An article by Senor Kaos

The long basketball shorts, the black socks, the attitude on the court, the Nike Air Huaraches, the infamous time out, and the five young African American men who changed the game of college basketball, better known as the “Fab Five.” Jalen Rose, Ray Jackson, Jimmy King, Juwan Howard, and Chris Webber were five University Of Michigan Freshman who went all the way to the NCAA National Championship in 1991.

20 years later, four of them sit down (minus Chris Webber) to talk about Michigan, Duke, the media, death threats, scandel, and any and everything else. This is pretty much what every basketball and Hip Hop head will be watching this evening at 9pm.

Check out this lil clip below to get you caught up too speed.

Because of the Fab Five I BEGGED my mother for a pair of Nike Air Huaraches. I wore black crew Nike socks, and I sagged my basketball shorts so they would look longer. Today these are things that commonplace, but back in 1991 all of this was unheard of. These young men brought something fresh and exciting to the game at the time. Even my mother was cheering on the Fab Five.

This is definitely a MUST see. Make sure you tune into ESPN tonight at 9pm.
