Basically touched on how talented he was, how he probably should've been the best PF ever but injuries obv. got him. Talked a little about how they first met, when C-Webb joined their childhood team.

And then they kind of got into if there's bad blood between them. Jalen was saying how they don't really talk, but if they see each other it's all good. And he might have a little resentment because he thinks C-Webb is subconsciously dismissing everything relating to Michigan because of what happened there.

Jalen has somewhat stated that from the moment the "timeout" happened it fractured their friendship, that Webber wanted to distance himself from everything that happened at Michigan because of just that one moment. it weighed on him that much.

What Jalen doesn't really like to comment on is both of their slight resentment to each other as who lead the Fab 5, most agree it's Jalen because he was so vocal Webber might feel slighted because he clearly was the most talented and thought he was.

He is so honest about everything. It will probably get him in trouble a few times, but fukk it, it's his views.

The other thing, and unlike Barkley, Jalen is not a hater. He never eviscerates a player based on hate or a bias.

Sam Mitchell is probably shaking his head right now.

"I'll just say this to dead the issue ask him (Sam Mitchell) why he got fired as the Nets assistant coach? Since he wanna take shots; POW, man down. He didn't reach his potential".

I was dying when Jalen said Sam was sensitive and then started singing the Ralph Tresvant song. "he's lucky I like him".:laff:

He actually said just that in the podcast. That Webber was the most talented but that he was the leader and got any blame anytime someone on the team did something wrong.

And yeah I been hyping up that Jalen Rose podcast and that new one on Grantland called The Trenches. Two of the only podcasts I listen to on the regular.

at least with Simmons you know they are going to talk about real shyt that is going on out on the court. Match-ups, etc.. Anyone else from the Disney family and it's about "will to win" and personality traits.. dumb shyt that only women would be interested in.

Simmons is a true hoophead too. He'll probably the only cat on that Countdown show who'll watch League Pass with regularity. Like Nuggets-Warriors-on-a-Saturday-night type shyt.
