  • he said to their face now wha

    t skip

  • I don't think Jalen Rose know's what the "Uncle Tom" epithet really means. So Grant Hill betrayed his own ethnic group by participating in its opression? Or he was being subserviant to the White people at Duke? I know he tried to change the meaning of this some but that doesn't fly. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me. I like people that speak their mind but I think maybe Jalen is still a little bit green in the face from not being wanted by Duke. A two parent middle class home? Give it a rest

  • It's a joke that Jalen's comments got so blown out of proportion. In the documentary, he was speaking from his 17 year old view point. So idiot's like Skip Bayless criticizing them now is ridiculous. Lots of respect to Jalen Rose for speaking his mind and saying things that some people may not want to hear. His opinion is just his opinion, and many agree with that opinion also.

  • Jalen is right but you can't blame Duke for recruiting those kinds of players. It's one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Also, the kinds of players that Duke recruits are more likely to stay 4 years.

  • It honestly looks like he's reading from a script. Like all news channels. The script is on the fucking camera or something. I know it. Look at the way he's looking away every 2.5 second. Just look and you'll realize.

  • whenever i see jalen rose in a video; he always comes out of it the better man. good job jalen. its rare to see such well-spoken people on tv nowadays.

  • Jalen was just saying that's how the world viewed the Fab Five and those type of players in when he was a teenager before college basketball teams began to recruit more "inner-city kids" and players with high athleticism in order to increase their rank. He was making a point that back then, private schools didn't recruit those guys. Now, it's not a surprise to see that. And that of course has lead to the "one and done" recruiting, most notable by John Calipari and Thad Matta.

  • He's just a bitter moron. He is also mad that his "fab five" never beat Grant hill's blue devils.

  • I really think Jalen was taking a shot at Chris Webber on this one.

  • Skip Bayless (the man who asks Rose about Brand and Hill) is an absolute fucking half a fag its no wonder he is hired by ESPN which are full of these fuckin retards.

  • The reason Duke doesn't recruit in low income areas is because you have to meet certain standards to play at Duke. You have to make a certain GPA and SAT score. They don't hand out scholarships to ignorant athletes like most schools.

  • @bigfrotes9912 low gpa ands sat? dude its 2012 not 1982

  • @Blballerboy Your point? All of Dukes athletes have to have high enough scores to get into the school first before they will give them scholarships.

  • @bigfrotes9912 Yeah, like most of the low-major schools. Schools also want to maintain a certain standard or image. Some just have their priorities in different order.  Private schools need big endowments and more boosters, they want the rich family kids so they can get more money in the future.

  • jalen rose father was the #1 overall pick in the 1967 nba draft.

  • who loses cause i see all the comments saying you lose

  • Duke probably recruit for the classroom and the court.

  • Jalen Rose got into trouble by being at a "crack house" at Michigan. There are reasons why coaches like Coach K didn't recruit Jalen Rose in high school. I don't think Mike Krzyzewski should be criticized for not recruiting that "type" of player. He has the right to run his program how he wants to run it.

  • @torosloan22 That was after he went to Michigan not before. It wasn't a crack house

  • @damdra I agree calling it a crack house is a misrepresentation. I was not suggesting it happened before he went to Michigan.

  • Haha 71-51 obviously he wasn't duke material.

  • Why did that idiot ask Jalen if they did a disservice to their black heritage to go to Duke? Wtf? That was the most moronic question ever. Nobody ever does their race a "disservice" by going to a school or working a certain job or acting a certain way(other than racism). They're really prodding at Jalen trying to get him to make comments he's not trying to make here.

  • @vaibanez17 EXACTLY!

  • @vaibanez17 he asked him that question because in the film Jalen basically calls out black basketball players at Duke as "uncle tom's".

  • @vaibanez17 that's skip bayless for you.

  • @vaibanez17 because that is what jalen was seemingly implying by calling black players at duke uncle toms.

  • @vaibanez17 I think they were expanding on the "Uncle Tom" reference, which is pretty much the worst thing you could call a black dude.

  • @vaibanez17

    Jalen called them Uncle Toms.. That question directly relates to his comments about them being Uncle Toms..

  • @vaibanez17 Watch the 30 for 30 on the Fab 5 and youll know why he asked that question...

  • @vaibanez17 he asked it because that's basically what Jalen Rose said in the fab five documentary. They called Grant Hill an uncle tom.

  • I never thought Jalen Rose was the quintessential black guy who moaning about now the world is out to get him.This fucker has it better than most and he has the nerve to moan like a little bitch.Grant Hills comment but this fucker in his place.

  • @nash3timemvp

    facts become moaning when they don't fit your pleasure I see.

  • Jalen articulates his points right on.

  • That kid talks with a criminal mind.

    Stay above the fray.

  • P. 59 of 1996 book “Change The Game”: NBA player Grant Hill tells of a Georgetown recruiting visit and academic advisor Mary Fenlon asking him to read from a book. Unrelated: Ben Powers as NFL player Keith Anderson in “Florida’s Homecoming: Pt. 2” ep. of CHICAGO-set sitcom “Good Times”. In it, Florida gives Michael a gift of black leaders’ quotes and Anderson is set to marry Thelma; pull her family out da ghetto. ANDerSON: born 2/13/49—2nd b’day of Hill’s CHICAGO-born Duke coach, Mike KRZYzewSKI

  • Rose is so fucking disrespectful. Duke recruits kids from private schools because that's where the best basketball players are because the schools pour money into their athletics programs. He's just bitter, and he shouldn't be. He had a solid career, get over it already.

  • @n8lbs2010 That's NOT where the best basketball players come from. You fail at life.

  • Coachh K is the same way now & if you think jalen rose wasn't duke caliber your crazy

  • jalen rose is a nigger

    'nuff said

  • @dakogravo Fail.

  • A mature adult? Nice DUI.

    

  • Jalen Rose is a straight shooter. A man is entitled to his opinions and his are very valid. 

  • Jalen is right he was not good enough for Duke fucking idiot. Grant Hill set his ass straight. Dumbshit

  • Who cares if Coach K has never been in Detroit. Obviously, there was no National Championship caliber talent in Detroit. Jalen was not recruited by Duke because of the dumb stuff that comes out of his mouth like these "irresponsible and inflammatory remarks". I will bet you that Duke is thanking their lucky stars that they did not recruit this buffoon!

  • @kaiserklan you sound like an idiot. how can you deny jalens talent? he was a good leader and did what was needed to get the job done. your just to stupid to see what he is saying is true. he isnt bashing the duke program or coach k. he is making a simple statement saying how they recruit and what the recruits are expected of at duke

  • @mrhaha79 How do I sound like an idiot? Jalen was talented, but not Natinal Championship caliber talent. You say he did enough to get the job done, how many titles did he win? How many did Coach K win with the players he recruited instead of Jalen? Jalen and Jimmy, obviously were not Duke caliber. All that means is they were not Championship caliber. It is Rose with the problem, not me and certainly not Duke or Coach K.

  • @mrhaha79 Take notes on how I responded to that without personally attacking you or Jalen. It is a civilized way of having a conversation. You ought to try it.

  • @kaiserklan Looks like someone completely missed the whole point of the video. And I mean completely. And Jalen explained it very slowly and very precisely what he meant exactly, so you're either a complete moron because you willfully ignored those comments, or you're an imbecile because you don't understand them.

  • @Barachat I listened to it and I listened to how he "felt" as an 18 year old. I disagreed with the way he felt then and I disagree with the way he feels now. The problem with people who feel like the world owes them a living is that they never see the other side. I am completely sure that Coach K never lost any sleep over not recruiting a person or person like Rose. Coack K's record speaks for itself. He does not recruit "questionable" talent. Jalen needs to deal with that.

  • @Barachat Did you notice how I responded to that woithout calling you a name or challenging your intellect? It is a civilized way of having a conversation, you ought to try it.

  • hd

  • and now jalen is fired from espn lmao!! GO DUKE!!

  • @TheEaglesfanindc And that has what to do with Rose's comment? Idiot.

  • shut the fuck up Jalen................... Remember when Kobe dropped 81 points on your ass

  • @tahmid4777 That has nothing to do with anything, moron.

  • wowww this 360p looks like 1080

  • I'm a young black male. I understand how jalen felt because us kids today feel this way. Duke has been known to recruiting a lot of white basketball players. I have a mother and a father who make sure i dont have to resort to violence or crime to get what i need.

  • Skip Bayless..race-baiting AGAIN on ESPN. Whatashock.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • "i"ve never seen Coaoch K in Detroit." Hahaha. Lol! My main man Jalen!

    Go Blue!

  • @goblue918

    obviously he knows something, hes on espn talking about sports, and you're on youtube being a hatin bitch

  • @Canibus27 obviously other people agree with me according to the top comments you hatin bitch.

  • Skip Bayless is a piece of shit that doesn't know anything about sports. I have no idea how he works at ESPN without any knowledge of sports. I hate his guts. He's annoying as fuck. Fuck him. His name itself drives me nuts. Fuck you skip bayless. You're fucking gay.

  • @goblue918 wow you're argument against him is so compelling. You hate his guts he's annoying. You don't like his name and he's gay. wow how have you not won a pulitzer?

  • @hailmary7283 the fuck you care what I say? Stating my opinion on bayless. Hop off my dick.

  • late...anyway, I really dont see what the fuss is about. All Jalen was doing was giving his truth as he sees it through hsi eyes. Unfortunately in this country that is not acceptable. He said something that we all say in our minds when we see a boy named Tyrone Jenkins from Compton playing football or basketball for Stanford.... am i lying?

  • "i think they would recruit my kids" lmaoooo

  • Grant Hill was 20x better than Jalen Rose ever was. Grant is still playing, while Jalen's talking about 20 years ago.

  • @Travdust this isn't even a discussion about skill man.

  • @bushyyATL I know, but maybe when he was 17 that added to his resentment toward G-Hill. Along with the other things.

  • @Travdust That was a dumb comment.

  • @upabittoolate How so?

  • @upabittoolate still funny as hell to think somebody was tryin to stop kobe

  • Duke recruits smart unselfish kids that can play basketball. Alot of inner city kids dont make the grades.

  • @forshigity5000 Tell that to Sean Dockery.

  • Way to go Jalen!

    Nice to see the media give the whole story! I understand how Hill was offended, but Jalen just needed to make clear that what he said was how he felt THEN, not now.

    Also a lesson: your point gets missed when you use words like "Uncle Tom".

  • I agree with Jalen...thats real talk. It's so many kids from the inner city that can play ball, but is not seen due to them being from (the inner city).

  • fuck u skip bayless

  • FAB 5? More like FAB 4...C-Webb was unfortunately too much of a pansy to be a part of documentary where as Rose went on and said it like it is. That takes guts.

  • @nycsultan1 I hate C Webb he pisses me off. He also hates on the Raptors A lot! which pisses me off even more

  • Jalen Rose still butthurt that Duke didn't want him? Maybe your dumbass just wasn't smart enough, Jalen.

  • @DaPerceive9 University of Michigan is a really good school in its own right. But you're misunderstanding what Jalen is saying. It's not about who's "smart" enough. That doesn't mean anything. Aside from that, Jalen's level of intellect is painstakingly obvious. The Duke brand is based on an image that's contra to the inner city ethos. Also, you have to consider that Jalen is talking about how he felt as an 18yo boy; not a 38yo man. Understand the naunce.

    Out of curiosity, where did you go?

  • @upabittoolate very well said sir.

  • @jerjerjason If you'll notice, DaPercieve balked when I asked him about his own education. There's a good reason for that too.

  • @upabittoolate even tho thats how he felt at 18....its still the mentality of manny african americans in 2011.

  • @wizfan92301 Your point?

  • @upabittoolate i just made it

  • @wizfan92301 You made no point at all.

  • Comment removed

  • @upabittoolate I did, you are just too stupid to see what it was.

  • @wizfan92301 You are an imbecile. Fuck everyone about whom you care. NO ONE that calls himself "wizfan" can generate a developed idea; NO one.

  • @upabittoolate stfu

  • @wizfan92301 Eat a dick.

  • @upabittoolate again...stfu.

  • @wizfan92301 You lose.

  • @upabittoolate yo gtf.

  • @wizfan92301 You lose.

  • @upabittoolate You lose.

  • @wizfan92301 You've lost this 1. Let it go.

  • these players at DUKE if no basketball theyed be playing golf or on wall street in an office chuckling over stupid shit, you throw a street kid like jalen in that mix hed be having the music stop and everyone looking at him thats all Jalen is saying the FAB 5 were gangsta and it showed wit the ball they played wont forget that timeout tho... MEDIA loves to start wars the funny thing is grant hill was that smart for school but couldnt see the black on black crime the media was setting up F54lyf

  • Farkk the whole Fab Five thing has gotta be let go

  • Wait, now black people can be discriminatory? Can all races do this?

  • Shit Jalen, everyone had you back and saw the sense in your argument, then you get a DUI? Kinda undermined your point bro. He's still right though; Duke absolutely recruits a certain type of black player and still does. Nolan Smith? Seth Curry? Austin Rivers?

  • @cschnei08 It undermined his point? Uh, didn't Bobby Hurley, a guard who played opposite Rose in the Championship game, have some issues like that? I think your lack of history undermines YOUR point.

  • All people heard was Duke, Black Players, Uncle Tom. What they didn't listen to was "I was jealous of Grant Hill. He came from a great black family(which was what Jalen wanted) He had a father who played pro football and is a successful businessman who had a great relationship with his son(which was also what Jalen wanted) I resented that MORE THAN HIM". Which means that could've been anybody not specifically Grant Hill. Just so happens it was Grant Hill.

  • eff this uncle tom......

  • So Jalen really gets a pass for being this racist? Interesting.

  • @bdeviled11 I'm not standing up for Jalen Rose, but he makes a point to say he was an 18 year old. That is what he thought THEN, not now. He makes a very valid statement about Duke and who they recruit, and I'm white. If you watch the documentary he is definitely speaking in the past tense, and he makes a point to say he was bitter at Grant Hill's upbringing....not Grant Hill. I actually hate Michigan and the Fab 5 is only thing I've ever liked at that school.

  • @bdeviled11 You weren't listening. Smh. . . .

  • @bdeviled11

    Racist...are you stupid? Are you even paying attention? Christ...some of you white people will do ANYTHING to try and label black people RACIST. Look up the definition of 'racist' before posting garbage again. Nothing he says has anything to do with racism

  • Didn't Duke beat the Fab 5 ???

  • Skip Bayless appreciated Jalen Rose giving it to the other team? lol

  • jalen says he's mature, but he hasn't shown much of it lately. Caught for speeding after his DUI hearing? Come on man

  • I THINK ITS FUNNY HOW DUKE KILLED THEM EVERYTIME THEY PLAYED MICHIGAN! DUKE 4 LIFE!!!!!

  • @HPMainMafia u wack

  • Jalen is just relaying how most blacks always felt about Duke.

  • The FACT is Duke DOES recruit a certain type of players. Thats the truth. They DO NOT recruit inner-city urban low-income kids...Thats a fact....ALso, he said thats how he felt at 17 years old! Not now. He had no filter a most kids don't. But everybody overlooks that. Does he think Grant Hill is an uncle tom? NO cuz he's not. And NOBODY has YET to address the RACIST LETTER FROM DUKE ALUMNI........NOT EVEN THE UNIVERSITY.........

  • If you hate Jalen Rose like me follow me on twitter at MercedesBenz412

  • @Bsim412 i like how you hate jalen rose for his uncle tom comments and your twitter name is mercedesbenz

  • All that needs to be said to Jalen is "TIMEOUT" brought to you by Chris Webber NCAA Championship against UNC '93!

  • A lot of the black community still feels that way about Duke... Whenever you hear a black guy say Duke lacks "swagger" or "edge" that's what they mean.

  • I Definitly Have So Much More Respext for Jalen Rose Right now... Keeping it Real

  • Why the fuck are they on his ass? Jezus Christ...

  • my name is Jalen

  • @SwaggKiddJay Want a cookie?

  • @MrSodaBelly lol yess yess i do

  • Rose was just keepin it real
