Love em or hate em!

The Fab Five had a style of play that got the attention of all who watched them play. The players were flashy, vocal, showy, and very demonstrative. When they entered a gym, they were there to play hard, have fun, and impress all in attendance. There was playful taunting and lots of trash talk that went on and their goal seemed to be to get in the heads of their opponents. It often worked! If you were a fan of the University of Michigan, you most likely loved the Fab Five's enthusiasm and confidence. If you were not a fan, you mostly despised them and viewed them as cocky and bad for the game. They were often booed at opposing arenas and the press was not very kind to them. Even coaches of teams they played had harsh words for them and on occasion encouraged rough, physical play that could possible cause injury to them. No matter what your opinion of the team was, you knew who the Fab Five was and wanted to see them play as you knew what they were doing was never seen before and likely will never be seen again.
