Jalen Rose’s Short Wiki-Bio

Jalen Anthony Rose was born on 30 January 1973, in Detroit, Michigan, as a fifth child to his American parents. Jalen, who stands tall at the height of 6’8”, carries an American nationality and belongs to African ethnicity.

Jalen is the biological son of Jimmy Walker and Jeanne. Jimmy was a former #1 overall pick who started in the backcourt alongside Jerry West in the 1972 NBA All-Star Game. '

Walker walked away from his wife after he found out that he had put her in the family way. Subsequently, Jeanne met James Rose and married him. Jalen, who has never met his birth father, shared a wonderful childhood with his two brothers, Kevin and Bill, and two sisters, James Walker Thompson and Tamara Rose.

With his interest in basketball, Rose initiated his sports career as a college player while studying at the University of Michigan.

Subsequently, he was selected in the team Denver Nuggets where he played for two years starting from 1994. He later played for Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns.

Since his retirement from professional basketball career in 2007, Jalen is currently serving as a sports commentator and as a sports analyst for ESPN.

Recently, Rose presented his view on how Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving could be heading out of the team. As Irving’s contract is scheduled to be over after next season, he could leave for Knicks since Boston is unable to pay to all the assets they have accumulated.

Meanwhile, Jalen was also caught passing a hefty comment on LA Laker’s point guard Lonzo Ball. Lonzo, who suffered a torn left meniscus at the end of the 2017-18 season, always wished to be a Los Angeles Laker.

Since his injury, Lonzo has diminished his trade value. However, Rose points out the situation in a next direction claiming that Ball purposefully ranked down his value to ensure that he remains a Laker.     

Rose’s continuous hard work and dedication undoubtedly earn him a fortune. Reportedly, Jalen summons a riveting net worth which dwells above $60 million thanks to his handsome salary at ESPN network.
