Jalen Rose was working the crowd as he usually does, basking in the success.
His Jalen Rose Leadership Academy graduated its first class last spring and today’s golf outing at Detroit Golf Club was a chance to raise money and build on that success.
There were dozens of Michigan-based celebrities supporting Rose, including Fab Five teammate Jimmy King, who lives locally, and Ray Jackson, who Rose said was flying in from his Texas home. Juwan Howard was slated to arrive until his boss, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, told him they had team responsibilities back in Miami.
