Jalen Rose G Ex-Pacers

As if we didn't hear enough about Jalen Rose right now with his whole 'Fab 5' argument with Coach K, we find out that the ESPN analyst is set to appear in court in April after being cited for suspicion of drunken driving at 2am on March 11 in West Bloomfield Township, MI.

Rose declined to take a Breathalyzer test but submitted to a blood test at the hospital. The roads were icy and the officer believes the icy roads had something to do with Rose's car sliding off the road...oh really? Ya think? Ice may have helped a car SLIDE off the road? That's good, because if your pavement was making cars slide, you might have a problem. Sounds like somebody is trying to help a Michigan favorite evade trouble.

Rose had a solid 13-year career as a shooting specialist and excelled defensively until age started catching up with him and his knees couldn't handle both ends of the floor. He was the first Pacers player to lead the team in scoring in 8 years other than Reggie Miller during the 99-00 season. He led his team to the NBA finals that year but unlike his shorts in Michigan, they landed just a bit short against the Lakers.

Rose's attorney says they look forward to fully working with Michigan authorities in resolving the problem...something tells me they aren't really looking forward to it.

Update: Video and the 911 call from Jalen Rose's arrest have been released HERE.

Ron Artest F Los Angeles Lakers

Ron Artest does 2 things:

1. Play Defense Hard
2. Party Hard.

The former first round pick by the Chicago Bulls has had about as interesting a career as you can have not being  named Dennis Rodman. Artest won NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2004, and won a championship with the Lakers last season, but he is more known for what he has done off the court. Specifically, the Pistons-Pacers brawl. After fouling Pistons Ben Wallace, and being shoved which led to an altercation by the scoring desk, Artest lay down on the scorers table, when a fan threw a Diet Coke on him. Then the shit hit the fan, he jumped into the stands and incorrectly picked a fight with the wrong person. That led to an all out Pacers on Pistons fan brawl, which ended up on the court with Artest punching a fan who was verbally abusing him. He received the longest suspension for on-court conduct in NBA history, 73 games and playoffs.

Other off the field conduct that has led to his (in?)famous career is proclaiming that he drank Hennessey Cognac in the locker room at halftime while with the Chicago Bulls, showing up to practices wearing a bath robe, applying at Circuit City so that he could get an employee's discount, his rap album, a domestic abuse charge, and just overall being a total bad ass.
