[GRANTLAND] JALEN ROSE ON SPURS SIGNING ALDRIDGE

[spursparker9]

For the Spurs part, start on the 21 min mark

[spursparker9]

Jalen choosing OKC to win and Jordan to be on the All star team

[Mugen]

Jalen is a re tbh.

[hater]

those sunglasses are la berraquera vida!

what are those? need to get my hands on those s....

[Walter Donovan]

I can't stand Jalen. He thinks everybody loves him and knows who he is. But in reality, he is an annoying, unfunny and worthless analyst that makes ESPN's preface show unwatchable.

[apalisoc_9]

Jalen is a re tbh.

[spursparker9]

I thought he is a Spurs fan. Quite surprised that he would choose OKC to win

[hater]

calm down spring chickens.

it's WAY too early to call anything at the moment. he's just speaking out his ass. It's the re who asked him the question in July

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs fans annual posting and bashing of every mainstream analyst that doesn't pick them to win the le, tbh..

[Obstructed_View]

Where's NVE when we need him?

[spursparker9]

Jalen saying Wes Matthew and Jimmy Butler are the top 2 SG over Klay thompson.

[rastaspur]

It baffles me how this Detroit gump has managed to maintain a TV gig for so long. He's a straight up gump.

[RD2191]

Jalen is hilarious and entertaining imo. Sure, he's an idiot sometimes but he's not any worse than your run of the mill espn basketball analyst.

I didn't even watch the video. Don't really care who Jalen picks, cuz he's a re tbh

[spursistan]

One of most annoying try-hard sport media personality ever..ESPN has failed miserably in trying mould him as their own Charles Barkely

No hes not

[SPURt]

27:36 Jacoby sounds like true idiot when he says "just three years ago they won a championship, I get it". They won a championship last year... smh...

[xtremesteven33]

Nothing pleases you assholes tbh

These are my exact thoughts!! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is what ESPN is trying to do

[HarlemHeat37]

I didn't watch, either..ex-players are by far the tiest analysts in mainstream sports, it's rare that they ever provide decent analysis or takes, tbh..

I've only ever listened to Jalen Rose when he's on podcasts with Zach Lowe, but I generally ignore Rose's parts, unless I'm stuck in traffic..

[Mr. Body]

I'm not picking the Spurs to win the le.

[SPURt]

I'm not picking the Spurs to win the le.

[lmbebo]

meh. Not worth watching

ESPN has followed McDonalds marketing strategy. Play both sides of the coin.

Let me illustrate by example. McDonald's went to this mickey d's shtick a decade or so ago and went all urban and Afrocentric. Commercials were a perfect illustration. Would have one for black audiences and then a separate one that was caucasion oriented. Then a third version which is a melting pot approach. Surely everybody remembers the one where brothas, honkies and Asians are playing Rollerblade basketball on a park court.

Hilarious. Who the plays Rollerblade basketball. Try that crap on an outdoor court in an urban environment and nine times out of ten you will get curb stomped and run off.

ESPN quickly followed suit. You got the Stephen smiths and jalen roses (ABC affiliation) on there for a reason. Same for some caucasion idiots for white folks.

[Dverde]

I would only be worried if Barkley chose the Spurs to win.
