Sunday marked the first Mother’s Day for former Michigan star Jalen Rose without his mother being alive and it was an emotional one.
While paying tribute to his mother on NBA Countdown, Rose shed a few tears as he talked about how much his mother meant to him and how she pushed him and believed in him as he grew up.
Your mother would be very proud of you, Jalen.
