Embedded it for you.

I remember Jalen Rose saying that he was the very first person named Jalen. He said his momma or granny created the name lol, I never fact checked it but he definitely was the first Jalen in the NBA.

He’s the first famous Jalen but I know “Jalen”been a name well before whenever he was born

Jalen does tend to be the standard biracial black/white name :banderas:

Jalen Duren being an exception :hubie:

Are you sure all these cats are biracial and not just the fact that black people come in different shades like Hurts.

Some I guess, like Green and Jaylin William also have some Asian or Samoan thing going on

I really do think it’s facts though :mjlol:

We’ve never know any other Jalen other than Jalen Rose and all the Jalen’s that came after. Dope name though, I always liked it. Just too many Gen Z and Alpha kids named Jalen
