Michigan’s “Fab Five” is reuniting.
Teammates Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson will join host Adam Lefkoe during Saturday’s Michigan-Arizona Final Four game to share “real-time reactions, unique perspectives on the game, and untold stories and candid reflections from their historic run at Michigan,” according to a release from CBS and TNT.
They will reunite for a special alternate presentation that will air on truTV and HBO Max. The Michigan–Arizona matchup will also be available via the traditional game broadcast across TBS, TNT and HBO Max.
“Well, first of all, other than Michael Jordan, since I’ve been alive, I don’t think there’s ever been a group change the culture for the better of our sport than the Fab Five,” Michigan head coach Dusty May said here in Indianapolis at the Final Four. "We’re proud to represent those guys and carry the flag for the former players at the University of Michigan.
"People have no idea all of the great players because there’s been several different coaches and there's been different umbrellas, how many great players, how many great coaches have walked those sidelines and played on that court.
“Obviously the more attention on the Fab Five, the better for us as a brand as a basketball program.”
The “Fab Five” revolutionized college basketball upon arriving together as freshmen in 1991, quickly emerging as both an elite program and a significant cultural force. The group led the Wolverines to consecutive national championship game appearances in 1992 and 1993.
