I’m not arguing in support of Love. I like abusing Michigan and ESPN.Love was an odd choice, not sure racism, but atleast a dozen black players are better fits than 2021 Love. Ayton was just one of them.
The Fab 5 made 2 NCAA finals with a team of all freshman starters then sophemore starters it was impressive,
Rose played 13 years, was 6'8 could play the 1-3, could shoot, drive and pass. Scored over 14 points a game for his career, 4 ast and 3 rebs. Good shooting numbers for his time. Scored over 20 points a game in several years even.
He was a horrible defender though because he put no effort on that end. In fact, Rose was the main scorer for Kobe's 81 point game, lol
Rose was a good player, not a HOFer by any means, but Webber and Howard can both make it, so the fab 5 was legit for sure.
The Fab Five were way, way overhyped. Good but their accomplishments didn’t match the advertising. They were hyped at least as much as the Heatles but never won a championship. They weren’t as good as the Houston Cougars with Hakeem and Drexler for example (ok they weren‘t underclassmen but they were better pros). They weren’t even the best Michigan team of that era; that honor belongs to the team whose head coach was fired by Bo right before the tourney and then won six straight under Fisher to win the title. Virtually all of the Fab Five’s accomplishments were vacated anyway due to the Martin scandal. Their blatant cheating robbed Ohio State & Chris Jent for example of a Final Four appearance. So Jalen Rose and the rest of the so-called Fab Five can go **** themselves.
I feel better now.
