Didn't watch. Heard/read Webber wasn't in it?

Who were the Fab Five?

It was excellent. Didn't do a lot for CWebb and the Martin thing, but maybe he doesn't deserve much either.

But as far as just the fab 5, it brought back lotsa memories about those guys. It was cool as hell.

I was thinking if CWebb did get all that cash, the other would have known. He wouldn't been able to hide that amount of cash. Unless he got it around the time of the draft.

Man, it's too bad this film and thread wasn't made a few years ago, when this was THE forum to be for entertainment.

just watched it... my expectations were too high. thought there was too much jalen rose pontificating, too much of a "michigan basketball 1991 season edition" type stuff, and webber's absence was missed more than i thought it'd be.

i wanted more about just the fab five buz. how crazy crysler was back then.

that and ray jackson (or was it jimmy king?) just came off as a complete baffoon thoughout.

they should have included hardaway jr's takes to rescue this thing.

Rose is horrible. Among the worst they've got at ESPN.

Definitely their TBeau.

Glenn

I disagree totally, I think he's one of the few straight shooters, doesn't tow the company line.

Timone
03-14-2011, 08:22 PM
No problem with his opinions. He's just unable to articulate them. Again, like myself.

He's certainly no Emmitt, though.

oh yea, i have a link if anyone wants it.

I have newfound respect for Jalen. I thought he summarized things pretty well.

I thought they covered the buzz around the team pretty well too. I mean they were talking about how everything they wore sold and stuff.

Grant Hill’s Response to Jalen Rose (http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/16/grant-hills-response-to-jalen-rose/)


Snap.

Tahoe

lol.

To defend Jalen, he was saying what he thought as a HS kid who had a hard life growing up. I think the feelings he had were understandable.

Grant kind of rips that thinking then goes and defends himself by naming profs of African history or something. It seems like he could have just let all that go.

Desmond Howard agrees wit me.

I respect @realgranthill33 (http://twitter.com/realgranthill33) but it's sad to see him feel the NEED to defend himself & his family against thoughts of teenagers 2 decades ago.

i liked grant hill's response, but 1) rose clearly was speaking about his feelings as a teenager, 2) calling the grant hills of the world 'uncle toms' is stupid, but rose's resentment about duke not recruiting the roses of the world is fair.

jason whitlock had a good piece on this too http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/ESPN-The-Fab-Five-documentary-Jalen-Rose-Chris-Webber-Juwan-Howard-Jimmy-King-Ray-Jackson-031511

Highest rated ESPN documentary ever.

Timone
03-16-2011, 07:36 PM
I'll check it out if it's half as good as the 30 for 30 documentary on "THE U"

Fuck you asswipe.

These freshman came from nowhere and scared the shit outta Duke.

Timone

How many times did they play each other?

Tahoe
03-16-2011, 08:19 PM
Twice and the Dushkies swept us.

Didn't Hill's response kind of prove Jalen's point? I mean Hill writes a fuckin book in response to it. Who the fuck does that? Not some cat that comes from where Jalen does.

I was a lil surprised by the haters of the fab 5 out there. Jim Nantz, etc. Bukdow must have a got a hook in peeps.

Watching for the first time. Good stuff.

I have to see it in its entirety eventually.
