But you cannot separate the man from the player. Imagine hiring a SEAL as a political military expert and challenging him regarding military tactics because you write articles about the military but have never served.
Totally agree with that. It would've been okay if Jalen was to say that "professional" point of view beforehand, but c'mon man... You don't go bashing someone like that based on playing the game. On shows like First Take, you're hired to be a spectator of the game and give takes based on that. To go beyond that and embarrass someone who probably couldn't play on the sop re team as a senior the way he did was out of line given the context.

Eh
Jalen had his best season as a SF
I think it was a misunderstanding and Jalen took offense, and instead of addressing it calmly, he went outside his on air bubble and attacked.
Jalen Rose looks like a complete asshole here...
Players who can't make an argument always play the "When did you play sports" card.... Jalen sucks, always has... always will...
I don't think so. This is what happens when you take a desk person (writer) and put them on television where they don't have time to edit their piece.
Yeah of course if its in that context. But really, we are talking about basketball here, not military tactics. Is it easier to become familiar with basketball or military tactics? Can a human knowingly critique a general's decision to invade or attack the opposition? No. Is it easier to critique a basketball player after having seen so many basketball games? Is it easier to argue for the player to play a different way given the players on his team? Yes.
LOL @ defending skip
dude lied about his high school bball career and got called out on it.
He then compared himself to Pistol Pete
lol that was weak as , "sorry for skip" "incredibly awkward" "destroyed"
Nothing happened. I guess when you sit behind the computer/television all day, every day, that's as cutting edge as life gets
Don't look now, but it's being revisited.
They're back at it.
Skip: "My integrity and credibility have been questioned by my Twitter followers."
"My frustration over my basketball career propelled me to be here."
"All I did was feed the post."
Anyway, I admit I watch the show (can't tell you anything about American Idol or whatever the popular nightime shows are).
And I do get a kick out of Skip.
Stephen A. is going HAM right now
Idk why Jalen felt the need to bring up the fact Skip is an inferior basketball player. It's a pretty stupid, irrelevant argument.
I pulled this junk up on my work comp so I could catch the circus and Stephen A. is giving me my money's worth.
Jalen is getting butthurt again hahaha. Dude is way too sensitive for this.
Anyone can look at Skip and pretty much guess that he wasn't the greatest basketball player so that's no secret.
You know who is the greatest basketball player? Michael Jordan. And you know who is the absolute worst GM, worst basketball mind, and worst basketball talent evaluator? Michael Jordan. Just because you played doesn't mean you know about judging other's ability to play.
The other day I caught a bit of that 1st take stuff and Jalen Rose said about the Spurs "They're a good team, but I really like DeJuan Blair. I can't understand why he doesn't get more minutes". That told me everything I need to know about Jalen Rose's ability to judge basketball talent and ability. He picks out the absolute worst defensive player on the Spurs to praise.
lol, Jalen brought the from left field.
Although a guy that goes around calling people "Bosh e" better have a ing thick skin as well.
Critics have always been a part of the game. It comes with the territory. Analysts, writers and reporters aren't required to conduct themselves with class or be respectful. That's on them. Many of them make inflammatory remarks to get attention and make headlines. Those making the comments want athletes to get offended and respond, it makes them relevant. Athletes should accept constructive criticism and ignore the rest.
Thanks for the alert. This stuff is hilarious. SAS and Skip double teaming Jalen.
Skip laying the smack down on Jalen now
Jalen doesn't seem to get the concept of the show.
Where's Nick Van Exel when you need him?
It's no different than Phildo Jackson trash-talking Pop, because he never played pro ball before coaching. Jackson is a . Jalen Rose is a . But at least Jackson was better at coaching than Rose ever was at being a commentator.
Rose trollin
Somebody tell me whats going on! What did SAS say to Rose? Im at work and cant watch :/
