Happened to notice that three of the Rivals Top 10 hoops recruits are named "Jalen." Not many people leave that big a mark on our culture.
According to Wikipedia, America's finest news source:
Rose's biological father Jimmy Walker was a No. 1 overall draft pick in the NBA who started in the backcourt alongside Jerry West in the 1972 NBA All-Star Game. Although they eventually spoke several times over the phone, Rose never met his father in person. Walker died in July 2007 of lung cancer.[1]
Rose's mother, Jeanne, named him from a combination of his father's name, James, and his uncle's name, Leonard.
Shaq and Kobe have their namesakes, that's for sure, but Jalen is the GOAT hoops name.
