Jalen Anthony Rose was born on January 30th, 1973 in Detroit, Michigan. He was the youngest of four children, but he had a different father. As a kid, he felt that he didn't want to burden his mother with questions about his dad, so he didn't ask about her. When he was 13 years old, the athletic director of the St. Cecilia Gym in Detroit told him that his father was former NBA All Star and NCAA National Champion, Jimmy Walker. He never spoke to his father before his death in 2007 from cancer.
