Jalen Rose is a Detroit-born guard-forward whose Chicago chapter came at the peak of his scoring powers and whose cultural footprint runs through the Fab Five. At the University of Michigan he joined Juwan Howard, Chris Webber, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson in the 1991 Fab Five class that reached the 1992 and 1993 NCAA championship games. Drafted 13th overall by Denver in 1994, he played 13 NBA seasons, most notably with the Indiana Pacers teams that reached three consecutive Eastern Conference finals and the 2000 NBA Finals, winning the league's Most Improved Player award in 2000. In February 2002 he was traded to the Chicago Bulls, where he played through the start of the 2003–04 season before moving to Toronto. He later became a prominent ESPN analyst and founded the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy in Detroit. Born in Detroit, he carries no Chicago birthplace claim in this record.

The record

• Also known as: Jalen Anthony Rose

Notes

Sports Encyclopedia roster CTL-SPE-0343. No authoritative Basketball-Reference/NBA player page was retrieved in this pass, so the record is graded Verified on three independent secondary sources rather than on a primary statistical source; upgrade the source base at merge. Born in Detroit — no Chicago 'from' relationship. Curator's Judgment (DRAFT): Rose's Bulls tenure was brief but high-usage, and his Fab Five pairing with Chicago-born Juwan Howard makes him a connective figure in CTL's Chicago–Michigan basketball corridor. Photo correction (head, at assembly): staged Commons file did not resolve; verified subject file substituted — see media layer.
