What A Funny Coincidence: Jalen Rose Compared Terry Rozier To Eric Bledsoe At 2015 NBA Draft

In the first round series between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks, one new-born rivalry stood out – Eric Bledsoe vs Terry Rozier.

When held to being a non-factor in game 1 by Rozier’s defense, Bledsoe said ‘I don’t know who the f**k that is’ when asked about him. As the series went on, the two were also involved in a scuffle.

In the end it was playoff basketball, and when Boston won the series in game 7, the two hugged it out after the game, and Bledsoe even praised Rozier after the series was over.

The funny part of this ‘duel’ is that when Rozier was drafted in 2015, Jalen Rose compared Rozier to Bledose. Tian Rossi found the old clip and shared it via Twitter:
