With the many titles that Jalen has on his current CV. You can now add ambassador of the NBA Retired Players Association to that list.
According to The Score the appointment was announced today.
A role in which he’ll be responsible for bridging the gap between current NBA players and the league’s older almuni.
“It’s a family,” Rose told NBA.com in a phone interview last week. “I really don’t see a disconnect between the two. Now there’s always going to be the mentality that, the older you get, the longer the walk looks.”
This is a great thing to have. Why don’t the NFL have something like this. And if they do, where are they with all this concussion stuff?
Anyways. More from Jalen.
But for the most part, I think there’s a healthy respect in the current players for the retired players and what they’ve done. Hopefully we can create some awareness, some planning, a decision-making mechanism from top to bottom – whether it’s social, emotional or financial – so you’re prepared for that next step.
With Jalen and his analyst position around the ESPN airwaves. This will definitely help him in making the organisation battle for what they stand for.
