Jalen Rose

Current ESPN/ABC studio analyst and NBA veteran Jalen Rose is one of the few professional athletes to maintain a high profile post retirement. Known as "The Natural," Jalen was part of the legendary "Fab Five" from University of Michigan, the team of freshman who changed the face of college sports. Jalen produced the ESPN documentary "The Fab Five," chronicling the glory years of the five freshman, which became the highest rated ESPN documentary of all time. As a philanthropist, Jalen recognizes the chances he had over some of his inner city counterparts. His foundations, Jalen Rose Foundation/Charitable Fund and Jalen Rose Leadership Academy (JRLA), create life-changing opportunities for under-served youth. As a speaker, Jalen recounts his story as a youth on the streets of Detroit, as a member of the "the greatest class ever recruited" in a pivotal time in college sports, and about his commitment to education and giving back.
