Jalen Rose: Settling Down and Settling In South of the Bend

It's almost 10 years since the Fab Five (Rose, Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King) took the floor as the all-Freshmen starting squad from the University of Michigan. If the Fab Five were to reunite as a traveling pro squad, how do you think it would fare? We'd like to know what you think. Please leave your comments in this public guest book so we can share your thoughts with other visitors.

I don't think it would be a good idea. It's clear that Mr. Rose has developed into his own person as well as Juwan. To go back would mean re-living those Michigan, "we can win games, but not the one that counts". For King and Jackson it would be good. They need the money and a job. It's sad that these two role players did not recieve the hype that the others did, but sometimes the good guys are left behind. Mr. Webber has his own issues.I need not to say anything about him!

While no one can deny that each of the "Fab Five" has talent, it is doubtful that such a reunion would be successful at the pro level. While Rose and Webber have raised their game to the next level, the other members of the "Fab Five" have been noticeably silent.

I wonder what new trends a traveling Fab Five squad would create? I also seriously doubt that the Fab Five now could even function as a TEAM. Who knows whether Jackson and King have the "goods" to play the round ball with Howard, Webber, and Jackson? Interesting question though.

Regardless of whether the Fab Five reunites as a traveling pro squad, Jalen and CWebb will do so in the '01-'02 NBA season after the Pacers trade Jonathan Bender, Al Harrington and future draft picks to Sactown for Mayce III.
Contrary to Latrell Spreewell's statements, Webber won't be a Knick. He's Indiana bound because: 1. Jalen and CWebb are buddies from way back and Rose has more pull with Chris than Latrell (hey Chris, remember how Jalen talked you into getting that dog tattoo as a teenager :-)); 2. Indianapolis is not too far from Detroit so CWebb can see his family often; 3. Indianapolis is a small enough city so that CWebb will avoid the drama and troubles of a big city; and 4. Combining Jalen, CWebb and Reggie will re-establish Indiana as franchise to be reckoned with.
I've watched CWebb play since his Detroit PAL days and Jalen since he was in high school. I can't wait to get rid of my DirectTV NBA Season Pass, drive to Conseco, pick up my home game comp tickets and root, root, root for my homeboys. YEAH BABY :-)!

Well, i think they would do excellent, but my main reason for writing this is in hopes of gettitng Chris Webber on the Pacers where he belongs. Him and Jalen aaaand Reggie would easily bring home a Championship. C'mon Webber, get back to hanging out with Jalen on the court full time. You guys would rule the NBA!

While it would be awesome to see them play together again, I don't think that they would be as successful as they were in their college days. Webber, Rose & Howard would be dynamic, but Jackson & King would not provide the way they used to. W/ neither one of them in the NBA, all the hype would be on Rose, Webber & Howard.

IF THE FAB FIVE WERE TO UNITE AS A TRAVELING PRO SQUAD NOW, THERE WOULD BE TROUBLE FOR A LOT OF PLAYERS ACROSS THE WORLD. THE FAB FIVE WOULD DOMINATE IN EVERY POSITION BECAUSE OF THEIR RAW TALENT, INCRASED EXPERIENCE AS PROS, AND THE RELATIONSHIP THEY BULIT AS FRIENDS & TEAMMATES. THE FAB FIVE ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST COLLEGE SQUADS EVER PUT TOGETHER AND THEIR IMPACT STILL LIVES ON!

All I have to say is that some things don't change, and that wisdom and skill for that matter comes with age. If you got as much game as the Fab Five, I don't think the skill ever leaves

They would dominate. rose, howard and webber plus any other two guys would win a championship. bringing in jackson and king would be all the more sweeter. lets bring in maurice taylor and jamal crawford to back up these guys.

That would be beautiful. Poetry in motion just like in the Michigan days. I doubt they would win a championship, but I would love to see them play together again. They had a chemistry that has never been and never will be matched.

Not a good idea at all, they would stink so bad, Rose and Howard are washed up, and im not even sure Jackson and King are even alive, Webber would have to carry the team, the only way they would even do anywhere near good is if they got an extra time out! hahaha lol
