"Just re-watched 'Fab Five' + revisited the Jalen/Grant Hill thing"
Tue Jan-29-13 09:41 AM by Orbit_Established

  

          



a) Good documentary. Strangely, Webber's absence
didn't really detract. If anything, it lent to more
camera time for Ray Jackson and Jimmy King, and both
were great. Jalen, of course, stole the show.


b) Now that I have some distance from it: Grant Hill
should be ashamed of himself for the response to Jalen.
Literally there was nothing wrong with what Jalen said. You
have to be an idiot or pathologically insecure to think that
he was communicating anything other than the sentiments of a
18 y/o kid. And Jalen was actually pretty eloquent. He literally
said "I resented that (his privilege)" more than he did the player.

           Not in terms of grammar; in terms of thought.

                he was in a tough spot
Jan 29th 2013

                     Fair enough. He just shouldn't have responded at all, though.

           grant DIDN'T care until they failed to be CLEAR
Jan 29th 2013

           If that's Grant's beef, then I've lost even more respect for him.
Jan 29th 2013
24
                whether you've lost respect for him is not the issue...don't matter
Jan 29th 2013
