Michigan's Fab Five composed of Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson were the country biggest basketball sensation in the 1990's.
As freshmen and sophomores, they made it to the NCAA title game only to lose both appearances. Chris Webber was NBA bound after his sophomore year, Jalen Rose and Juwan Howard left after their junior years while Ray Jackson and Jimmy King played all four years in Michigan.
For all their talents, the Fab Five became more known for the NCAA violations incurred by Michigan during their time. Many of their titles were vacated and their reputations tarnished. Still, during those years, there was nothing cooler in the college basketball world than to be a Fab Five.
Here's the ESPN tribute.
