Dope to see how much more nuanced these convos are now. Salute to Jalen even though he’s another guy who was actually from that.

Quality take from Jalen. It just falls flat when you look at all the young guys from Ja’s background or much worse across all major sports who get drafted every year & carry themselves better.
Hes clowning right now & has to tighten up, there’s just no way around that.
Also still bothers me that Mike Wilbon has a job & is still commenting on these kinds of topics.

people really need to remember how young these guys are when they’re made the public face or one of the faces of these billion dollar companies
but with jalen it’s a deeper conversation
jalen had a famous father that isn’t in his life but dude right in the nba.. and the degree them dudes were screwed and the manner they were discussed when at Michigan
it’s good that jalen is approaching the Ja situation with empathy
but from the outside looking in.. I could easily see how the way people discussed the fab five vs say duke guys, I could easily see how that could impact a person.. hell even the lack of empathy people in general had for nba players back then i could see it, since everyone expected those guys to have the clean image jordan had (even though we know jordan was human too)

“Jordan was human”
That man played 36 holes of golf, drank 10 beers and dropped 52 that night. Most people who can do one of those things couldn’t do the other in the same day (36 holes/50 points + 10 beers may be doable than I think doe). He did all 3.
He’s probably Top 3 athletes (not just NBA players) that benefited from not playing in the social media era

could only imagine if we knew all the shh jordan was up to vs the image we got sold
jalen ain’t had that benefit going for him.. media decided what the story was they wanted to tell about the fab five and about him..
Michigan, Nike and college basketball as a whole made a crap ton of money off them dudes.. I’d be bitter/angry too if I was continuously reading shh about myself knowing what the actual deal was

Man, I went the winter/spring after I graduated which was the sweet spot because I was working but still young and close enough to college that my debauchery gene was still active. Went HAM from the morning prior to departure until our afternoon flight back however many days later. Woke up the next day for work looking like Team USA John Wall
At the time I was working with a bunch of washed late 20s to late 30s dudes and you would swear they were NTers the way they rushed to my desk and asked for pics before I could even log in
Even outside of the drinking, I would recommend it for anyone who hasn’t gone. That city knows how to party. I also went back many years later with a girlfriend and it was a completely different experience but there’s actually a lot to do/see and tons of great food

Well, that's all a part of the experience lol. I don't see how it can be what it is and stay relatively clean

Only place haven't been is Miami (and Chicago- I see it jumping)
I still say Austin is up there and better than most of LA
Honorable mention: San Diego
San Fran is also fun

Is this record record getting broken by any active players?
I think there are capable players but with the way the game is played now where you got 1-5s bring it up in transition, it seems more difficult

6th Street is over rated.
