BILL SIMMONS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Jalen Rose takes an on-air shot at Chris Webber
It’s the first Friday of the NBA season and you know what that means: a brand new season of ESPN’s NBA Countdown! Gone are Magic and Michael Wilbon. In their place, Doug Collins and Sage Steele. Returning to the set, and giving the people what they want, are Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose, who didn’t take long to drum up some sorely-needed controversy from an ESPN set (that includes...

Jalen Rose: Michael Jordan will play one game with Bobcats
Could Michael Jordan come back for one game? During Grantland’s NBA season preview, Jalen Rose made a bold prediction about His Airness. Rose claims that he thinks Michael Jordan will come back for one game this season for the Bobcats.

Did Bill Simmons Get Cut Off By ESPN For Talking About “The Decision?”
ESPN and Bill Simmons seem to be on thin ice in terms of their relationship, and the latest incident won’t exactly make things easier.
