Jalen Rose

He was a member of the 'Fab Five' at Michigan in the 90s; He helped lead the Indiana Pacers to three consecutive Eastern Division Finals appearances

Jalen Rose is a prominent figure in the world of basketball, both as a former player and as a sports analyst. Born on January 30, 1973, Rose gained national attention as a member of the University of Michigan's "Fab Five," a group of talented freshmen and sophomores that revolutionized college basketball in the early 1990s. Alongside teammates Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson, Rose helped lead the Wolverines to back-to-back NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship games in 1992 and 1993. The "Fab Five" became known for their bold style, on-court swagger, and cultural impact, leaving a lasting legacy in college basketball.

After his successful college career, Jalen Rose transitioned to the NBA, where he played for six different teams over a 13-year career. Most notably, Rose was a key player for the Indiana Pacers, where he teamed up with Reggie Miller to help the franchise reach three consecutive Eastern Conference Finals and the 2000 NBA Finals. Known for his versatility as a small forward, Rose averaged 14.3 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game over his career. His ability to score, distribute, and defend made him a valuable asset to every team he played for, and he retired in 2007 as one of the most respected players of his era.

Following his retirement from professional basketball, Jalen Rose transitioned into a successful career as a sports analyst. He became a familiar face on ESPN and ABC, providing expert commentary on NBA Countdown and Get Up! Rose also co-hosted the popular ESPN talk show Jalen & Jacoby alongside David Jacoby until late 2022. His insightful analysis, charismatic personality, and deep knowledge of the game have made him a trusted voice in sports media. In addition to his work on television, Rose is the author of the New York Times best-seller "Got to Give the People What They Want" and the producer of the ESPN documentary "The Fab Five," which chronicles the impact of his iconic college team.

Beyond his contributions to basketball and sports media, Jalen Rose is also a dedicated philanthropist and educator. He founded the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, a public charter high school in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan, with the mission of providing underserved students with a high-quality education and opportunities for success. Rose's commitment to giving back to his community and empowering the next generation of leaders has earned him widespread admiration. His work both on and off the court continues to inspire fans and young athletes alike.
