The Dr. Vibe Show: JALEN ROSE'S RESPONSE TO GRANT HILL

Former Duke basketball star Grant Hill called critical comments by former Michigan guard and current ESPN analyst Jalen Rose “sad and somewhat pathetic” in an open letter published Wednesday by the New York Times.

Rose, as part of an ESPN Films documentary “The Fab Five” that aired on Sunday, March 13, 2011 (Rose was an executive producer), said Hill and other black Blue Devils basketball players recruited in the early 1990s were “Uncle Toms.”

“I hated Duke and I hated everything Duke stood for. Schools like Duke didn’t recruit players like me. I felt like they only recruited black players that were Uncle Toms,” Rose said in the documentary.

Hill, in the letter published on the Times website and signed “Grant Henry Hill, Duke ’94,” wrote that “In his garbled but sweeping comment that Duke recruits only ‘black players that were ‘Uncle Toms,’ Jalen seems to change the usual meaning of those very vitriolic words into his own meaning, i.e., blacks from two-parent, middle-class families. He leaves us all guessing exactly what he believes today. I am beyond fortunate to have two parents who are still working well into their 60s. They received great educations and use them every day. My parents taught me a personal ethic I try to live by and pass on to my children.”
