Jalen Carey is from Harlem, N.Y. He’s not from Brooklyn. He’s not from New Jersey.
Although his mother lives in the Bronx, Carey was born and raised in Harlem. This is important to him, and the more you get to know about Jalen, the more you understand why that’s so.
It’s where he was raised by his father, John Carey. It’s where he cultivated his skills as a basketball player. It’s where he learned how to cope with his skin disease. It’s what molded him into a top-100 basketball player in his class. It’s why he has “Harlem” inscribed across his forearm.
