Jalen Rose hilariously reacts to fans reminiscing about Freaknik incident with 'Fab 5'
During his college career, Jalen Rose was known for being part of the most historic recruiting classic. However, a documentary recently revealed a shocking experience he had outside of basketball.
While at Michigan, Rose was part of the "Fab 5." This was a collection of freshman who were on the fast track to making the NBA. Aside from Rose, other notable members included Chris Webber and Juwan Howard.
In the new documentary on Hulu "Freaknik," Jalen Rose details some events that transpired during his time at the university. He told a story of how he pulled up to Freaknik in a car that he paid for off shooting dice.
As fans rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the story, Rose decided to engage with some.
Rose would go on to play in just over 100 games with Michigan across three seasons. After averaging 19.9 points as a junior, he'd forego his senior season and put his name in the NBA draft.
The Denver Nuggets would end up drafting Rose with the 13th overall pick in 1994. From there, he'd go on to have a 13-year career in the league.
