Mr. Jalen Rose. I am a Detroit, Michigan native born in the late 1960's. Your work remains amazing & I love the soul you bring to all your work. One side note, I saw you & the Fab 5 last weekend at a home game at U of M. What was disturbing was that you did not mention your predecessors... Mr. Glen Rice & Company who won a National Championship prior to your tenure... Please note why you did not mention one of Detroit's finest... Mr. Basketball out of Flint Michigan, Mr. Glen Rice? Keep it real sir. As you have much grace & gifts as an exceptional former NBA rock solid player... Detroit never fit in with Hollywood...
