For the record, even though Indiana is "Hoosier Country", Jalen became an instant crowd favorite once he became an Indiana Pacer and Larry Bird gave him a lot of playing time.
@MrJaysmith1114 The fab 5 frosh year UofM and IU spit there second year IU swept Mich there Jr year we spit and mich beat you guys by like 27 and Ray Jackson and Jimmy kings senior year Mich swept Indiana so if you want to be real it was a split in those 4 years
@MrJaysmith1114 That's nice. Where is the Final Four banner for that? Oh wait......(I kid!! I kid!!)
In all seriousness, the total irony of this video is that all of these fancy highlights are against an IU team and those Indiana farmboys basically owned those Michigan hot dogs. As I remember, Alan Henderson shoved Chris Weber's last second shot right down his throat. Michigan was talented, but Indiana had the fundamentals. Fundamentals and great coaching will beat talent 85% of the time.
How dare Michigan take those "Final Four" banners down. This is a once in a life time team, I miss them so much. I almost started crying watching all these videos, Michigan doesn't even care about them anymore.
i was named after him, but my name is spelled jalaen. im glad hes good, im a freshman in a small town in indiana and i love basketball. im 6 foot 4 and hope to go far!
These guys were great, but who won this game and the Big Ten that year? Fab 5 had a losing record against only 3 teams: 1. UNC 2. Duke and the INDIANA HOOSIERS!!!
I best remember the flash and trash-talk. Larry Johnson and Stacey Augmon had thier own brand of swagger, but the Fab Five took it to a whole new level.
It's a shame that the banners from that time aren't hanging in Crisler Arena...who cares if Webber got some dough - the rest of the guys didn't get paid, why should they suffer?
I was 22 then, a native-born Hoosier and a rabid IU fan, but I loved to watch these guys, especially Jalen Rose. It was a love-hate thing. The longer shorts are no big deal now, but they really seemed alien back then.

Michigan still lost this game...Indiana only lost once in the Big Ten in 93 to Ohio State after Henderson injured his knee. With a healthy Alan Henderson, the Hoosiers would have had another National Championship in 93.
Ya not sure they ever beat Indiana in the two seasons of the fab five.. Maybe at home in the 93 season. They even said themselves if they had a better coach like Bob Knight they would be unstoppable. That was the hay day of the Big 10 and I watched as many games as I could. What is funny is the 91-92 season, the fab five would get in trouble and the bench warmers would save the day. Its really what I remember most about the Fab 5.
man they didnt have to win shit! I remember as little kid and was like what did they do last night gotta check this espn!? Man those shorts are tight! I need some black on black shoes and socks, for sure u think my bald white head will look good? Thats the fab 5!
When i first seen Jalen Rose and Chris Web it was at a National P.A.L basketball tourney in Bridgeport.Ct in like 86-87. They were something special then at age 14. Dominated the whole tourney. I have to find that book of that event and hopefully get them to sign it. the Big 10 was pretty good during that time.
SAD FIVE!!!!!!!!!!! LOSERS!!!! NO, I REPEAT NO NATIONAL TITLES FOR THEM!!!! And that was BECAUSE OF the ACC!!!! BIG TEN IS A DAMN JOKE IN BASKETBALL!!! Michigan State did not even BELONG on the floor with Carolina in the 2009 Title Game!!!
I simply pointed out the fact that you were wrong in stating that the Fab Five never beat Indiana, and this is what you come back with? BTW - what is the Hoosiers record now? 9-20? LMAO!
This video is awesome. Look at the kids in the crowd. HAHAHA! I was a kid in Ann Arbor back when this was going on, but I am sad to say I doubt Crisler will ever be that hype again. Reason: there will never be a team like this again
Is that DICKY V? I assuming the reason why Dicky V started to say that's Awesome BABY..is because of all the highlights the FAB FIVE did! It was a hightlight reel everytime they came down the floor! haha....I'm a Dean Smith...UNC fan, why couldn't he bring in the FAB FIVE..NC would appreciate ALL OF YA'LL fully..but I'm not saying Michigan doesn't.
Southwestern...I bleed blue and gold!! Proper Preperation Prevents Poor Performance...got that from my coach who played for Perry Watson who was also the J. Rose's coach.
"they werent shit" really? you are an idiot. five freshman lead a team to the final four. that isnt shit? haha you are a fucking joke. you dont have to win a championship to be something. barry sanders? charles barkely? exactly
patrick ewing, chris webber, john stockton, karl malone, t-mac, iverson, nash, the list goes on and on of people that never won or had the chance to win the ultimate prize, but were still amazing players
@DawnpatrolTrev I think he/she means like it'll be hard to find 5 players that all fit together in a perfect way that the Fab Five did. I have to agree with that statement.
@Jakeallen86 While Kentucky team with John Wall was nice its no where near that fab 5 team especially in that era . John walls team didnt make it to the final 4 or NT game
Ha ha. Too bad the Hoosiers always ended up having the last laugh against the "Fab 5." Never has so much talent won so little...not even a Big Ten Championship. (In the interest of full disclosure: I did root for Michigan against Kentucky in the 1993 Final Four.) GO IU!!
They changed the game. After the nation saw them in their baggy shorts guess what? The NBA copied them, then later even JORDAN had to wear them. They were ORIGINAL, and the NCAA will probably never see another group like that again. 5 Freshmen with talent were able to beat "teams" seniors and coaching legends.
I used to hate jalen when he was with Michigan, but later he played for the Pacers and he was alway one of my favorites. He's had such a slick game and was really a big influence in Hip hop. dude gets mad love.
