Jalen Rose tried to injure Kobe Bryant during 2000 NBA Finals

On his podcast on ESPN?s Grantland Network, Jalen Rose made a serious admission in a clip released on Tuesday.
In the audio clip Rose admits that as a member of the Indiana Pacers during the 2000 NBA Finals, he intentionally tried to injure Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. As Bryant went up for a jump shot, Rose stuck his foot under the Lakers? superstar, in the hopes that he would land on it, turning an ankle, or worse.
Bryant did, in fact, land on Rose?s foot [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p38cQvw1eEk"]during the second quarter of Game 2[/ame] of that series. Bryant played just nine minutes in that game (which the Lakers won by seven), and missed Game 3, which the Pacers won 100-91.

Rose said the following in the clip:
?NBA Finals, 2000. Kobe. Bean. Bryant. Goes up for a jump shot on the right wing, I contest the jump shot, Kobe lands on my foot. He hobbles off, and he actually misses the next game.?
?Now, if it was up to me? If it was up to me? He should?ve just missed the whole series. I would have had a championship ring, and it?d be no harm, no foul.?
​
After badgering from his producer Dave Jacoby, Rose said the following:
?I can?t say that it was an accident.?
When Jacoby asks him how he has maintained a strong relationship with Bryant, Rose replied:
?He never knew I did it on purpose. But now he does.?

bull shit. he's not that good or smart to be able to think, "Hey, if I stick my foot out over here Kobe will probably land on it and be out for the rest of the series" in a split second. he's trying to be a tough guy after the fact and pretend it was on purpose.

That's a random story. What was his reaction when you told him you hated him?

Slight laugh and then pretty much the cold shoulder. About what I'd expect. Whatever.

Some people collect athletes autographs.

Mike collects rebuttals to the "I fucking hate you" line.
