Man, I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you can find it somewhere on the web....Big Nasty is the big Fab Five guru here so maybe he'll fill u in when he sees this...
Nasty may be the proclaimed "guru", but I know my fair share of Michigan basketball as well. Jalen Rose - 5 Juwon Howard - 25 Jimmy King - 24 Ray Jackson - 21 Chris Webber - 4 100% positive about all.
Ray Jackson was never NBA material, and Jimmy King was drafted and played briefly, but couldn't stay in the league....last season, King was the one who won the Denver Nuggets open tryouts, but he didn't make the squad...

BACKGROUND Selected by the Toronto Raptors in the second round (35th overall) of the 1995 NBA Draft. Traded by Raptors with 1997 and 1998 second round draft choices to Dallas Mavericks for Popeye Jones and a 1997 first-round draft choice (July 23, 1996). Was a member of the University of Michigan?s ?Fab Five? recruiting class, which also included current NBA players Chris Webber (Sacramento Kings), Jalen Rose (Indiana Pacers) and Juwan Howard (Dallas Mavericks). In 1991-92, Michigan coach Steve Fisher elected to start five freshman and the team made it to the Championship Game of the 1992 NCAA Tournament, losing to Duke. The same group also made it to the Final game a year later, losing to North Carolina. Was a four-year starter at Michigan. Finished his career at Michigan ranked second in steals (187) and games started (117), third in three-pointers (122), seventh in assists (354) and 11th in scoring (1,542). As a senior, averaged 14.7 points and was named Third Team All-Big Ten. Scored in double figures in 29 of 31 games. Led team with 58 steals. Averaged 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds as a junior and was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten. As a sophomore, averaged 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds and was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten.</div> King's Career Info Ray Jackson and Jimmy King weren't as highly recruited, and they weren't half as good as Webber, Rose, and Howard. They stayed all four years, and during their Senior years neither one was even named to the All Big Ten team. Infact, King failed to make any of the media's Big Ten teams. Their Senior years, they weren't even the best players on the Wolverine's lineup. That title would go to the Big Ten's Freshman of the year, Maurice Taylor. Jackson and King were both drafted into the CBA in 1995 and that's where Jackson would spend most of his time.
It's worth noting,while Jackson and King weren't as good as Webb,Juwan or Jalen offensively it was their defensive play that locked down alot of good players that got that team a bunch of wins....King and Jackson never get the respect they deserve as college players and thats a sad thing.
The only number to remember is the big 0...as in 0 national championships. *wants a retro OSU Jim Jackson jersey*
thanks ya'll....now I got one that'll stomp ya'll! Who can remember the original Phi Slamma Jamma w/ THEIR NUMBERS?!?
