About this ebook
“I want to start conversations, and even better, arguments.” – From the Introduction
One of the most outspoken and original voices in sports sounds off while revealing his incredible life story.
Jalen Rose has never been quiet. Not as a kid growing up in Detroit in the 70’s and 80’s. Not as the brash, trash-talking leader of the legendary “Fab Five” at the University of Michigan. Not as the player under the stewardship of Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas and others throughout his 13-year NBA career. And certainly not as a commentator and analyst on ABC/ESPN and Grantland.
In Got to Give the People What They Want, no topic is off limits.
Honest, unfiltered, unbiased. Raw, refreshing, real. This colorful collection of stories and opinions about basketball and life gives people the kind of insight and understanding they don’t get anywhere else in the sports world.

I've been following Jalen since he played in the NBA , but his position in the media made me an even bigger fan. I love the Jalen and Jacoby podcast and if you do too you will love this book. You can hear Jalen speaking as you read this book!

Love to hear Jalen on radio, thought his book should be good and it was. By the way, I didn't like the Fab 5 or Duke but it was a great time to watch college basketball. #tarheels

phenomenal book, appreciated an inside look to the behind the scenes of a historical time in NCAA basketball and to the pillars that he had in place that led to his success. Big fan of Jalen and his career, fab five had me bald for 10 years! lol great read, continued success and blessings!
