No one has posted about Jalen Rose?

[Worldwide]

Can't believe no one has mentioned this. Last night during the second half of the McDonald's game they were discussing Ben Simmons and how going to LSU hurt him. They mentioned lack of talent, coaching, etc and most of the kids in the McDonalds game said they rather be surrounded by talent and go to a power team like Kentucky than go to a situation like Simmons at LSU . So one of the commentators asked the question to Jalen and Jason Williams if you were in high school today what school/coach would want to play for now. Jalen said UConn and Ollie.

Yeah there was a good 3-4 minute stretch when they were giving uconn and Ollie praise. Jalen goes (I think) I see you Ollie, I'll be up soon. Or something like that. If there's a replay it's in the second half when rique is in.

Yeah, not trying to tell him it doesn't deserve a thread, just explaining why people might not have thought to make one.

Lol I know. I felt the same when. But it's good bc then it won't hijack the thread and people can then talk about alterique and the game

This is the only time I'll allow Jalen Rose's opinion(SP) to matter in my life.

 

[Palatine]

This subject deserves tow or three threads. That's what bandwidth is for.

Doesn't Jalen know that we overpay Ollie by at least a couple million to just sit on his hands on the bench?!

He likes to knock Duke. (Not in a very PC way.)

As opposed to one thread per Clinton email, right Pal?

He said if he couldn't pick Coach K, it'd be Self or Calipari.

Jalen's got more pull on TV though. I'll take it! Marketing.

The list of guys who DIDN'T play with Ollie can't be all that long.

Wasn't he the clown who said that black kids playing at Duke were Uncle Toms? What an absolute shock that would play for a successful young black coach if he had the choice now.

Are you referring to his perception of Duke players when he was at Michigan? What he talked about feeling in the 30 for 30? Or did he say something like that now.

He was talking about his mindset when he was at Michigan, and he wasn't alone in that way of thinking.
