How GOOD Was Jalen Rose Actually?

[@rayw8363]

Jalen Rose was definitely a solid player in his prime, he smoked the Lakers in that Game 5. But Rik Smits guarding Shaq was barbecue chicken.

[@RennWickam]

Anyone guarding Shaq was lol. Just 1 year later DPOY Dikembe Mutombo got decimated by the Big Diesel too

[@josefmayores5358]

@@RennWickam not anyone ben Wallace can gaurd the big fella one on one

[@Ehh-nx7nk]

@@josefmayores5358 it was more of a team effort, they did a full court press the whole game to make shaq have to step out of the paint. Also Kobe was being selfish. But Ben probably defended him better than anybody ever tho

[@rayw8363]

@@Ehh-nx7nk You spittin facts, it was definitely a strategy and team effort there. Ben Wallace was excellent no question though, I’d probably put older Sabonis slightly above Ben Wallace though… He stifled the MVP “I will eat your children” Shaq in that 2000 WCF.

[@mrmacross]

@@rayw8363 Yeah, teams that had multiple talented, physical big men could slow down Shaq. No individual player, though, could wing it alone. Indiana also had Dale Davis to help, but one of those two guys fouled out in games 1-4 and Smits had five in both games 5-6. You had to guard prime Shaq by committee.

I think someone made a video about it, and most of Kobes 81 points weren't on Rose at all, not that it really matters for his legacy, but it's interesting the dude who actually defended Kobe the most on those shots got a little lucky and never got trash talked for it

Larry Bird brought out the best version of Jalen Rose. It's a shame that Bird had to retire from coaching with his health problems.

Juwan Howard. Rose kept his name relevant with his analyst gig and being on ESPN all of the time. Howard was on the all rookie team, an Allstar and all nba. Rose had a bigger role when his team went to the finals, but Howard is the only player from the fab 5 with rings

[@mrmacross]

@@KB-qk1ic I think you can make the argument that as the leading scorer on a team that made it to the Finals and had a chance to win it all, Jalen's peak accomplishments are more significant than Juwan Howard's All-Star and 3rd-team All-NBA nod for a losing team that missed the playoffs.

Wow it all makes sense now about the lack of small forward talent in the early 2000s NBA. There just weren’t any star forward wings during that time.

[@MrMixItup]

Jalen was a good player, he ALWAYS had outstanding teams that he played on. His senior year at Southwestern High School that entire roster went D1. In college much of the same, he played with a ton a talented players. It was a different role in the pros, he rarely had the opportunities to play Jalen Rose basketball. The NBA disrespected him as a player because of the pride that he had within himself. Jalen NEVER had to be humble because his high school and college teams were SO GREAT.

I genuinely had no idea Jaylen Rose was 6'8". that kind of blew my mind.

[@mrmacross]

I'm not a Kobe apologist in the least. I get annoyed when people say Kobe should've won MVP in 2000 because of his game 4 heroics. Still, I have to point out that Kobe's per-game numbers in the 2000 Finals look bad because Rose took out his ankle and Kobe finished game 2 with only 2 points in 8 minutes played. If you removed game 2, Kobe averaged 19 ppg that series. On top of that, Kobe's ankle was injured badly enough that he missed the rest of game 2 and all of game 3, so I'm going to assume his numbers would've been even better if Rose didn't injure Kobe. (BTW, the fact that the Lakers won game 2 despite essentially not having Kobe seems to be worth pointing out to the guys who only look at game 4).
