March Madness always reminds me of Michigan's Fab Five. You remember these guys? Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson. I still recall playing ball in the old neighborhood hoping I would one day be the next Jalen Rose. Everybody else wanted to be C-Webb. We can thank Michigan's Fab Five for the baggy shorts and the murdered out basketball sneakers we ball in today. They revolutionized basketball gear to what it is today. If not for them, we might still be wearing 2 inch shorts with compression shorts showing underneath. That would be a shame. I find it sad that most basketball purists associate the Fab Five with Chris Webber's infamous timeout in the championship game more so than the high flying, rim hangin', and street ballin' style of basketball they brought back to the game.
