He CLEARLY states the 1st 10 minutes that that is how he felt as an 18 year. Jalen Rose was an all-american in high school and one of the top 10 players in the country....oh yeah, and a honor roll student. He was not lying when he stated Duke recruited a certain type of player. How heavy does Duke recruit when it comes to inner city kids? No much.

Chris Webber was very close to signing with Duke, his second choice. Not sure how that could have happened without being recruited by Duke!!
Duke has recruited several inner city kids around Birmingham. What you say is not true at all.
Rose stated that Duke black players were "uncle toms".
Webber was recruited by Duke heavily. Does that make Webber an "uncle tom"??

I guess we can include Kobe among the "Uncle Tom's"
Add LeBron James to that list as he was interested in Duke also.
Let's face it. Haters will be haters. People will say things thinking something will stick. No matter how untrue it is.

As a whole...Duke does not recruit that much in the inner city. That is know down here in Miami, that was known when I lived in Chicago. VERY few if anyone has disputed what Rose said when it comes to the type of player that Duke recruits. So, yeah, it is true what I am saying because I said they do very little recruiting in the inner city.
Terrible example. Lebron was recruited by every single college and pro leagues IN THE WORLD. They also knew from the moment he started his senior year that he was going pro. Means nothing because Akron is not Chicago, Detroit or NYC.
James listed Duke as HIS number one school of interest. Haters will hate for made up reasons.
Last I will say on this.

LMAO!! And I went to FSU and my 1st love was the University of Miami! He had absolutely NO INTENT on going to college. NONE.
Another one that had NO INTENTION of going to college. He liked Duke...but he didn't want any part of college.

Well some people, including Rose, mustn't think that you can win with 2 parent black and white kids. And can't stand Coach K for doing so.
Seemed like the Olympic team loved playing for Coach K. Of course none of the Fab 5, besides Webber, were even close to being that talented.

And your proof is what? Please make the definition of thug matches your proof.

I totally agree...
..the problem is, too many have no clue what a real thug is. So the assumption is ANYONE that has cornrows and a few tattoos...immediate thug....
Looks most likely that Rose didn't tell ESPN about the DUI because of the promotion for the upcoming '30 for 30' piece:
