🗣️ MICHIGAN GOATS – STARTING 5
Because if you’re talking basketball greatness and your school isn’t Michigan, you might want to sit down.
💛💙 From the Fab Five to the Fab Forefathers, these five Wolverines would win your intramural league, your rec league, your NBA summer league, and probably your fantasy league too.
🧵Let’s break it down:
🏀 Jalen Rose (#5) – The original point-forward hybrid. Made trash talk poetic. Played like he already had a podcast waiting.
🏀 Glen Rice (#41) – Shot so pure they renamed “splash” after him. Dropped 184 points in one NCAA tourney just for fun.
🏀 Cazzie Russell (#33) – Before NIL deals and social media, there was Cazzie—putting Michigan hoops on the national map one bucket at a time. A stadium literally exists because of him.
🏀 Rudy Tomjanovich (#45) – Scrappy, skilled, and smiling like he knows he’s about to take your lunch money and your rebounds. Later won NBA titles coaching greatness too.
🏀 Chris Webber (#4) – 6’10” of highlight reels and power. Made dunking look like ballet. May or may not still be upset about that timeout… (We’re not talking about it.)
GOAL:
Build the most NBA-ready starting five using only players who attended the university for at least one season. This isn’t just about college accomplishments — it’s about who would dominate right now if you dropped them into an NBA game.
