Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 with 20 comments
Jalen Rose, member of the famed "Fab Five" at Michigan University has an issue with the media's use of the term "Fab Five" when it comes to the US Gymnastics team that won the Gold Medal at this summer's Olympics. Rose voiced his opinion while speaking to 97.1 FM in Detroit. According to sources, Rose owns the "Fab Five" trademark.
"To use the nickname just points and screams of lazy journalism by the national media, that's really what it is.....It's no fault at all of the young gymnasts. But I really wish they would have come up with an even more creative tag for them and their gold medal pursuit."

I agree. Use too was tha rooster b4 tha hen came around. Jalen had a pretty good nba career and i respect wat the fab five did, but nigga please. Hell fab five aint win shit but the conference anyway
ReplyDeleteI agree with rose
ReplyDeleteWhy does he care at least the fab 5 gymnastic won gold their fab 5 lost at the championship so I think.they do deserve it
ReplyDeleteCome on dude.. that like the same thing as D12 calling himself superman when Shaq already had that nickname. its lame, dude makes soo much Damn money you tell me he couldnt get his agent to find a nick name for him? All I'm sayin is the name was chosen for someone else. and when you hear or read about the fab five.2012 Olympics is nt what I'm gonna be thinkin about or anyone should be thinking about. Be a good journalist and think of something creative and stop biting ppl other shit. Isn't that why you got into that field of work?
DeleteI agree with jalen as well
ReplyDeleteThe new fab 5 actually won, they deserve the nickname. J rose is being a Bitchild. Bitchild is a trademark phrase, owned by J rose as well. TM
ReplyDeleteStfu dumbass what the original fab 5 did opened the door for college athletes especially black athletes there's even a documentary on it...I'm with jalen
DeleteThe point I was making jokingly was that he doesn't own those words, what they did was great I witnessed it and relived it through the ESPN 30 for 30 doc. But it was w long time ago, and what these 5 young olympians have done is also great and worthy if not more than king Jackson rose Howard and webber, for the fab 5 name. But its still just a nickname, therefore shouldn't be an issue to began. This America, we celebrate greatness, I never understood why people try to argue who's better when it comes to the greats.
Deleteits kinda like me calling myself cole

I agree wit Jalen the own the Fab five name for what they did at Michigan stop hating
ReplyDeleteWho cares. Let them have the name for one summer because whenever somebody says fab five people are still gonna think about the Michigan team.
ReplyDeleteImma Michigan fan, but as been said these young girls won gold for our country let them be known as the fab 5 because thats what they were fabulous. I remember living thru the whole Michigan fab 5, but lets not forget they did alot but came up empty with the phantom timeout heard around the world. They blew it and these girls didn't.
ReplyDeleteRose needs to stop being a bitch the girls should be called fab five they won the gold for USA and the Michigan fab five didnt win anything in college and only Howard of the fab five as a champship
ReplyDeleteLol. I heard somebody mention the superman reference. Funny thing is couldve sworn ive heard jalen refer 2 d12 as superman. When we all know dwight cant tie shaq kicks! So jalen is full of it holdin on 2 a nickname from 20 years ago and its not the first time. jalen was tha same analyst/x player who tried 2 confront Stephen A. about his so called harsh critisizm of players.
ReplyDeleteIt is what it is. Its not a.big deal but jalen is right. No they didn't win but what they did transcended the game. The fab 5 had a bigger influence on basketball today then those girls in the Olympics. N if anyone disagrees with that ur bugging. On a side note Congrats to them. Plain n simple I don't want anyone jocking my style. N most ppl out there don't wont it either. Jalen is no diff. N there's only one superman. Anyone claiming to be is fraudulent.
ReplyDeleteJalen is so not being a bitch. come on a nickname is given to that person or ppl for a reason. What I said wow that guy is ice cold player he is the black mamba who do u think I'm talking about???? Anyone?

Lol. Yea u rite, only 1 and hes a 5 time champ so bad example cuz. Fab 5? c'mon man when u hear fab 5 and if u know ya american sports history then u will think Michigan basketball! Jalen being 2 sensitive about this, really. And yea it would probably bother me if i was a member of the o.g. Fab five but u dont say it. Now jalen has brought more attention 2 this olympic team from us basketball fans. Nigga we know who the fab five is...chill out.
