Jalen Rose shared a personal message on the Ja Morant situation:

Jalen Rose spitting and giving actual advise unlike all the haters 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

@JADubin5 Wonderful and accurate message, one I personally relate to. I just wish he’d keep this energy when pretending those who can’t afford $100 haircuts are being stingy or cheap. Always remember where you come from, and not just when it’s time to deliver a motivational message. 💯

That was incredible. Add subtract multiply or divide. Uplift. I hope it is shown several times.

That’s the thing tho. J. Rose really from the trenches of Detroit. That’s really all he knew, so J. Rose needed to grow from that stuff. Ja is not from the hood, he had a stable household. There wasn’t even stories about financial struggles for him. He electing to live this way

@JalenRose the difference between you and him is his dad is there with him to help guide him through the pressure from others. He travels with him and goes to all his games. We should be asking why Tee Morant is not being better influence in his sons life.

Good message. Let’s uplift and help everybody. Especially our brothers.

This is what Ja needs to hear. Thank you Jalen for being open and honest.

From a mainstream broadcast. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @JalenRose for keeping it 💯 and uplifting Ja, instead of tearing down a young talented man.

@Espngreeny I don’t always agree with Jalen Rose but he’s literally been there; most of us have not. This is super well-said in a cautionary kind of way.
