, is working at ESPN, without a degree. You are truly, a fool, not to mention you are an ass.
James Mccorkle How?
James Mccorkle Again, you Know Not, what you're speaking on. But, you are white, how do I know. Because only Trump type people would just misrepresent the truth. So, peace be un to you.✌
Jalen you right
Love that Jalen didn't back down. He also didn't let Skip put words in his mouth. He stuck to his truth and wasn't p.c. about it.
💯
"His truth." AKA his opinion. Just call it what it is.
@MrMhj26 It's not the truth, though. He is actually factually incorrect. Duke doesn't cater to one type of player. Chris Webber was recruited heavily by Duke, and Webber was tempted to play for Coach K. Laettner was just as poor as all those members of the Fab-5, it's just that Jalen Rose's racism didn't allow him to ever imagine that such a thing could be true, because he -- along with lots of other people -- just assume that people like Laettner must come from wealth. Why? Because of skin color. There were just as many players on those early 90's Duke teams from poorer areas of the globe as there were at Michigan. It's just that Jalen Rose doesn't even stop to think that such a thing could be true, because he's too busy perpetuating a false narrative.
@@marcelproust1520 C Webb at the time wasnt as poor as Jalen then. He might have grown up that way but by the time he was going to college his fam may have had a few dollars. Not necessarily saying his fam was well afluent but he wasnt dirt poor like Jalen was describing his situation.
Marcel Proust also C Webb came from a private school unlike Jalen
jalen rose a real one
As a 17 yr old white kid in 1990, raised by a poor single mom. I felt the exact same way about duke. I didn't play at a D1 school. But basketball was still my life.
Marti Hill I feel u
Marti Hill You a real nigga in my book
BUT WAS YOU GOOD ENOUGH
Stfu
Lmmfao, dude you're white! Self explanatory.
this is why I love Jalen Rose; he is just gonna be real regardless of how bad even he looks.
jkay07 hes not real he's fake anx a loser
Rest Easy so what does that make you
Can't nobody shut skip up like Jalen!
N.W. Native American man skip couldnt say much after that dose of real shit
Steven A can also..👍
I loved when he called him "Water Pistol Pete" 🤣🤣🤣
He just listening it's called having a conversation
Key statement-"I never see Coack K in Detroit" lololol
Respect to Jalen Rose he didn't back track or apologize he stayed strong and stood on his words
I have much respect for Jalen Rose speaking what our society can't handle today which is truth. We get so upset when people say things that are absolute truth. We have to stop getting offended when we hear something that we know has a reality but yet can't handle. Jalen Rose comes off as being racist or Prejudice or calling out certain players like Grant Hill being an Uncle Tom. When in reality is not the Grant Hill's Uncle Tom he's just stating the fact that do preferred players and better environments then they would a kid from the hood that had Talent back in the day. So why get upset when he speaks the truth. You can even see this skip couldn't even handle the small segments that was given to them to talk about it the reality not the issue. Society please wake up and start dealing with truth and quit accepting what you just want to hear or what you think is the status quo. Our society today is way too sensitive and they need to grow up.
I felt that way then as a teen and child about Duke! Now I still feel the same but understand like Jalen why Duke recruits as it does. If they took more kids that came from tough backgrounds they could help more but that's not Duke University's goal!
Richard Taylor Grant Hill was better than Jalen Rose, and that is why Coach K recruited him.
Water pistol Pete!!!lol That's how you take a game that kids play and them into men, when I see Jalen,Ray,Chris,Jimmy,Rob. All those guys are successful, they made the game fun to watch, while adults used,twisted took advantage of 17,18 year old kids, they took they wins and kicked them off the campus, what did they do too the adults that got rich, Steve Fisher and his staff did a hell of a job with them kids, they played at the highest level, they can talk Turkey.
Them rich boys can ball period. They didnt picked them because rich. They picked them for there discipline n positive attitude. This dude was wrong n foul. Respect your peers rich or poor. They can ball
Sims Ali I agree
duke recruited Chris Webber
I disagree because coach K recruited Eaton Brand from Bronx, Corey Magette from Chicago, so that's an untrue statement and Mike Chepell from Saginaw, in recruiting u go after kids they fit your system
Corey Maggette went to whitney young. That's a college prep school in Chicago
And every one u name went to a prep school and family had 💸
Elton Brand From.the Bronx
Elton Brand and Corey Magette was from.poor nieborhoods
Chapell went to Lathrup Village (Southfield)
I love Jalen because he was and still is a great man. Grant Hill came from money..... period.....
Robert Richardson u speak as if it’s somehow a crime or Grant’s fault his parents did well in life! Or it makes him any less real than Jalen! He’s seems to be a stand up guy as well!
squireboi318 Grant was a better player than Jalen. Jalen's family was not that poor.
Very very true points from Jalen. As a Duke fan there's nothing wrong with either side. It's called choice! It worked for Duke and it also worked for Michigan and Jalen. We all have our differences but that's the beauty of a democratic and freedom loving country and life
Chris Webber was heavily recruited by Duke. Christian Laetner grew up VERY poor as well. The reason why Laetner went to a private high school was because he had to clean early in the morning. The only one that grew up privileged was Grant Hill.
I heard coach K was in. STL last week?
To bad grant hill went to public school also
D Nice 213628 In Northern, VA. Home of some of the wealthiest zip codes in America
Grant Hill attended school in one of The wealthiest zip codes in the US. “Public school” is a little different there
To bad I'm from the same area he is an hate to tell even in the 70s that area wasn't the best also wealthy blacks back then weren't the same as today
And public school is public school it doesn't matter where it's at it's still the same regiment no matter if it's in a wealthy area or not it's still a f****** Public School
If you said private school you would have had an argument but since he went to a public school it doesn't matter because the curriculum the same
It’s very easy to understand what he meant in the documentary and what he is saying in this video. He’s just saying what he felt and what he feels. Nothing wrong with that he didn’t cross a line or get disrespectful
“ would they recruit you now??” LOL like what??!!
He real.
Keeping it real
keeping it real glad he hasn't sold out telling it how it was and is .
You said that to them on the court and then they beat you. The fab five won nothing.
And your still a Hater!
Jeff Thompson Jalen Rose is a hater.
They'll be known forever. They did something!
When keeping it real goes wrong.
Poverty is no excuse for pettiness Jalen Rose. Calling others a sell out look in the mirror. Grant Hill has class and appear to be of pureheat. Unlike you!
Spodas always got an excuse
You were right Jalen, you were not ready......
I love how the fab 5 has a nickname but the team that beat them don’t? Or is North Carolina just known as the team that beat the fab 5 😂😂😂
nah, no one else was cool enough. duhhhhh?
You never seen coach K in Detroit lol. Ok he goes to Brooklyn, Bronx , Chicago, Jersey City etc. Ignorant talk bruh
