I played at SC during the Bush-era.
Jalen Rose: Chris Webber Needs to Say "I'm Sorry."
- Thread starter Walt
- Start date
You can tell Jalen wants and BEEN wanting to square all this away, but Chris don't return his calls, answer his emails or do anything to address it. Most grown folk don't like having loose ends hanging especially when they can easily be addressed with one conversation. Jalen brings this up because he's trying to bait C Webb into talking to him because all other options have failed.
And honestly, given their history and brotherhood, C Webb owes Jalen at least a conversation.

Jalen has become so corny he's almost unbearable...I have the ultimate respect for what he's done in the community with his leadership academy so I won't go in on him too hard.. But it's clear he's allowed folks like Bill Simmons to put a battery in his back.. He needs to stop trying to speak for the whole FAB 5 (who he acknowledges have only been in the same room together twice since 1994)...

I listen to his podcast and he comes off like the old n1gga in the club or a male groupie...Every rapper is his "family"..He stays snitching on NBA players and intimate details of the league just to amuse voyeurs like Simmons and Jacoby...
He does stuff like saying he promises that the entire Fab 5 will come to the Final 4 of Michigan won without even running it by any of them first.. I think that was the last straw with Webber...He just seems like the type of dude that will always let his mouth write checks that his homeboys have to cash...

Any Black man saying Jalen is a c00n needs to be dragged behind a truck.

how dare he say if uofm makes it to the final four that the fab five would come. Guess he needs to clear everything with Chris webber since he thinks he's better than the rest of them. All these rappers he shout out more than likely grew up loving the fab five and wanted to kick it with him once they got in that circle.
Everything in life doesn't need closure or a happy ending.
Jalen need to stop be homotional n leave Chris Webber alone.
Ya shared tha Fab 5 experience, so leave it at that.
Jalen lookin like a scorned female, smmfh

Everyone gets older, why is it wrong for an older guy to still be into the culture he grew up with? And if he has personal relationships with these rappers and other NBA players, why is that bad? Its not like he's lying about it. That's part of his appeal actually, he's a guy who has seen both sides and has a unique perspective. A lot of players can't articulate their experiences and intertwined culture of basketball and Hiphop and few of these analysts can speak on anything related to the game or the culture because they never lived it.
And Jalen might be a lil cocky but what successful person isn't? He has the highest profile of any member of the Fab 5 so has become the unofficial spokesperson for the group. But if Webb truly has a problem with Jalen, he should hash it out with him personally as Jalen has been trying to get him to do in ANY medium for years.
I don't see why any grown man would let a solvable problem linger, C Webb is being kind of childish over the issue
Jalen has every right to talk about it everytime. ESPECIALLY now that Webber is about to make a documentary about it without including anyone else from the Fab 5. How bogus is that. I mean damn, you can't even take a seat a chop it up with your homies you made history with? I think Jalen has the right to be upset about it, Chris is really being bogus imo.

If you don't have a problem with other grown men speaking and making commitments for you with entities that you have had conflict with then okay...I don't know what to tell you breh..
Meek Mill was 4 last time the Fab 5 was together.. I doubt he grew up looking up to them...
None of this makes Jalen a bad guy..I can just see how he can be viewed as annoying and extra...

So those things make you exempt from being a c00n?
That thought process makes you a c00n and I'm not even joking. Only a c00n would think like that
Cuz the shyt you said has literally NOTHING to do with IF YOU ARE A c00n OR NOT

I have many friends I grew up with and am still friends with, but even ones that I have grown apart from, they could call me TODAY with an issue, problem or grievance and I'll address it straight up.
In fact, I had a similar situations like this happen to me and one of my close homies I grew up with. Me and my man Jason went on a trip to ATL a few years back and he ended up doing some dumb shyt that ended up costing everyone some money and wasting everyone's time and when we got back home, other friends asked about the trip and I basically said we had fun but Jason kinda fukked us for a certain point. Jason was mad at me and didn't talk to me AT ALL for almost two years because he felt like "I put his business out in the streets". I didn't even know he was mad at me until his wedding was coming up and I got no original invite. As SOON as I was told he was mad at me, I called him up that hour and hashed it out with him, I felt like, man you cost us ALL money and time, I'm not mad over it, but you damn sure I'm gonna address it when asked, I paid the right to. We squared it away, but it did reach a point where things were heated, but we needed that to get past that.
C Webb ain't gonna have nothing but hate and anger in his heart until he addresses it, then he'll be like "what was I mad for all these years". My homie even admitted he was being immature and his anger was getting the best of him over it, but I get it because nobody likes to admit when they are wrong. C Webb is working through that right now.
