02:05 PM ET 09.20 | It appears that the intent to injure players on purpose isn't exclusive to football, as an ex-NBA star has come forward and revealed he once tried to injure a legend of the game on purpose. Former NBA player and current ESPN analyst Jalen Rose came forward in his radio show and talked about purposefully trying to injure the knees of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Rose flirted and danced around actually admitting to going at Kobe on purpose but he eventually cut the foreplay and got right to the money shot. "I can't say that it was an accident," Rose said coyly. "He never knew I did it on purpose. But now he does." Listen to the audio of Rose's show at FanSided.com.

I'm sure it was an accident, like when Harden ran into MWP's elbow.

Jalen is real stupid, isnt he? He must be tired of being a sports analyst!!

Jalen sure knows how to get folks talking about him even tho he has been pretty much irrelevant for almost 10 years in his sport other than being an analyst

Jalen... You're a friggen idiot... why come out and say this now?? who really benefits from this?? makes you look like a complete jackass.. why????

He's not a journalist or a reporter, he is an 'analyst' as if he was ever more than a scorer the major requirement of which is athletic talent. He has to come up with something so that people will listen to him, to remain relevant, to keep the checks coming...he's got, what, 15 no 16 comments on FN, so I guess it's working
