I know Jon just led Hot Clicks yesterday with the Paul Pierce-Isaiah Thomas beef but I really love the honesty from Jalen Rose here. (Deadspin has a better and longer video.) I love the Rose-Pierce-McGrady-Beadle crew on ESPN's NBA pregame show, exactly because of moments like this. The guys are never afraid to speak their mind. Oh, and Isaiah liked a video of this on Instagram.
