In the latest episode of his “Story Time” series with Grantland, retired NBA great Jalen Rose reminisces on a game at the Garden where his Pacers played the Patrick and the Knicks. During the game, Rose felt he wasn’t getting calls with Patrick Ewing playing overly aggressive on him with the last straw being on a play where he fell to the floor with Ewing proceeding to step over him.
While Ewing was doing this, Rose tried to prevent it by tripping him but failed in the efforts with Pat jumping on him. A few weeks later after defeating the Knicks in Indiana, both teams were flying out for away games as Jalen came across a package that was Patrick’s. He immediately went into it and came across Ewing’s TV and VCR and tells a funny story about how he’s had the TV-VCR combo for years. Watch the entire clip above.
Shout outs to the The Fab 5 and the Pacers team for being inspirations for us growing up.
